Warm wood and rattan are juxtaposed with exuberant patterns (think scalloped headboards), and swaths of mirror and brass, eliciting a glamorous but grounded ambiance. At the centerpiece is the rooftop pool club. Here, guests sprawl out on copious pillow-thronged loungers and sip on clarified piña coladas.

Hotels Own Introduction
A Waterfront Escape with Its Own Rhythm
There is a moment, somewhere between the second coffee of the morning and the first swim of the day, when everything slows down and the time feels entirely your own. That is the spirit of Rox. Set beside the water, the hotel brings together 156 rooms, three heated pools, two restaurants, and a vibrant cocktail bar, all framed by uninterrupted sea views. The water is warm, the rooftop is alive with energy, and the rest of the world can wait.
Designed for Relaxation and Connection
Days unfold at an effortless pace, whether spent beside one of the heated pools, in the sauna, or at the gym. A full menu is served directly to your sunbed, while rooftop yoga sessions offer a serene start to the morning. As the day progresses, DJs set the soundtrack for relaxed afternoons that seamlessly transition into lively evenings. Guests and visitors alike can enjoy the atmosphere, with day passes available for those not staying overnight.
Bold Dining Experiences
Dining at Rox is centred around gathering and great food. Long-table dinners in the garden encourage connection, while late-night conversations continue at Birdcage. At Smith, the culinary approach is confident and uncomplicated, showcasing exceptional ingredients through raw delicacies, generous steakhouse favourites, and thoughtfully crafted dishes. The focus is simple: quality, flavour, and precision.
Rooms with a View
Of the hotel’s 156 rooms, 114 enjoy direct ocean views, while 168 private balconies bring guests even closer to the water. Six spacious suites offer an elevated experience, but every accommodation shares the same design philosophy: clean, masculine lines softened by refined finishes, blending Western architecture with subtle Asian influences. Flexible room configurations and thoughtful details ensure comfort for every style of traveller.
The Energy of The Pool Club
As the sun begins to set, the atmosphere shifts. The Pool Club comes alive with laid-back beats, conversation, and the gentle soundtrack of glasses clinking beside the water. From relaxed afternoons spent barefoot by the pool to vibrant evenings that stretch long into the night, it is a place where music, ocean views, and effortless social energy come together in perfect balance.
