Breakfast, lunch and dinner, or just hanging out for drinks in the late afternoon and evening, takes place at Saline. The Mediterranean inspired menu is designed to energize guests for a busy day of activities, or to relax at day’s end with low alcohol cocktails so you wake in the morning refreshed and ready for new adventures. Poolside spritzers and backgammon games in your double daybed are the perfect recipe for a tranquil stay. Walk two minutes and the staff will set you up oceanside at beautiful Shaw’s Cove. Here you can also take advantage of the snorkelling, surfing and kayaking options available at the Adventure Outpost. Take a city bike for a ride, or jump in the passenger seat of a 90’s Land Rover to start your trek up Laguna’s Top of the World trail, eventually reaching the summit on foot. It is all designed to allow guests to renew and get plugged back into what’s most important.
