Our hotel remains open and we are here to welcome you for any business-related stay. Our restaurants and bars are closed, however you can enjoy in-room dining throughout your stay.
Exclusive use
The entire venue can be yours for your big day with our exclusive use option. Your family and friends can truly make themselves at home in each of the 53 rooms and suites and enjoy each of the unique hotel spaces in peaceful seclusion. You'll receive a host of complimentary extras too, including valet services, music, a dedicated planner and a suite for the bride and groom. We will also assist in any styling themes you'd like to incorporate throughout.
With the whole place to yourself you and your guests can relax at leisure - some may like to start the day with a golf excursion while the bridal party enjoy a Champagne breakfast and have hair and makeup done in preparation for the ceremony to follow.

We always tailor each wedding so that it's a truly unique event that reflects your personal tastes and preferences. Licensed for civil ceremonies, the light and airy Pavilion surrounded by palm trees and flowers comfortably accommodate up to 100 wedding guests. Located near to the pool, it's an ideal space for your celebration.
