Pool & outdoors
Days here tend to revolve around the water. The main outdoor freshwater pool sits on a raised terrace overlooking the sea, edged by lawns, parasols and loungers – a lovely spot for lazy afternoons and sunset swims.
A short stroll leads you down to Cala Granu, a sheltered, white-sand cove with clear, shallow water perfect for swimming. The hotel’s private beach club is located directly on the sand and offers sun loungers and umbrellas for an additional local charge, giving you a comfortable base for long beach days. Facilities and services may vary by season and weather.

Wellness facilities include a compact spa area with sauna, whirlpool and a menu of massage and beauty treatments (charges apply; typically open 10:00–18:00), plus an on-site hairdresser for extra pampering.
If you like to keep active, there’s a gym (usually 08:00–22:00), as well as football and tennis, with yoga available for a local fee.
