A Natural, Feng Shui-Led Wellness Identity
Wellness before conventional resort living
The property is organised around detoxification, healthy living and restorative stays rather than a conventional leisure-resort model. Its alcohol-free operation is central to the identity, while public spaces emphasise calm, neutral-toned wellness environments.
Natural materials and balanced interiors
Accor describes the design as combining natural elements with Feng Shui principles. Common areas extend this approach through wellness zones, beach-facing relaxation spaces, a lobby café and contemporary event facilities.
Balconies and Beach- or Pool-Facing Accommodation
Rooms and suites across the Palm beachfront
The property offers 255 rooms and suites rather than villas. Official room information confirms beach- or pool-side views in selected categories, while sea views are common across the accommodation inventory.
Private outdoor outlooks
Most rooms have balconies, and some accommodation categories also include a lounge area. These outdoor and sitting spaces complement the property’s beachfront and pool-oriented setting.

Infinity-Pool Views and Palm Crescent Recreation
