This harmonious integration of local flora contributes to the preservation of indigenous biodiversity and serves as a testament to the resort's unwavering dedication to nature.

Additional Information
Beach Bliss
You’ll be able to enjoy The Danai's private golden beach to its full potential with the hotel’s excellent amenities along the sands. To start with, the Beach Reception saves you from making trips to the front desk, allowing you to make any dining arrangements or organise activities just a stroll from your lounger – of course, for a more luxe option, you could also reserve a double day bed, or one of the beach cabanas complete with a sofa lounge. The Royal Beach Cabana steps up another level, with a swinging bed, lunch area and shower along it’s own private stretch of sand.
When you’re ready to have some fun, simply stroll down to the water sports centre, where you can take out your choice of equipment, such as kayaks, sea bobs, stand-up paddle boards, water-skis and more. If you’d rather unwind on the sands, you can arrange an outdoor spa treatment along the beachside, where you can relax with the sounds of the waves lapping the shore. Finally, why not round off your perfect day on the beach with a romantic private dinner on the waterfront under the stars?

The Danai is a wonderful destination for families. Children can enjoy days of fun at the Kids Club, where they can get artistic, explore nature, learn new skills and meet new friends. You can also arrange language, painting or swimming lessons, or book private babysitting. You’ll also find kids menus in the restaurants, plus beach amenities especially for children.
