The beach can get busy with visiting tourists during the day which provides the perfect opportunity to escape to one of three separate swimming pools – one providing a serene adults only environment, or for a livelier atmosphere there’s the Club Del Mar pool with underwater music and hydro jets.

Occupying over 2,320 Sq m of grounds,  the luxury Anumba spa offers a sublime spa experience that will leave guests rejuvenated and relaxed with a renewed sense of wellbeing.
