Location

The beauty of the remote location of Bay of Many Coves Resort is that you have the best of both worlds – you can choose to spend a relaxing day at some of its luxury facilities, or, for those who are seeking a little adrenaline rush, book a wildlife or safari tour and let the adventure begin.
