And upon seeing it, you will understand why. Pink-tinged sand and incredibly blue water will be enough to take your breath away.

Some of the most relaxing and peaceful moments can be had here with us on Crane Beach. Originally a port and harbour, Crane Beach has become the stamp of luxury and relaxation.  With the powerful yet playful waves, many guests enjoy bodysurfing as much as they enjoy lounging on the shore line whilst taking in the several shades of blue. Other awesome sports such as snorkeling, scuba diving, waterskiing, surfing, sailing, kayaking, fishing, and windsurfing are all fun options that are available and can be arranged through our friendly and knowledgeable Concierge team.

Your day cruise will have you gliding over the tranquil waters where you’ll have the chance to swim with turtles and snorkel over shipwrecks. A delicious lunch buffet and unlimited drinks await you after your swim. The sunset cruise adds a touch of romance with a swim with turtles followed by lounging on the deck and watching the beautiful sun set over the horizon. Appetizers and unlimited drinks get your evening started. Private charters can be arranged for any occasion you may have planned. Be it an anniversary, family gathering, proposal, or simply some peace and quiet, the water and the sun is yours on your own boat.
