    Rooms range from 41 to 110 square metres in size and are designed in a contemporary local style, with a balcony or terrace in every room and views of the gardens, pool or sea.

    A selection of family rooms with bunk beds are also available, while the newly-reimagined resort has introduced brand-new pool access rooms, private cabana rooms, two-bedroom suites and private pool suites.
