Where Privacy Meets Community
The layout encourages family time and friendly connection in equal measure.
A central meadow that brings people together
All lodges are clustered around a large central meadow. It’s often the park’s social heartbeat—where kids start a game of football and families linger for spontaneous communal barbecues. Because everything is nearby, it’s easy for parents to keep an eye out while still enjoying downtime.
Dinners that fit your style
Evenings at the Table d’Hôtes bring families together at long tables—kids are served first, so parents can help them settle before enjoying their meal and conversations. Prefer to dine privately? A separate family table will be arranged on request. In high season, the restaurant is open six evenings a week for dinner, and from 12:00 daily for lunch.
