Once you’ve settled into your villa of choice, spend your days discovering the vibrant coral reefs and marine life that surround the island. Just beyond the harbour channel lies the island’s hidden gem, the Shipwreck, home to nurse sharks, stonefish, and shimmering schools of glassfish weaving through the water. For a different perspective, hop on a semi-submarine, head out on a thrilling big game fishing trip, or take to the water by kayak or paddleboard and let the island’s beauty unfold around you.

Wellness seekers can experience total relaxation at SPA Cenvaree, where ancient Thai healing traditions complement modern techniques, offering a menu of soothing massages, revitalising facials, and holistic therapies. Just beyond the spa, a 200-year-old Banyan Tree stands as a symbol of South Asian culture and a place of quiet reflection. Here, guests are invited to take part in a mindful blessing ritual, setting personal intentions and tying them to the tree in a powerful moment of connection with nature.

Guests can also explore the resort through your taste buds with six dynamic restaurants and bars to satisfy every craving. Start each day with an international breakfast buffet at Reef, followed by a hearty Italian-inspired lunch or dinner at Mare Azzuro or a taste of authentic Thai cooking at Suan Bua. As the evening unfolds, head to Aqua for a refreshing aperitif by the sparkling blue lagoon or enjoy a casual sip at Coral Bar & Lounge.
