At the resort’s centre is the Shipwreck Hut Beach Bar. An authentic beach bar overlooking the aqua blue lagoon; stacked on the white sand like a woodpile with no door and no walls, it blends perfectly into the environment. The Shipwreck Hut is a pirate themed bar, we even have cocktails like the “Grumpy Pirate” and lots of signs to keep you amused.
