The Pool & Outdoor Activities
Not a bad place to spend the summer. I can only imagine how beautiful the sunsets are in person. The hotel’s infinity pool features a diving board. And guests can enjoy outdoor activities such as tennis, rope climbing, floating rafts, or paddle boarding. If you’re looking for something a little more relaxing, you can enjoy yoga sessions and spa treatments outside of the hotel. There’s nothing like getting a message with a sea view.
