This all (plunge) pool villa island offers a stunning choice of contemporary accommodation. For those who want that quintessential beach-lover experience, the Beach Villas and Double Storey Beach Villas are perfection personified. The clever use of natural wood and a neutral palate of colours ensure the perfect blend with the outside world, whilst all the creature comforts expected can be found. Your own private plunge pool to play in is set over looking the soft sands. From the island nearly a kilometre long jetty weaves through the ocean punctuated by the thatched roofs of the Water Villas set on stilts over the impossibly blue Indian Ocean. Not only do these beautiful villas boast open plan sleeping and living space, you have your own private deck for lazy days complete with steps which descend into the warm waters below and a private plunge pool for when even the effort of leaving the comfort of your villa becomes just a little too overwhelming!

For rustic elegance and a romantic ‘sand-between-your-toes’ dining experience head to Jahaz – a fabulous space open for breakfast, lunch and dinner or Meeru, a relaxed beach-grill open for evening dining. Jing combines a heady blend of Asian spices, stunning views and an effortlessly romantic atmosphere as you dine by candle light over the waters of the lagoon.

Expect the ultimate in tranquillity and relaxation at the overwater U Spa by Constance, all treatment rooms have those hypnotic water views, whilst for those who care to indulge in more energetic past times, pedal boats, windsurfing and kayaking are al available. There is a sublime main pool so even if you book a Water Villa you can still enjoy a ‘day at the beach’ if the desire takes you.
