The private pools are generously sized and surrounded by tropical plants. The water’s edge rolls close to the villa’s back doorstep with large glass sliding doors framing the view. Time here is best spent relaxing under your thatched-roof cabana or on the pool loungers, taking quick dips throughout the day.

Also on the property is Embers — a Mediterranean restaurant serving bold dishes made with simple, fresh ingredients. Offering breakfast, lunch and dinner, the warm and friendly service enhances the overall experience as you dine in a space that seamlessly flows from a modern wooden interior to a fresh open-air patio surrounded by greenery. As a guest, you’re invited to have a hands-on experience with the organic garden, picking your own vegetables to be served to your table as a fresh salad or sautéed greens.
