Inside the Hotel

Let us take you to a place where membership’s a smiling face. Immortalised by a scantily clad George Michael and a sax-tooting Andrew Ridgeley in Wham!’s iconic video for Club Tropicana, our sparkling swimming pool has always been the heart and soul of Pikes.

Dip your toe in or dive into the deep end and swim up to the best seats in the house – submerged in the pool and conveniently in eye-line with the bar. Surrounded by oversized daybeds on multi levelled terraces, presided over by a giant red crocodile, and featuring shaded chill-out corners plus a DJ booth in poolside pride of place, we welcome you to wonderland…

Anyone for tennis? Or any other game that take your fancy on our famous hot pink court, for that matter? Singles, doubles, mixed doubles – even triples if it takes your fancy! All are welcome here. Hire rackets from reception and join the ranks of Freddie Mercury, who would proudly don his tennis whites back in the day, although legend has it that he was rubbish at the game itself. New balls please!

We can arrange private tennis lessons if your skills are anything like Freddie’s, or if you simply want to brush up on your game while you’re staying with us. We can also utilise the court for all types of festivities: open-air cinema, our literary festival, weddings, market stalls, personal training – if you can dream it up, we can make it happen. Game, set, match.

The fairy tale gardens at Pikes set the scene for some of our guests’ best adventures. Take a stroll around the grounds and you’ll find chill-out corners aplenty, blossoming hibiscus flowers, swishing pampas grass, blooming bougainvillea, fragrant lavender and all kinds of succulents. Ancient olive trees sit alongside towering palms and eucalyptus trees, with pretty paved pathways leading you through to different areas of the hotel.

Keep your eye out for our flock of sheep, take in our open-air art collection – a whimsical series of illustrations by artist Rory Dobner painted on the hotel walls and incredible Diana Gomez portraits in striking lightboxes – and be sure to be nice to our family of felines along the way. You never know who you’ll bump into down the garden path at Pikes.

Pikes may be famous all around the world for its party atmosphere but we’re also aware that you’re on holiday to relax and pamper yourself. That’s why we’re pioneering our Rockovery services.

Maybe you’ve had a heavy night, need a bit of a hand dealing with the morning after, or maybe you just want to carry on your usual yoga routines – our concierge service are able to organise pretty much anything you like.

You can also book some tennis coaching, personal training, numerology, healing therapies, a selection of massage styles, pilates, yoga or energise your body’s natural healing and detoxification systems.
