There are 86 luxurious rooms and suites of different types. The smallest are really quite small, but the sky-blue walls and pretty finishing touches make up for their size. Other rooms are much larger, and the family rooms are fantastic. All rooms have views either of the lapping waves or the hotel’s gardens, and treats include fresh fruit, macaroons and flowers on arrivals and a daily replenishment of magazines and books. Bathrooms are mostly marble, enormous and have fabulous rain showers and tubs.

They won the Best Sustainable Business at the Catey Awards 2023.
