FacilitiesNature is a huge part of Castara’s appeal and the hotel is set in two acres of tropical gardens which offer excellent opportunities for bird and wildlife watching. The beach is just a few minutes’ walk away down a winding footpath and is a great spot for swimming, sunbathing or just getting to know the friendly locals. Castara Bay has a wonderful reef, teeming with life and colour, and the snorkelling here is particularly enjoyable.
