As soon as you enter this exquisite resort’s beautifully landscaped gardens, which are dotted with Indonesian sculptures and water features, you’ll feel a wave of ‘zen’-like calm wash over you. The understated yet elegant architectural style of stone, wood and thatch reflects the resort’s unspoilt natural setting and its unique blend of African and Asian cultures. The service is truly outstanding and the discreet staff go above and beyond to accommodate your every need.

Follow winding paths to the beautiful infinity pool and step from the sundeck onto the small white-sand beach that edges a protected marine park. The resort’s unique ‘Touching the Senses’ programme offers you a host of enriching experiences, including star-gazing, cooking classes, wine-tasting, painting classes and nature walks. The thatch-roofed restaurant offers panoramic ocean views and a tempting selection of European, Asian and Creole dishes. Feel the warm sand between your toes at the beachside restaurant On the Rocks which serves light lunches and barbecue dinners. The poolside and beachfront bar is the perfect spot to enjoy cocktails and spellbinding sunsets.

With kingsize beds and luxurious sunken baths, this tranquil hideaway’s elegant accommodation has clearly been designed with romance in mind. Luxury Pavilions overlook the gardens and ocean, while the blissfully private Luxury Villas with Private Garden are set within walled courtyard gardens while the Luxury Villas with Private Pools feature a plunge pool. For something truly special you can opt for one of the opulent Presidential or Royal Villas.
