Guests can enjoy crystal clear infinity pools, a range of delicious dining options, and water sports in the lagoon. Take relaxation to the next level, by indulging in a spa treatment at one of the two spas including the Ocean Spa which features 8 over-water pavilions, before watching the sunset with a cocktail in hand.

Everything you need you can find in this resort. Our island host Diyu made sure everything was arranged the way we wanted. The shuttle bus taking us around the island could be better organized however overall our stay was amazing. Sunset restaurant was not our favorite many other options were available.
