The property houses seven restaurants and five pools. You should head to Chulha to savour traditional Indian flavours. The Dining Room offers five cuisines, and The Verandah serves up the finest Italian dishes. For some innovative cocktails, head to the Bay View Lounge where the windows open to views of an infinity pool. The luxurious, spacious, and modern 300-plus rooms and suites come with attached balconies. The Presidential Suite offers a marble bathroom with a walk-in shower and an outdoor jacuzzi; you also get a private kitchen and a personal butler.
