Private island resort
Date of Building and Last Renovation
In its second year, the resort went through a significant enhancement in 2019 and resulted in a total inventory of 113 villas after integrating 24 beach villas into 12 units of Two Bedroom Beach Pool Residences. Following the six months enhancement, in January 2020 the resort officially introduced some new villa categories including ‘Beach Villa With Plunge Pool’ and ‘Overwater Pool Villa’ after enhancing them with private pools.
Since 2020, the resort continues to elevate the guests’ facilities and experiences with developments and enhancement projects, including Organic Garden dining, a newly opened yoga pavilion, a teppanyaki counter, and a padel tennis court as the latest addition to its integrated Sportsfields.
