From an award-winning dining experience to a blissful full moon yoga and exquisite beach cabana treatments, the pristine location promises an exceptional encounter and unparalleled service during the balmy summer season. Guests are invited to relish artfully crafted dishes made with the finest barrel aged maple syrup at Lexington Grill, or be transcended on a gastronomical Japanese journey with a 3-course set menu at UMI.
