OMG get up at 6am? Yes, if you want to sample the private early morning bird walks. And it’s so worth the effort. The mist rising over the various tanks (pools) that surround the hotel is a scene made for Instagram. Make sure you book with reception at least a day before.
The hotel has its own stables. These are some seriously pampered horses who are only too willing to provide a different perspective as you canter around the local villages.
