Why stay?

Opened last summer, the resort offers stylish lodgings that exude safari chic and every room has a private hot tub or pool. The centrepiece of the property is the swimming pool, evoking a mangrove with its meandering design. There are four dining experiences to explore: you’ll find contemporary Asian cuisine at Dhira; Western grilled specialities at Sandali; coffee by day and cocktails by night at Vanya; and bespoke fine dining on the beach at Lanthaaruma. The Eforea Spa provides relaxing treatments that draw from ancient and modern pampering techniques, in glass treatment rooms that may even grant you a glimpse of passing leopards. The nature-first design ethos ensures the utmost respect for the environment. Three greenbelts run through the resort, so animals can roam freely – don’t be alarmed if you see an elephant passing by.
