Xanadu Villas

As chic as they come, this privately owned property offers a particularly intimate feel compared with the islands larger hotels. With only 9 exquisite villas, shaped around the winding sandy pathways and tropical gardens, opening onto a pristine stretch of beach - it's a beautiful creation and the service is as personal as it comes. Each villa's individuality is contemporary in design and decor, but gives nod to the island’s history and culture. The kitchen produces the most incredible meals and cocktails and with a private butler per villa and private dining areas around the hotel, you can be as exclusive or as sociable as you like.
