A real, tropical dream of palms, white sand and crystal blue sea.

The structure of the hotel is very special and typical of the island: on the one there hand there are rooms and luxury apartments that overlook the ocean, on the other characteristic wooden bungalows built on the sea and linked by picturesque bridges. This configuration has required special intervention by VDA Multimedia for the installation of PowerTV: Each unit is linked via fibre-optic, high-capacity digital transmission.
