This is where an all-inclusive resort really pays off. There are six excellent restaurants to fill-up on, five of which are included in your package. Starting from 7am there are two family-friendly buffets, Ranba and Ranlu, which stretch to lunch and dinner with everything you can think of from east to west, from spicy curries to fresh sushi, pastas, pizzas and burgers. For dinner, there’s the relaxed open-air and sand-in-your-toes beach grill Ginifatu where it’s all about fresh seafood and the catch of the day served with a range salads and sides.

On the fine-dining spectrum there’s Ambula, which takes on a Sri Lankan tasting menu and Haathi, which seats only 10 guests and rotates between Bangkok and Japanese set menus, and has a chef's table vibe. Baani, the overwater Middle Eastern restaurant,  is available only to Ocean Suite guests (other guests can book a table at $100 [£77] a head). There are also four bars dotted around the island. There’s a sky bar with double-height views across the ocean, a poolside bar, and a rum bar. And, like the restaurants, there’s a bar exclusively for Ocean Suite guests – and the same rule applies – other guests join for $100 (£77) a head.
