Beach baskets, hats and fouta towels are provided for time on the sand.
Dining
The restaurant sits inside a fully restored 19th-century lighthouse, with seating indoors or on a terrace overlooking the beach. The chef curates a five-course tasting menu and beachside BBQ dinners. An à-la-carte menu is available at an additional charge, served in the restaurant or as room service between 12:30 and 22:00.
The bar-lounge is a short walk from the sunbeds, with views over the ocean at sunset. Guests gather on the beach before dinner for an aperitif around a campfire, feet in the sand. Soft drinks, fresh juices, cocktails, wines and spirits are included through the day.
