Relaxation Beyond Compare

Relax and unwind on the expansive helipad, where you can recline in a deck chair or gently sway in a hammock while embracing the cool ocean breeze. It’s a unique vantage point that allows you to connect with a 360-degree view of the ocean.

Underwater Adventures

When the elements align, take an exhilarating ride on the hoist down to the sea, where you can swim amidst a vibrant underwater world teeming with brilliantly colored baitfish, patrolled by razor-toothed barracuda, and observed by sand tiger sharks below. Whether you’re a surface snorkeler or an experienced SCUBA diver, this is an adventure of a lifetime.
