Dining
Considering its private and reasonably isolated location, the variety and quality of dining options are remarkable; the hotel boasts 6 different culinary and drinking options, with ingredients being fresh and locally sourced.
The first dining option is ‘The Market’, situated on the beach, this serves an impressive breakfast spread and also serves as host to signature buffets with varying international themes. If you appreciate traditional Italian dishes, ‘Bottega’ serves these with the twist and tropical backdrop.
Those looking for a culinary experience that puts emphasis on local produce should look no further than ‘Drift’, which serves locally caught reef fish prepared on a grill and an assortment of other lighter seafood dishes and salads.
‘Sip and Sand’ is located by the pool, serving charcoal cooked meals during lunch before converting into a Japanese restaurant after the sun sets, offering favourites such as sushi and tempura seafood prepared by the resident chefs.
‘The Point’ is perfect for those looking for a lighter meal, located on the north tip of the island, expect stunning views coupled with excellent wine and Spanish tapas.
Living up to its name ‘Sunset Point’ is an unforgettable sundowner spot, with an exciting drinks menu and live music from the resident DJ. A private castaway picnic can also be arranged on your very own deserted island for those looking for something different.
