“The beachfront setting is just heavenly. Relax on the beach itself or by the pool (heated during colder months) or gaze out at the waters from your own private balcony or pool.”

“Sustainability is at the forefront of this luxurious hotel from the production of their own honey to working with local farmers and growing much of their own produce.”

“The hotel can organise day trips including a cruise in a traditional caique around the Mirabello Gulf, discovering some of the lesser-known beaches. The chef prepares a picnic for you which includes goodies like fresh bread and traditional delicacies.”
