Residing on a 37ha inlet with a private, white sand beach where the waters invite snorkelling and kayaking, this 207-key resort was designed to resemble a classic oceanfront mansion. Rooms are modern Chinese it is finest: here, grainy wood, fine leathers, with the occasional red accent, impress with a theme which carries on in the 17 private, 185sq m villas with private pools and balconies. The hotel’s main restaurant, Dining Room, serves superb European cuisine, ranging from buttery croissants to delicate steamed local fish – the best way to end a day at this bucolic tropical hideaway.
