Conclusion

What an amazing villa! All the details are perfectly curated both indoors with those high ceilings and the bathtub with a view, to the lovely outdoor space. The direct beach access is great and it’s made to give the villa’s pool area privacy with those tall hedges blocking the view from the beach.

This room is currently selling for about $2,500 or 783,000 points per night, or you can book their standard room, the overwater villa for 120,000 points per night and cross your fingers you get this villa as your Diamond upgrade!
