“Wonderful, relaxed beachside hotel in sub-tropical gardens, with views to Africa from the pool. Simple rooms with terracotta colours and white washed walls. Easy access to sporting activities. Ideal for families. ”

Hotel review

This perennially favourite and chic hotel sits right on the beach and yet feels a world apart, set as it is in a lush sub-tropical garden. The architecture is Moorish and the hotel has a colonial feel to it, with its deep-set balconies. A health club, gymnasium, sauna and massage are all available. Come to enjoy the serious food and wines and for a sunset horseback ride along the beach.

"There's a small swimming pool with views across the sea and the hotel is surrounded by tropical gardens and palm trees. Steps lead directly down from the front of the pool to the rocks and on to a broad expanse of sand."
