After an intense and exhilarating 48 hours at BodyHoliday, we shifted gears with a short 30-minute coastal transfer to its sister hotel, StolenTime. Set amidst two miles of golden beachfront, StolenTime feels like a paradise lost, reminiscent of a lush garden straight out of Eden. This adults-only sanctuary is all about slowing down, focusing on mental and physical well-being, and embracing a gentle, unhurried pace of life.
The resort offers a variety of accommodation options, catering to different tastes and budgets. We were first shown the cosy twin-for-sole-use rooms near the reception, perfect for solo travellers with no single supplement charges. Though compact, these rooms feature a comfortable double bed and charming views over the bay. However, the real standouts are the beachfront cottages and the deluxe poolside rooms with ocean views, which offer a luxurious, yet relaxed, island experience.
Dining at StolenTime is a sensory experience in itself, designed to strike a balance between indulgence and healthy living. From the toes-in-the-sand Malabar Beach Club to the elegant service at Thyme, there’s a setting for every mood. The Terrace offers all-day dining with a laid-back vibe, while the Champagne Bar brings a touch of old-world glamour to the evening. Whether you’re in the mood for casual bites or a refined meal, the focus is on fresh, flavourful cuisine that nourishes both body and soul.
Activities at StolenTime are as laid-back or energising as you wish them to be. The resort offers a wide array of land and water sports, from morning Beach Fit Circuits to yoga, aqua aerobics, and meditation. You can take to the water with paddleboards, kayaks, and Hobie cats, or try your hand at water skiing or wakeboarding. With everything included in the price, you can participate at your own pace, free from any pressure to “join in.”
The Spa in the Water Garden offers a serene escape for those seeking deeper relaxation. Unlike BodyHoliday, spa treatments are not included, but the wellness options here are plentiful and luxurious. Surrounded by a tranquil water garden and lazy river, the spa offers everything from manicures and pedicures to Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massages. It’s the perfect spot to unwind, recharge, and indulge in the luxury of time well spent.
