Sip cocktails in the treetops at Ambar, then ride the funicular down to Niri Beach Club for wood-fired, toes-in-the-sand dining. Accessible by a suspended bridge and garden paths, the Nimbu Spa — home to Latin America’s largest hydrotherapy pool — immerses you in nature, while the surrounding Palmares Preserve offers zip-lining, sailing and championship golf.
