One-Bedroom DoublePool Villa

The figure for this grade is the plot, not the floor: this is a compound, not a room. Inside its wall are separate pavilions set about a lawn — a bedroom that stands in its own shallow wading pool and is glazed on every side, a living and dining pavilion with a full kitchen behind it, a garden with a steam room in it, and a 15-metre infinity pool running along the edge nearest the water. From the bed you are looking across water in two directions.

There are 26 of these compounds, occupying a corner of the estate that has nothing else in it, which is why the grade is sold on romance and seclusion, with a personal host included. The hamlet has its own restaurant, TRE, and its own rituals — a bale-juice welcome, a herbal bath, a coconut boat brought round the garden, a Thai coffee vendor. One king, 2 guests — a walled 1,300 square metres for the two of you, which is the thing to take in before booking.
