What to Expect—By Suite Style

One Bedroom Suite: A Home-Style Reset for Two or Three

These suites feel like your own private retreat. You’ll have a dedicated bedroom for cool, restorative sleep and a separate lounge where a fan keeps air moving naturally. Step outside onto your private balcony overlooking the gardens—perfect for morning tea or an evening read. With Wi-Fi, mini-fridge, and flat screen cable TV, winding down is effortless.

Two Bedroom Duplex Suite: Space to Spread Out

Families or small groups appreciate the two-level design and separate living and dining areas. Bedrooms stay cool with air conditioning, while the fan-cooled lounge supports easy gatherings—whether you’re planning the day’s watersports or recapping dinner at Restaurant On the Water or NOIR Restaurant.

Family Suites (Two & Three Bedrooms): Designed for Together Time

Traveling with a bigger crew? The 4–6 guest capacity, private balcony, and separate living/dining areas help everyone relax. Bedrooms remain air-conditioned for restful nights, and the fan-cooled lounge provides a comfortable hub for games, conversation, and garden views.

Practical Tips to Personalize Your Comfort

Use these simple strategies to make the most of the setup:

  1. Sleep smart: Keep bedroom doors and windows closed while the air conditioning runs to maintain a consistent sleep temperature.
  2. Lean into the lounge breeze: Use the lounge fan for easy daytime comfort when you’re relaxing, reading, or getting ready for dinner.
  3. Plan cool-down windows: After time in the sun, retreat to the air-conditioned bedroom for a quick refresh before heading out again.
  4. Stage your day: Enjoy coffee or tea in the fan-cooled lounge or on your private balcony/patio, and reserve the bedroom’s cool comfort for naps and night-time rest.
  5. Dress the space: Lightweight clothing and breathable fabrics help you feel comfortable in fan-cooled areas between swims and spa sessions.
