Offshore trolling, jigging and popping for marlin, tuna, sailfish and dorado — a different boat and crew from the sunset hand-reel trip.

An open-air cinema screening, whether at a fixed venue, a jungle clearing, a sandbank or a private beach setup.

The resort's own kids' club — supervised, age-segmented crafts, sports, water play and themed activities, running under dozens of different in-house names.
Kids' Marine-Biology Camp

Jet ski, seabob, flyboard, parasail and wakeboard, rented or instructed through the resort's own watersports centre.

Before you book
How good is the house reef?
The resort describes it as a great house reef with rich marine life, and Dive Kingdom, the on-site PADI 5-star dive centre, is based at the resort itself. Divers and snorkellers both have a lot to work with right off the island, without needing a boat excursion to reach good coral.
What else is there to do beyond the beach and the reef?
AyClub covers the gym, yoga studio, and games hall, plus floodlit tennis and a futsal court; the Water Sports Centre adds parasailing, e-foiling, wakeboarding, and glass-bottomed boat tours; and private excursions run to big-game fishing, a sunset cruise, dolphin spotting, an island picnic, a sandbank experience, and even an equator crossing.
