Raffles Manor Suite

The corner is the whole idea. The living room has windows on two elevations, so it is lit at every hour of the day, and the bedroom opens off it rather than being part of it — which is the step that makes a suite a suite. A long cream sofa, a glass-topped table on a deep blue Persian carpet, planter's chairs, and the garden and the water on both sides.

You wake to birds, which on an island this size is not a figure of speech. There is a private balcony, a walk-in wardrobe, and the suite comes with in-room breakfast and a bottle of wine with compliments. Two guests and a child.
