Hotel information

This elegant and refined oasis, set in 500 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, offers the ultimate in sophisticated relaxation.
The resort is architecturally inspired by the grand palazzos of Italy - so you'll find lots of marble floors, crystal chandeliers and opulent furnishings to make your stay special. Each of the sumptuous bedrooms has a 5ft balcony with panoramic views over the lake, pool and gardens! The resort facilities are second to none! The combination of a 40,000sq-ft spa for pampering treatments, a fantastic Ritz-Kids programme, tennis, pool and 18-hole Greg Norman-designed golf course are sure to keep the whole family entertained!
