As Linda and I share a passion for discovery she usually gifts an experience as a birthday present, something we can do together and mostly something we haven't tried before. This year was no exception, she treated me to an Afternoon Tea experience at the Pura Beach Eco Retreat, where none of us had been yet and this week it was time to make it happen.
It situated in a very pretty location, on Jubail Island, in a protected area in the middle of the mangrove forest there. You have to park up at the visitors center and then you get driven in a buggy the last three kilometers out to the resort itself, which really makes you feel disconnected from the hustle and bustle of the city, even though it's just visible on the horizon.
The set-up was stunning, we were sat amongst these floating curtains, just on the edge of the mangroves.
We were the only ones there this afternoon, so nice and private; but I lacked some ambiance and buzz, that having other people there would have brought.
We still enjoyed our Afternoon Tea set up, of course. Especially since it came with unlimited mocktails as well as coffee and tea, nice touch!
It was lovely to sit here and see the sun set over the mangroves, utterly beautiful!
Thank you Linda for a very enjoyable birthday treat!
