Full accommodation information
Hotel information
If it’s activity you’re looking for, head down to the seafront for a variety of exhilarating watersports; for a bit of relaxing inactivity, spend an afternoon at the large private beach, or indulge at Chi, the Spa.
From pitch-and-putt and mini golf to the E-Zone with video consoles and a games arcade, there’s more than enough to keep you entertained should you want to tear yourself away from the beautiful beach. Choose from four exquisite restaurants serving an array of international cuisine.
Accommodation is divided between the Main Wing and the Ocean Wing, and all rooms feature complimentary Wifi, mini-bar, safe and laundry service. Sleeping up to two adults and two children (or three adults and one child), the Main Wing’s Deluxe Rooms offer fabulous views of the landscaped gardens and a private balcony. In the same wing but offering more space and ideal for families or groups, Deluxe Family Rooms include two queen-size beds as well as a private balcony.
The Ocean Wing offers ultraluxe and supremely spacious accommodation, with a dedicated team of staff to ensure your every need is catered for. Guests in this wing benefit from exclusive use of the Ocean Wing pool. Premier Rooms offer views of either the gardens or the pool from the private balcony and can sleep a maximum of two adults and two children. As the name suggests, Panorama Rooms offer stunning vistas over the ocean and beach from the balcony. For couples, we recommend upgrading to an Ocean Club Room for exclusive access to the Ocean Club’s lounge.
