The wellness-boosting treatments in the small spa – featuring ethical products, of course – are a tonic for the soul. Opt for one of the soothing massage rituals, performed by expertly trained Balinese therapists.

The state-of-the-art gym, open from early until evening time, has glass walls making every workout a visual treat. Otherwise, you can play volleyball on the beach, go dune sliding or, for a gentle workout with an eco edge, you could opt for a ramble through the grounds with the resident bird expert.

Trips to explore the shipwrecks on Great Basses Reef just south of the resort, for qualified divers only, can be arranged.

Head to the beach area where Aussie-trained lifeguards oversee a range of watery activities such as jet skiing, snorkelling, kayaking, body surfing, windsurfing and kite surfing.

Jetwing Yala is home to the largest solar installation of any of the island’s hotels, which supplies over 35% of its daily electricity needs. In this remote part of Sri Lanka’s dry zone, there’s a reverse osmosis plant to turn seawater into fresh water for all uses. As an example of its commitment to local sourcing, it buys fresh buffalo milk from local farmers to make its Sri Lankan curd. In partnership with the Department of Wildlife Conservation, they’ve set up an on-site turtle hatchery.

Compulsory Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve gala dinners, supplements apply.
