A separate indoor freshwater pool provides a calm alternative and is heated between November and April – handy for early- or late-season escapes.
Step beyond the gardens and you’re straight onto the sandy/pebbly beachfront, ideal for sunbathing, swimming and long walks along the shore. A range of water sports, including canoeing, pedalos, snorkelling, motorised water sports and scuba diving, is available from local providers for an extra charge (minimum age 16; seasonal, weather-dependent).
Spa, Sports and Other Facilities
Wellness is a strong suit here. The spa features a sauna, steam room and whirlpool plus a full menu of massages and beauty treatments, alongside an on-site hairdresser (treatments and services incur local charges; opening hours vary seasonally).
The air-conditioned gym comes with cardio machines, an aerobics studio and free weights, open six days a week (typically 09:00–18:00, March–October; 16+). A wide choice of activities – from aqua aerobics, dance classes and darts to petanque, table tennis, tennis and snooker – keeps you as active or as relaxed as you like, with bike hire available if you fancy exploring the coastline on two wheels.
Entertainment is year-round, with a full daytime programme and evening shows including live music and DJs in summer, and a gentler line-up in the cooler months (schedules can change seasonally). Practical touches include a 24-hour reception, concierge services, currency exchange, luggage storage and wheelchair or mobility scooter support (hire/charging fees may apply).
