Settle into one of 45 overwater villas with endless aquamarine views and let your personal butler take care of the rest. Dine beneath the stars at By the Sea with exquisite Japanese fusion cuisine, sip cocktails over the lagoon, or descend into the Underground Wine Cellar for unforgettable pairings. Explore vibrant coral reefs by day, then melt into serenity at Meera Spa, where ocean-inspired therapies restore mind, body, and soul.
