The spacious air-conditioned rooms feature en-suite bathrooms and some include four-poster beds, each with a patio offering garden views. Guests can choose between garden-view rooms or sea-view suites at the main resort or the sister property, The Beach Lounge, located 100 meters down the sand.

The resort operates two restaurants serving fusion cuisine that combines Swahili and Mediterranean flavors. Breakfast includes a daily fruit platter, cooked options, and a selection of fresh juices, while dinner offers a daily three-course special and an a la carte menu. Both restaurants provide views of the Indian Ocean, and guests can dine at either Mvuvi or The Beach Lounge as part of the half-board plan.
