Sunset

Built above the crystal-blue lagoon, away from the main island, this large one-bedroom villa is all about privacy and seclusion. An expansive sundeck and infinity pool are the front-row seats for the vibrant colours of the setting sun.
Beach

A secluded hideaway set apart from neighbouring villas, with sweeping ocean views and golden sunsets over the water. Two elegant bedrooms, matched in size and design, share a private sundeck and plunge pool, making it ideal for friends and family travelling together. The beach is right on the doorstep, with direct access to the thriving house reef just steps away, where colourful marine life and turtles await.
Beach

Wake to soft morning light and step straight out onto your own stretch of expansive beach, with powdery white sand just beyond your sundeck. Spread out across a generous deck with a spacious private pool, then unwind your way: under the outdoor rain shower, in the indoor shower, or soaking in the freestanding bathtub.
