Poolside Pause

If you prefer a dip without the sand, the resort features two sparkling swimming pools set amid tropical gardens. We provide beach towels at both the pools and the beach—so travel lighter and relax longer.

Midday: Explore, Taste, and Take It Easy

On Wheels: Explore the Heart of Grace Bay

Pick up complimentary resort bicycles and pedal to nearby favorites like Salt Mills Plaza. It’s a fun, no-hassle way to browse shops or grab a snack, then be back on the beach in minutes.

Afternoon: Snorkel, Spa, or Simply Snooze

Snorkeling Stroll: Bight Reef (Coral Gardens)

For an easy, close-to-home adventure, take a short walk (or quick bike ride) west along the beach to the Bight Reef, also known as Coral Gardens. This near-shore reef begins just off the sand and often rewards snorkelers with views of vibrant coral formations, sea turtles, and schools of tropical fish in remarkably clear water.

Float Between Pools and Beach

Alternate between the quiet calm of the pools and the gentle surf on Grace Bay. With towels, loungers, and umbrellas provided, you can switch settings without a second thought.
