There’s always something captivating happening within the breathtaking surroundings.

Fresh seafood, sizzling steaks and sunsets
Dress up and head down to oceanfront Charcoal, the aroma from the centrepiece charcoal grill calling your name. The steak is dry aged, and the wine sommelier is on standby to recommend a glass (or bottle) to perfect your meal.
Plant yourself in a poolside lounger and exhale. Snack all day on wood-fired pizzas, tapas and noodles, with smoothies and iced coffee in between. Evenings are chilled as the sun goes down and the beats come on, with the occasional movie under the stars.
