Here you’ll find wonderfully appointed, ocean-facing rooms and suites, various dining options, outdoor tennis courts, a 24-hour fitness centre, and more.

Complimentary, non-motorised water sports equipment is also available, as well as a fantastic range of facilities for everyone. Couples, families, solo travellers, and groups can all look forward to experiencing the cultural spirit and cuisine of the island in serene surroundings, perfectly complemented by a fusion of contemporary accents and old-world Moorish architecture.
