The unique layout of the property allows you to walk straight from the hotel gardens onto the sand, making it incredibly convenient for early morning strolls or sunset beach walks.

Sport and Entertainment

There is plenty to keep you moving, from a game of tennis on the on-site courts to volleyball and various organised animations. In the evenings, the atmosphere turns lively with professional shows, live music, or karaoke, providing a fun setting for you to socialise with other guests. For those looking for a bit of competition, there is also a games room with billiards and table tennis.

Family Amenities

Families are well looked after with a range of facilities designed to keep younger guests entertained. Kids will love the dedicated paddling pool and the outdoor playground where they can burn off some energy. During the high season, the hotel runs a mini-club, offering a variety of supervised games and activities, allowing you some well-deserved relaxation time while your children are having fun.
