The changes will mean “significant interior design updates” to the resort’s Seaside Suites and Verandah Suites including new bathrooms, room layouts and furniture and colours.

The renovation will also include the debut of a new beachside restaurant called Malabar.

“Rendezvous caters to discerning couples looking to reconnect and spend time together without any distractions, and we continually seek ways to support them in their endeavor in such a stressful world,” said Andrew Barnard, deputy managing director at SunSwept Resort. “We are confident that this renovation will uphold our commitment to provide the best services and accommodations to our guests.”

Malabar is set to debut in the fall of this year.
