Sandbank Escape

The Sandbank Escape offers a private dining experience on a secluded sandbank at the edge of the lagoon, accessible by boat. Reserved exclusively for guests, the setting accommodates a range of occasions, from candlelit dinners and beachside barbecues to stargazing under the open sky.

With the table prepared ahead of arrival, guests can enjoy a meal surrounded by the lagoon and uninterrupted ocean views. The experience provides a secluded setting for special celebrations or relaxed evenings away from the main island.

Organic Garden Dining

Set within the palm-shaded kitchen garden, the experience highlights fresh produce and the connection between the island’s natural resources and its culinary offerings. The tranquil setting provides an alternative to conventional restaurant dining, with the meal shaped around the garden and its seasonal ingredients.
