THE LOCATION

of a nature reserve, Halcyon Palms couldn’t be more perfectly situated.

unspoilt landscape where visitors can enjoy
walking or cycling the paths which criss-cross
this beautiful terrain. Encounter eagles, turtles,
deer and otters – just a few local wildlife
species living naturally on the reserve.
