Beach Lifestyle
The Perfect Base For You

Enveloped with a serene immense natural beauty across the entire 360 degrees, here you can enjoy walking in the beautiful scenic parks with your family or partner. Take in deep breaths of magnificent fresh air as you stroll on the emerald, green manicured lawns, and walk past waterfalls and fountains, all of which are surrounded by glorious trees, flowers, and bushes. Go to a welcoming cafe or open bar, which is designed with natural décor from our cultural heritage or scout out your favourite picnic areas where you will find natural, ecological wooden park furniture, including recliners, solo and family tables and chairs, and barbecue stations; shaded areas with tables and chairs for working on your laptop, or reading a newspaper or paperback.

Look for the welcoming hotspots for fishing, swimming, or boating; or the recreational areas which offer table tennis, first rate sports fields for baseball and basketball, a top-class golf course, high end tennis courts, a horse-riding school, a cycle lane, and a running/jogging track. Check out the children’s playgrounds which provide high level safety features and offer wonderful hand-crafted rides and interesting fun activities (some of which are designed for their development); and take in the action at the open-air music, dance, film, and theatre outlets.

Note: both adults and children can ride their bicycles on the cycle route to get to the parks, and if you opt to drive, then there are plenty of parking spaces.
