The private villas are metres from the ocean and discreetly situated among the exotic gardens. The main area provides a well-stocked bar, informal and comfortable lounge area, and a restaurant that extends onto the beach. There is a sociable communal area ideal for a game of billiards, relaxed conversation, or a romantic dinner, depending on the occasion.
