Accommodations

Villas: Private Worlds, Weathered Charm

Ocean Panorama Pool Villas

These are the crown jewels, villas that stretch out into 150 sqm of breezy, lived-in space. Wide decks tilt towards infinity pools that flirt with the edge of the bay, gauzy curtains wander in the crosswind, and beds are dressed in organic cotton that makes an afternoon nap practically compulsory.

Bathrooms charm in their contradictions: an outdoor shower open to the trees, a deep tub strategically angled at sunrise. Nights are not silent by any stretch, with tropical nightlife of cicadas, croaking geckos, and the occasional sweep of wind take over. Call it nature’s own ASMR track.

Other Options

• Hideaway Pool Villas – jungle wrapped, utterly secluded, but minus the drama of ocean views.
• Ocean Deluxe Pool Villas – same charm, dialled up a notch in elevation.
• Beachfront Suites – doors opening straight onto sand; the family option.
• The View – a one-bedroom stage set for panoramas and sundown martinis.
• The Reserve – four bedrooms, private chef, all yours-to-command as your personal island bolthole.

Facilities: Curated, Not Crammed

• The Hilltop Pool – the Instagram star, perched above the bay. At sunrise it feels unearthly, a water stage mirroring cliffs in pink light.
• Spa Village – think forest salas, herbal compresses, yoga at dawn. Treatments resist the cookie-cutter spa menu.
• Dining – kitchen gardens drive the menu; mushrooms grown on site, eggs fetched from clucking hens almost within earshot.
• Cinema Paradiso – films outdoors by a lily pond. Popcorn as standard, cocktails optional.
• Sustainability – bottled water in glass, compost systems humming quietly in the background, a farm that produces more than token herbs. It reads like a manifesto, not marketing copy.

💡 Insider Tip: Book yourself a private sunrise breakfast at the Hilltop. A rare slot, and worth the subtle bragging rights.

Service: Seamless, Without Swagger

Each villa is paired with a GEM (Guest Experience Maker). “Butler” in any other language-yet far less stiff. The good ones anticipate before you do or say: your bike is prepped before you remember you fancied exploring; an umbrella is foisted into your hand before the rain hits, along with a tip about how local tides predict the downpour.

The resort atmosphere leans more jungle hamlet than concrete tower. Pathways are uneven, plants encroach, and that seems the point. The resort is deliberately unvarnished, yet choreographed enough never to stumble.
