A haven of luxury This haven stretches unbroken for some eight kilometres in both directions and borders a lagoon so clear that from the shore you can see the myriad of fish that seek sanctuary there. Here, guests are assured of unrivalled safe snorkelling and kayaking at all tides and there are no large hotels nearby so the beach is virtually your own. The authentic Polynesian-styled villas include kitchen and covered deck, as well as an en suite bathroom in which awaits a spa bath built for two, shower, bidet and Italian tiles that spell pampering with a capital 'P'. An idyllic backdrop for weddings, honeymoons, getaways and anniversaries— with a private chef available to make that special breakfast or dinner—this romantic hideaway is designed for couples of all ages seeking extra special attention. This boutique property (of only 10 villas) boasts immaculate tropical grounds. Rock pools and f lowering lily ponds shaded by towering palms, breadfruit trees and exotic hibiscus feature throughout this nature lover's paradise. If strolling too far from your accommodation seems an effort, enjoy the freshwater swimming pool, lounge around in a hammock, and try to do less than you did yesterday. It all adds up to a holiday experience in a Garden of Eden.
