Accommodation

With eight different room categories, there's something to match everyone, whether travelling as a couple, family or group of friends. For couples, we recommend the Romantic or Temptation Pool Water Villas which feature an outdoor deck with infinity plunge pool, sun bed, swing and direct access to the lagoon. For families, we recommend the Two bedroom Beach Pavilions and Family Lagoon Pavilions with private beach terraces. For extra luxury, we recommend the LUX* Villa - at the tip of the jetty has unobstructed views, floor-to-ceiling glass panes and see-through glass floors and comes with a butler, and private buggy service.

Restaurants

Guests are spoilt for choice with eight restaurants, so you could dine at a different place each night of the week. Favourites include Senses, serving boat-fresh seafood by the pool, and East Market, where it’s all about fiery south-east Asian favours in a street food-style setting.

Children

The Kids’ Club features a whole host of exciting and educational activities with a focus on the surrounding natural habitat, as well as a range of high-energy sports. The Teens’ Club offers loads of activities including local dance and language classes, beach sports activities and adventure trips around the island.
