Martini's
The lounge known as Martinis is far more than a place to sip a signature cocktail — although its namesake libation alone is reason enough to spend some time here. In fact, Martinis is refreshing its namesake cocktail with fresh new spirits selection, Mermaid gin and vodka. The bar is a glamorous destination that welcomes you to a warm, inviting setting amidst walls of shimmering glass under a canopy of crystal. You’ll also be able to choose from a tantalizing new collection of drinks called Hollywood Martinis, in addition to the already popular selection shaken tableside. The Hollywood collection includes a variety of drinks inspired by the Old Hollywood, such as Bardot Martini, The Corleone Martini, Sir Connery Martini, Blue Eyes Sinatra and Monroe Martini. Simply gather with friends in your favorite alcove and let the memories be made.
Grand Lounge
Allura’s provocative Grand Lounge plays with shape and form to create visual elements that are striking even as they are understated. The color palette is an ode to metals and minerals with shades of bronze, onyx and alabaster lending both balance and interest. The resulting space evokes exclusivity — the feel of a luxurious private club — inviting guests to relax and enjoy an aperitif before dinner or a nightcap before retiring as they relive the day’s adventures with fellow explorers.
Horizons
The most distinctive feature of aptly named Horizons is the lounge’s dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows, offering 180 degrees of stunning views that hint at the adventures to come. This space celebrates the essence of Allura by showcasing the magical call of that which lies beyond the horizon.
To ensure that you can fully appreciate these tantalizing panoramas with a relaxed familiarity, Horizons is appointed with comfortable residential furnishings in soothing tones that create a sense of home, even as the view assures you that you are far from it. Dance the night away to the sounds of a lively musical group and toast to the adventures ahead.
Waves Bar
Located in a shaded area just steps from the swimming pool, Waves Bar offers a wide variety of libations to enhance your poolside experience. Revel in the perfect afternoon on deck with your favorite cocktail, glass of wine or chilled beer. Come happy hour, signature cocktails and frosty beverages create a delightfully carefree segue to the lively evening ahead as the sun sets.

Library
A STATELY RESPITE
Evoking a cherished den in a modern equestrian estate home, the Library is a guest favorite, so special care was taken to ensure it exudes tranquility and a sense of belonging. Glass walls offer views of serene seascapes, but the greatest comfort may be found within the Library’s inner sanctum. The aesthetic speaks to a time when the written word was our window to the world and earned pride of place in an atmosphere of effortless comfort. It is the perfect place to curl up with a novel or simply indulge in a nap in one of the sumptuous chairs.

Martini’s
The lounge known as Martinis is far more than a place to sip a signature cocktail — although its namesake libation alone is reason enough to spend some time here. In fact, Martinis is refreshing its namesake cocktail with fresh new spirits selection, Mermaid gin and vodka. The bar is a glamorous destination that welcomes you to a warm, inviting setting amidst walls of shimmering glass under a canopy of crystal. You’ll also be able to choose from a tantalizing new collection of drinks called Hollywood Martinis, in addition to the already popular selection shaken tableside.
