There are 67 villas and suites available to guests, each one offering a level of comfort and luxury that is hard to find elsewhere. Ocean pool and over-water bungalows have been created to blend into the surroundings while providing home-from-home comforts and a high degree of privacy. Each bungalow has been designed with hardwood flooring and décor inspired by the island and ocean.
Fine linen bedding and air conditioning ensure a good night’s sleep even on the warmest of nights, and the mini bar contains a selection of refreshing drinks. Every bungalow offers its occupants unobstructed views of the jewel-blue water and undulating waves through floor-to-ceiling glass doors, and this view can also be experienced from a private veranda. Other features include high-speed internet access, flat-screen TV and DVD player, and tea and coffee making facilities.
