From planting trees in celebration of nature’s renewal, beside the Manta Ray Tree House, to a treasure hunt in the lagoon and a family Easter dinner overlooking linen white sands, you will find something for everyone in your family to enjoy throughout your stay.

Your children will be spoilt for choice on how to spend each day. With hide-and-seek egg hunts, magic shows, classes on cooking up cinnamon roll Easter bunnies and more, they will never face a dull moment. While older children will delight in the diverse sports, water activities and Easter-themed crafts available.

Meanwhile, you can indulge in the more sophisticated amusements on offer as you celebrate the escape you so deserve. Slip away to a gin tasting session with Joali’s Master Sommelier or learn to cook exquisite holiday dishes with the resort’s expert chefs. Treat yourself to a pampering session at Joali Spa by ESPA.

Besides helping you prepare for your trip, it will also give you peace of mind when booking.
