Highlights

☻ This is a very low-key super-luxury hotel ☻ The island's architecture is overall inspired by the nautilus shell ☻ The rooms are all large in size and few in number, all equipped with private pools and private butlers ☻ The villas are highly personalized and very private, full of a luxury-home atmosphere ☻ The hotel can provide flexible specialty dining, focusing on absolute bespoke service

Before you go

☹ A breakwater on the wave-facing side of the water villas is one drawback; another is that the price is relatively high.
