The Dining Room Bar

 

Sophisticated, peaceful and unhurried, The Dining Room Bar gives a taste of old Persia with local wood and a hammered copper bar.

 

Sundown Special

 

Cocktails and canapés are served around the pool or on the Pontoon while watching the sun set over the Indian Ocean.

 

The Pontoon

 

Walk along the 150-metre jetty perched upon the azure waters of the Indian Ocean.  By day, it serves as a boathouse for pedal boats, kayaks, hobie cats and snorkelling excursions.  At night time, the jetty turns into the perfect sunset lounge bar - a magical place, ideal for gazing out to the ocean beyond and admiring the amazing sunset.
