Where to stay
Each of the 88 individually designed rooms and cottages occupy a dozen colonial buildings dotted around the grounds. The walk from the rooms and cottages down to the golden sand beach through the frangipani trees along the bougainvillea-lined winding paths is a sensory delight. For that extra bit of indulgence we love the spacious Tamarind and Ixora Villas.

What to do
Coral Reef Club’s tropical gardens are an attraction in their own right so make sure you take one on the winding pathways through the frangipani with humming and sugar birds in abundance. The experience is almost as relaxing as the pampering treatments available in the spa. For families, during July and August, there is a dedicated programme with sailing and swimming lessons included.
