Escape to Maggie’s hidden paradise — Picnic Bay.

This is a place where you can squeeze sand between your toes. Feel the breeze in your hair. Dip in the sea. And lose a sense of time as you watch the sun sink into the horizon at dusk.

At the Picnic Bay Hotel, you can slow down and relax as you reconnect with yourself, your loved ones, and the beauty of nature. You don’t have to take our word for it … just take in these pictures…
