The rooms
Austral Suites sit at the water's edge with private plunge pools, clawfoot tubs, and four-poster beds dressed in white linens.

Two freshwater pools sit surrounded by coconut palms, including a main pool heated to 28 degrees Celsius.
Hammam and baths
A traditional hammam and wooden soaking tub sit tucked behind volcanic stone walls in the spa garden.
