The wellness center is open to both guests and the local community and with incredible demand in the local market over the past year, they expanded the fitness center and creatively re-imagined The Pavilion, a newly debuted event space to accommodate group fitness classes.

 

Located directly on the beach and featuring hundreds of skylights in the form of stars, The Pavilion creates a backdrop for yoga unlike any other with views out across the wide sands and turquoise waters.
