At Layana Resort and Spa the welcoming is just the beginning; flower blossoms threaded into a necklace of exotic tropical aromas, scented hand towels, and a personal greeting from owners Bob and Margie Guthrie. It is no wonder that your start to total relaxation begins immediately. As the day turns to dusk, the sun performs its evening ritual, lighting the sky in a splendour of colour. The sea acknowledges its presence as each wave washes ashore. The table is set for a feast on the beach. Local fire twirlers send you off to imaginary worlds. The atmosphere is exotic, elegant and magical.
