Four-Bedroom Garden Villa

There are 2 of these, on plots of 3,200 square metres each. The argument for a Garden villa is proximity: they stand among the coconut palms rather than out at the tip of the peninsula, so the pool, the beach, the restaurants and the wellness centre are all a short walk away, and they cost materially less.

The plan gathers free-standing pavilions round a wide terrace with the swimming pool at its centre, and outdoor lounging and dining on the same deck. Inside, 4 king bedrooms mean 4 couples or 2 families can share without anybody sleeping in a living room. A private chef, a housekeeper, and the resort 10 minutes' walk away.
