If you get peckish head over to the chef’s garden, where the restaurant’s produce originates. You’re encouraged to sample the delicious ingredients as you walk through the lush green gardens.

When hunger arrives, head to one of the three restaurants, or pop over to the deli for cheese, snacks and dessert. Then, if you’re so inclined, you can head over to the famed Shisha lounge where you can sample countless flavours of tobacco.
