We love
- the Healthy restaurant ZEST: vegetarian, vegan, vegetable and fruit juices and delicious salads. All freshly made!
- Dining at Japanese restaurant Yakuza by Olivier - traditional Japanese specialities with a Mediterranean twist. Utterly delicious. The Zest restaurant serves yummy health and light meals and is also worth a visit.
- A glass of prosecco or healthy smoothie at sunset by the Mirador Champagne bar, situated by the cliff with stunning sea views.
- The Ila products at the Spa: a holistic and 100% pure brand from England whose products are used in a number of holistic treatments
- The 9-hole golf course surrounding the resort
- The new Active studio in the fields with the Bootcamp Circuit
