Let the sound of the waves create a soothing backdrop, and take this time to simply be present and enjoy the serene atmosphere.

Later, you might opt for a final dip in the infinity pool, or a quiet walk along the secluded bay. If you're inclined, consider a visit to the resort's library or garden for a peaceful afternoon read.
