There is a restaurant, pool, various terrace bars, and various sporting activities, such as a diving school and beach volleyball court, while guests can also indulge in a massage at the wellness centre.

The action heats up in the evening as the beach turns into one of the liveliest places on the coast, with a selection of international DJs providing the entertainment for some of the best parties of the summer. Open from May to the end of September.
