They can also unleash their creativity with Wall Painting sessions, as they swap paper and pens for a vast canvas, or uncover arts & crafts, aquatic adventures, and discovery walks with the daily Kids’ Club Activities. Then, at the end of the day, gather around a fire pit on the beach for Marshmallow Toasting.

For guests who are passionate about sustainability, the innovative Art of Trash workshops combine creativity with sustainability as debris and driftwood from the shore are turned into stunning sculptures. From Q2 2023, guests can also visit the Shark Nursery, a dedicated marine sanctuary that connects all ages with the Andaman Sea’s threatened bamboo sharks. Join the fully trained team of conservationists and find out how they nurture the sharks, from the incubation of eggs to the time of release.
