Information & Amenities
Sun-worshippers can spend the day sipping cocktails by one of the five swimming pools, one of which is heated all year round, or head down to the private beach to enjoy a spot of sea swimming. Guests can take a stroll through the lush gardens, while the hotel offers a programme of daytime and evening activities and excursions including sporting pursuits and live entertainment. Relaxation comes in the form of a range of spa treatments including facials, massage, wraps, stone therapy, shiatsu, and deep tissue massage. The spa baths offer hydrotherapy treatment pools, underwater massage, hot tub, and seawater relaxation sessions, as well as more specific treatments such as shiatsu, reiki, reflexology, osteopathy, or chocolaterapy. After some serious pampering, guests can enjoy the tranquil relaxation room, Turkish baths, sauna and solarium, or go souvenir hunting in the gift shop. More active guests will appreciate the four tennis courts and the fitness centre, where trained instructors are on hand to offer advice and arrange personalised fitness programmes; classes including aerobics and aqua gym are also available. |
