Garden Pool Pavilion

The step from 115 square metres to 147 is entirely outdoors, and it changes a stay here more than any other step on the list. You get a walled courtyard with a pool cut into it, a lounging sala, a dining terrace and a sun deck, all of it closed in by planting so that nothing overlooks it. This is the grade for people who intend to leave the pavilion twice a day.

There is no sea from here, and nobody claims otherwise. Inside, sliding doors flood the room with light and the 50 square metres are unchanged: king bed, teak panelling, twin vanities, deep soaking tub. It sleeps 3.
