You can choose between suites and villas with private terraces and plunge pools, from beachy bliss to overwater magic. Ristorante al Tramonto steals the spotlight for most romantic dining destination, with its open-air terrace that soaks up the blazing setting sun each night. Here you can feast on seafood, antipasti, hand-made pizza and pasta set against stunning panoramic views. And then there’s Araamu Spa, a tropical garden sanctuary where time stands still and stress melts away, taking you on a wellness journey to a world of inner calm.
