Which rooms are best for couples?

For couples, the most private options are the Penthouse Suite With Jacuzzi, with a private Jacuzzi, ocean-view bathtub and panoramic views, or the Deluxe Premier With Plunge Pool, which has its own plunge pool and ocean views. The Deluxe Ocean View with Soaking Bathtub is a quieter alternative with a deep tub and private terrace.

The Penthouse Suite With Jacuzzi is our most indulgent space, with expansive indoor-outdoor living, a private Jacuzzi, an ocean-view bathtub and panoramic views. The Deluxe Premier With Plunge Pool gives you your own plunge pool, outdoor living space and uninterrupted ocean views.

For a quieter retreat, the Deluxe Ocean View with Soaking Bathtub pairs a deep tub and private terrace with the rhythm of the sea, while the Deluxe Premier Pool Access Room lets you step straight from your room into the pool area.
