Stick your toes in the sand while sipping on tropical cocktails and snacking on light fair with beachside service from The Beach Club. Sip on a glass of complimentary wine on the beach at sunset before heading back up to Mora Mora for a gourmet, candlelit dinner. After dinner, head back down to the beach on a guided turtle tour in search of giant sea turtles nesting along the beach or the hatchlings make their journey out to sea.
