The resort
A wedding uses a choice of the resort's settings alongside its guests, with wider exclusivity by arrangement. The scale of the grounds and the on site villas mean a celebration can spread across a welcome gathering, the wedding day and a farewell, with much of the party staying on the cliffs throughout.
