Ocean Adventures and Island Activities
The island’s Marine Centre is a hub of action for both thrill-seekers and those seeking a slower pace. From dolphin cruises and night snorkelling to jet skiing, parasailing, and paddleboarding, guests can explore both above and below the waterline. For those who prefer to stay dry, activities such as aerial yoga, sound healing, and table tennis are also available.
For families, the Planet Trekkers Kids Club and dedicated Teen Programme ensure young guests have just as much fun, with activities like diver certification, cooking classes, and nature-based arts and crafts.

Suspended over the tranquil Indian Ocean, this serene retreat offers indulgent wellness rituals using premium skincare brands such as Biologique Recherche, Eminence Organics, and Margaret Dabbs London. Six overwater treatment villas set the tone for true relaxation and rejuvenation.
