Nature Trails

Guests particularly love a secluded waterfall nearby. It is found by a short drive and a fascinating walk through the jungle. Someone from the Villa is usually available to be your guide.

There is also a nature trail on the property with many benches placed in perfect spots for contemplation and meditation. Guests are invited to pick the ripe fruit or maybe relax on the bamboo bed and hear the sound of bamboo clacking in the wind. Walk along a seven-circuit labyrinth in meditation, play on the swing or sit by the shaded trickling spring-fed creek and listen to birdsong.

Snorkeling and Scuba Diving

Arnos Vale Bay, just a short walk downhill through the gardens and along a path,offers one of the best and most accessible snorkelling spots on the island.
The Bay was once used for shipment of processed sugar cane from the Waterwheel on the plantations in the area. It is a good place for novice snorkellers.There is an amazing variety of colourful reef fish and underwater coral formations to explore. You may even be lucky to see a turtle, moray eel or manta ray in the area.

Stargazing, Fireflies, Barbecue and an Evening Swim

Take your catch back to the Villa and prepare a barbecue feast with your friends and family. Spend the evening marvelling at fireflies or stargazing at constellations that might seem unfamiliar to you if you are only accustomed to Northern skies. Jump in the pool and enjoy!
