You can be a beginner surfer or an experienced pro, the waves outside the hotel offer the perfect surfing conditions. Guests can enjoy the spectacular sunsets from the beach at a few minutes walk from their room, or spend the lazy afternoon beneath the shade of a palm tree in the backdrop of the hypnotically clashing sea waves.
