Silky, smooth, and oh-so-dreamy, this panna cotta is anything but ordinary. It\u2019s topped with a golden apricot-rooibos jelly<\/strong>, bursts of fresh berries<\/strong>, a crisp meringue crunch<\/strong>, and a coconut crumb<\/strong> that ties it all together. It\u2019s sunshine on a plate, with just the right balance of sweetness, tang, and texture.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the kind of dessert that makes you slow down, savour every spoonful, and maybe even consider skipping mains just to get to it faster. Available across Lords Bar, Destination Lounge & Bar, and room service<\/strong>, it\u2019s perfect for anyone who believes a little indulgence is the secret ingredient to happiness.<\/p>\n
