Golf, tennis and a children's village of its own
The 9-hole championship course runs through pine woodland along the cliffs. Its best-known hole is the par 3 sixth, whose championship tee, the Devil's Parlour, is played across a ravine and demands a carry of around 197 metres. A golf academy with PGA professionals, the Annabel Croft Tennis Academy with five outdoor courts and the roughly 7,000 sqm Porto Pirata children's village round out the offer.
