Surprise Your Loved One

  • Let your partner open the hotel room door to a beautiful surprise – a bouquet of fresh flowers and a bottle of champagne on ice. These extras can easily be added when booking your room or package.

  • Add late check-out. Sometimes it’s that final morning that feels the most luxurious. Late check-out is available for an additional fee, subject to availability.

  • Choose a room with sea views for an extra touch of elegance – or why not upgrade to a suite?

  • Order oysters to enjoy with your drinks – rumoured to be a natural aphrodisiac.

  • Treat yourselves to a soothing spa treatment or massage. A wonderful way to unwind and take care of each other.

  • Don’t miss the Rooftop, with sweeping sea views, a bar and an infinity pool – a stylish spot all year round, and especially magical in the evening.
