the details
dining
The Restaurant provides a choice of dining settings. It is divided into two areas, one open to sea breezes and the other air-conditioned. The open setting leads down to a terrace with outdoor seating scattered beneath two large trees. Both areas have sweeping views of the ocean. The second area can be closed to provide air-conditioned dining in the hotter months and also opens to an outdoor balcony that enjoys views across the central reflecting pond. The cuisine focuses on classic Asian and modern Mediterranean dishes with an emphasis on fresh seafood.
bar
Beyond the Restaurant and leading to the swimming pool is The Bar. The structure is circular in design and features a soaring ceiling. It includes a central service bar with a number of oversized lounging daybeds on its perimeter. Leading from The Bar is a spacious terrace that provides informal dining throughout the day and more large lounging beds. The Bar is also the ideal venue for sipping exotic fruit cocktails or aperitifs while watching the sun set, or for enjoying an after-dinner cigar or nightcap. Afternoon tea is served daily.
beach club
Located on a dune above the southern end of the sweeping 800-metre (2,625-foot) white sand beach, the Beach Club provides a casual dining venue throughout the day and most evenings. A choice in seating is available from the elevated interior to the bar front, or the lower terrace that leads to an expansive timber deck. Beyond lies the Dive Pavilion, Nature Discovery Centre and wooden pathway to the beach. A simple menu offers flavours of Asia and the Mediterranean with casual beach fare and showcases dishes fired in a stone hearth oven. Afternoon cooking demonstrations paired with wine or rum tastings are held several times throughout the year.
swimming pool
The swimming pool is located within an expansive terrace that provides uninterrupted views of the ocean. Measuring 50 by 8 metres (164 by 26 feet), two lounging salas on either end offer shallow entry to the pool. A third lounging sala is located beyond the pool and closer to the oceanfront. Pairs of sunloungers are positioned along the timber deck and an outdoor shower area is provided.
