Before you book
Is there a special dining programme, and how many bars does the resort have?
From December to April, Dining with the Stars brings a rotating residency of Michelin-starred JRE (Jeunes Restaurateurs) chefs from Europe for roughly two-week gala-dinner runs. On bars: the live site lists two — Veli Beach Bar and the overwater Aqua Over Water Bar — though the resort's own 2024 factsheet PDF states three, including 'an over water lounge.' We haven't been able to resolve the discrepancy from published sources and flag it rather than guess; IMJ can confirm the current count directly with the resort before you book.
