Royal Pavilion Pool Villa

The distance is the point: 10 villas, set apart from the fort on their own compound, adults only, and the nearest other building is the one next door. Inside, the interior goes darker and quieter than the resort's: black coffered beams with a pierced star panel let into the ceiling, a single lantern hanging from it, plaster niches lit from within and holding old brass coffee pots, and a pair of bronze hooded falcons on plinths flanking the double doors through to the bedroom. It is the most deliberately composed interior on the property.

Outside there is a pool with two urns on plinths at the far corners and a low wall, and past the wall there is sand to the horizon in 3 directions. King bed, an indoor and an outdoor shower, a sundeck, and a villa host who brings the drinks out. The villa takes 3 adults at the ceiling and no children at any point, which is the one genuine restriction here and is the reason people book it.
