Its marvellous facilities and leisure activities work in perfect harmony with the stunning natural surroundings, making the most of the pristine white sands and cerulean waters that make this part of the world so desirable. In particular, the Iridium Spa could be a destination in its own right, offering an extensive wellness programme and opulent sanctuary within its strikingly beautiful spaces.
