Amarante Garden Palms

Unpretentious property, deceivingly larger than it first appears with 2 separate swimming pool areas and attractive gardens. Although it’s not on the beach, the Naama Bay front is relatively close with the entertainment area more easily reached by a short taxi journey.

With a choice of board arrangements, this is a suitable choice for families with children of all ages and those looking to be close to the nightlife but away from the noise.

Exterior

A long drive breaks from the main road and reaches through attractive gardens to the main gate house which in turn is surrounded by well tended flower gardens. The driveway breaks into a semicircular set down area beneath the triple height portico supported on broad columns.

Along the ground-floor level of the 2-storey main building there are a few shops and entrance into the bar. The main entrance itself has a floor-to-ceiling glass facade.
