The Sunrise Water Villa with Infinity Pool suits couples who want an overwater stay with morning views across the ocean.

Inside, there is a king bed and a bathroom with a bathtub, while personal butler service and 24-hour in-villa dining make it easy to spend more time at the villa.
The garden setting and direct access to the beach distinguish it from the resort’s overwater villas.
The Beach Villa with Private Pool is a good alternative for guests who prefer to stay on the island rather than over the water. The 200sqm villa is surrounded by tropical greenery and sits just steps from the beach. Its indoor lounge opens onto a private garden with a pool, while a shaded gazebo and beachfront dining cabana add more outdoor space.
