Dian Bay Resort
Hotel Information: Restricted to guests aged 16 or older, the locally owned-and-operated Dian Bay Resort attracts couples seeking restful holidays. Public by law, the two beaches used by guests are effectively private due to isolation. Grounds are thickly planted with palm trees and flowering gardens. There are no group activities other than power walks on request to Devil's Bridge.
Note: Because of stairways to the pools, beach, and restaurant, this hillside resort is not suitable for people with physical disabilities.
Amenity highlights: Dian Bay Resort stands on a terraced hillside above a narrow turquoise bay of the Atlantic Ocean. Two peninsulas form the nearly enclosed bay, protecting it from ocean swells. A small beach is at the base of the hill. Upon request, the hotel also provides complimentary motor-skiff transport to picturesque Lover's Beach across the bay. A three-level complex comprising three freeform pools is terraced into the hotel’s hillside.
Insider tip: Located on the ocean side of a narrow peninsula across the bay, the Devil's Bridge limestone arch is a prime island attraction. Swells spouting through blowholes can be seen from the resort. By road, Devil's Bridge is 2.25 km (1.5 mi) away. But guests may request complimentary motor-skiff transport that takes less than a minute.
Guests may book either an All-Inclusive plan or a Room-Only (European) plan. The All-Inclusive plan includes basic spa treatments (7-night minimum stay), meals, drinks, taxes, and gratuities. The Room-Only (European) plan does NOT include basic spa treatments, meals, drinks, taxes, and gratuities. (Scroll up to the All-Inclusive Plan Details section for more information.)
