Facilities

Pool & outdoors


The central freshwater pool is the social heart of the hotel, edged with sunbeds and Balinese beds so you can dial the vibe up or down as you please. Towels are available with a refundable deposit, meaning you can travel a little lighter.

Step beyond the pool and you’re virtually on Central Malia beach – just a few steps separate you from the sand and the warm, clear waters the area is famous for. It’s ideal for those who want to hop between beach days and poolside lounging without ever straying far from their room.

If you like to stretch or gently move on holiday, you can join yoga sessions and recharge mind and body. Reception and concierge are on hand to help with currency exchange, scooter hire and local tips, and there’s dedicated charging and rental for mobility scooters if you need a little extra support getting around.
