Our favourite rooms
The Ridge Terrace Rooms (both with pool and without) are a great choice for families – each suite has its garden with an olive tree, outdoor shower, plunge pool or cabana. Most have a terrace, which can be used for alfresco meals, sunbathing or meditation. All rooms are pretty spacious, but it’s worth noting that Deluxe rooms have adjoining balconies, so aren’t as private.
Poolside
There are plenty of places for submerging yourself in water, including: an indoor therapy pool, a Watsu pool, an indoor swimming pool, an outdoor lounge pool, a kid-friendly pool and an outdoor sports pool. The spa has a rooftop infinity pool overlooking the beach, perfect for post-massage lie-downs should standing be too much effort.
Spa
This is a Six Senses stay, so you can expect the spa to be impressive; various wellness programmes (ranging from boot camps to sleep health and holistic anti-ageing) are on offer if you want to get serious. There’s a sauna, steam room, personal trainers, yoga and Pilates, a mud chamber, hammam, salt grotto and some intriguingly named ‘experiential rain’, which sounds a lot more fun than your average downpour.
Packing tips
Based on the hotel’s water-baby appeal, you’ll be spending a lot of time in your bathing suit, so be sure to bring your best selection. Gladiator sandals for ruin rambling, optional.
Also
The hotel has two adapted rooms for wheelchair users.
