LAGOONS FOR EVERY VIBE 

With over 275,000 square feet of freshwater fun, Calypso Lagoon and Starfish Lagoon are the largest in the Caribbean. Adults can chill at Calypso’s DJ Island and swim-up bar, while families splash and play at Starfish Lagoon’s kid-friendly zones. 

 

SUPER VILLAS = SUPER RELAXATION 

Want the ultimate VIP experience? Book an Over-the-Lagoon Super Villa—perfect for groups of 10. These luxe retreats come with hammocks, swing chairs, stocked fridges, private sun shelves, and even a slide into the lagoon. Choose from family-friendly or adults-only options! 

 

PEARL COVE BEACH CLUB BLISS 

For guests 18+, Pearl Cove Beach Club is a dreamy escape with a private infinity pool, pink-striped umbrellas, and a full-service restaurant. Whether you’re sipping cocktails at the swim-up bar or lounging beachside with food and drink service, this is paradise perfected.
