There is also scuba diving, boat rental (offshore and sailing craft) and catamaran cruises available at extra cost.

For guests more inclined to relaxation the Sanctuary Spa offers an extensive selection of massage, beauty and skincare treatments using the exclusive La Prairie range of cosmetics.

In our opinion: This is a wonderful 5* hotel that we are happy to recommend. It does not offer All Inclusive plans and is therefore slightly more exclusive as it does not cater to the package tourism market. We suggest The Residence for honeymooners and other guests who have enjoyed a safari holiday in Africa and are looking for a few nights relaxing before they return home.
