The 81 square-metre Ocean View and Beachfront Junior Suites lie directly on the bay’s fine white sandy beach. Sun loungers, umbrellas and chairs are provided, while guests can also hire water sports equipment, including for diving, snorkelling and surfing.

The Nira Spa includes 25 treatment rooms over 7,000 square metres, and is one of the largest spas in the Indian Ocean. The emphasis is placed on a holistic approach combining sensory experiences, the expansion of consciousness and physical health. One unique concept combines traditional Ayurvedic healing treatments with a macrobiotic diet of fresh, local produce. The expansive spa area, with tea pavilion, wellness kitchen, fitness room, and private herb and vegetable garden, exudes a peaceful atmosphere amid flower gardens and tranquil pools. 4 different spa concepts are offered: Holistic-bio, Indian, Oriental and Fitness & Wellness. Nutritional advice, revitalising exercises and yoga classes help the body and mind achieve balance.
