guests can also enjoy making the most of everything this spectacular hotel has to offer, unwind in our
LivingWell Health Club, with its fitness centre, pool, sauna, steam room and whirlpool. Or maybe the bride
and groom would like to soothe their nerves ahead of the big day with a relaxing treatment at ‘Schmoo by
the Sea’ spa, the bride and her party could also visit ‘Cove’ hairdressers, who specialise in wedding hair.
