Musica della Notte showcases a unique blend of classic opera, romantic and festive music, along with 'popera'—the popular musical style that bridges the gap between pop and opera. The activities begin every night at sunset (weather permitting) with strolling musicians followed by the show.

If you need a cocktail at the pool, all you need do is wave and we’ll bring you a chilled bellini—or a light lunch. Here, you’ll find we have three stunning pools to choose from—and, of course, our staff will bring you cocktails poolside

Spoil Yourself at the Luxurious Mandara Spa®
For those who’d like to indulge in a little pampering, our full-service Mandara Spa is located between our Beach and Villa pools.
The name Mandara is Sanskrit and comes from an ancient legend about the gods’ quest to find the secret to eternal youth and beauty. We think you’ll find the answer in our own Mandara Spa. Think of it as your personal oasis where you can relax, rejuvenate and renew. We’ll spoil you from hair to toe in one of our 16 treatment rooms. So, take time from all the excitement to switch gears, slow down and savor a little “me time”. Pamper yourself with an Indigenous Dolce Limoncello Body Polish with Massage, an ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Precison Peel or a Fire and Ice Pedicure.
