The bar is designed with Portuguese tiles, natural interiors and pure African elegance, and overlooked by a beach-facing pool with breath-taking views of the Indian Ocean. Peri-Peri Beach Club was built from the ground up which involved redeveloping the entire infrastructure and creating new facilities including a bar, new kitchen, pizza oven, lounging pavilions and raised sala areas – similar to those in each of the 20 villas.
