Life by the sea

If relaxing in the warm waters of the Atlantic sounds heavenly, then you’ve found your golden ticket here. Not only will you find strips of dark-grained beaches and a hidden cove, but there are 46,000 square metres of seawater running through a pool complex surrounded by places to eat.

Tropical treasures

It isn’t just underwater sights bobbing up in these parts – plant life is abundant, too. You can discover more than 1,000 amazing tropical species of flora in the Botanical Gardens, and the Sitio Litre is home to a beautiful orchid garden housing the area’s oldest dragon tree. It’s green-fingered greatness!
