It offers great flexibility and creates a distinctive relaxation and socialising space; including stylish L-shaped seating, the conservatory-style room can be closed off or left open according to the time of day or mood. In the morning, you could keep it closed to enjoy a quiet coffee overlooking the ocean while everyone else is still asleep. By day or evening, the room can be opened out fully onto the balcony. With a direct connection to the sea, the space is cool and shaded – and perfect for chilling out in.
