The Pansy Shell room, a spacious sea facing suite opens onto the patio and pool area. Perfect for honeymooners or those guests wanting that something extra, the stylish and modern bathroom boasts a lavish walk in shower and luxury bath.
The Urchin room, equally elegant also has a sea view. It too has a beautiful bathroom with a modern designed frameless glass shower as do the Cowrie and Conch which also has a bath. All our rooms have an extra length king size bed with an option to configure them as singles except the Cowrie, which comes standard with a king size bed.
