Our cosy island resort features just 30 charming villas dotted by the shore or across the shimmering lagoon. Echoing the design of traditional thatched houses, our villas provide a sanctuary of organic luxury and rustic simplicity. Designed to create a relaxed environment, each villa combines earthy colour schemes with local handicrafts that complement, rather than compete with, the outside world. The elegant design and seamless integration with the natural landscape create a dreamy space for you to spend your days.
Gently rounded in design, our 10 Beach Villas are tucked away on shore, ensuring total seclusion and privacy. Fling your doors open to step onto a pristine white beach and gaze at uninterrupted views of the crystal clear waters beyond. White-washed walls contrast with the rich colours of hand-carved wooden furniture. A sweeping net canopy encircles a large king sized bed.
Our 20 Water Villas are poised over the island’s vast turquoise lagoon. A private deck allows direct access into the cool blue waters. Wake up to the music of the waves or spend balmy evenings stargazing from your private terrace. A king sized bed faces floor to ceiling windows, soaking the villa with gentle glow of the sun. A sunny bathroom features a stylish designer bathtub with a spectacular ocean view.
