Seven restaurants on one island
With seven dining venues on-site, you are not eating the same menu twice. Breakfast alone spans continental, full English, halal, gluten-free, Asian, American, and buffet formats. There is also a bar, a coffee house, and room service.
House reef for snorkelling and diving
The reef runs directly off the beach, so there is no boat required to reach it. Both snorkellers and divers use it. The recent guest location score sits at 9.5 out of 10.
Private pools in every room category
Every villa and the apartment includes a private pool. The Beach Pool Villa gives you 470 m² of space; the overwater options sit at 220 m² each. No pool is shared with neighbouring units.
Kids' club and family rooms
A dedicated kids' club runs on-site. The two-bedroom villa categories sleep families without needing connecting rooms, and the property lists family rooms as a facility.
Activities beyond the water
On land there is a tennis court, fitness centre, bicycle rental, aerobics, cooking classes, and local culture tours. The resort also runs live music, themed dinner nights, and temporary art galleries.
Spa and wellness centre
The spa is a full wellness centre rather than a treatment room. It sits alongside the fitness centre. Specific treatment menus are not listed in our data, but it is one of the property's core facilities.
