The in-house Hi-Tide Dive Center provides PADI-certified courses, including Deep Diver and Night Diver specialties, with access to over two dozen dive sites such as the vibrant house reef just meters from shore. Guests can kayak, paddleboard, or embark on a 20-minute jungle trek to Sea Gypsy Village, while the 360-degree Beach Bar serves cocktails and Western-Asian fusion meals, including a famous Saturday BBQ featuring grilled snapper and lamb. Boat transfers depart from Tanjung Leman Jetty, a two-hour drive from Johor Bahru.

Seaview chalets feature private balconies and direct beach access, with options for families or groups in interconnected rooms.
