Daily Themes
Every stay runs on the resort's All-Inclusive plan: breakfast, lunch and dinner at The Market, afternoon tea and coffee with snacks from 4:30 to 6:00 PM, drinks by the glass from 10 AM to midnight — beer, wine, spirits and selected cocktails included — and a minibar restocked daily. Kayaks, paddleboards and snorkeling gear are included too, and stays of 5 nights or more can upgrade to Extreme All-Inclusive for premium drinks, two excursions and a romantic beach dinner.
The butterfly-shaped island is split in two. Beach Villas, Family Beach Villas and overwater Lagoon Villas sit on the east side facing the sunrise; Beach Suites, Lagoon Suites, the pool suites and both Residences sit on the west side facing the sunset, so the view from your deck depends on the villa you pick.
Each guest gets a dedicated island host, on call around the clock, who arranges dinners, excursions, spa times and the rest of the stay — one person to message instead of calling different desks.
Chefs cook fresh seafood, meats and seasonal vegetables on a sizzling teppan grill in front of you — part dinner, part show, and a change from the main restaurant.
The main restaurant is laid out like an open-air food market, with cuisines from around the world and a new theme each day, served with a view of the Indian Ocean.
