SECRET BAY

Secret Bay’s six impressive villas feel enveloped in nature. There are three large honeymoon villas, the most sought-after being closest to sea while the other smaller yet equally beautiful residences dot the flourishing gardens and leafy jungle canopy for immersive effect. Eco-conscious without compromising on comfort, interiors include tropical hardwood inside and out with each villa featuring an outdoor deck, private plunge pool and fully equipped kitchen where you can stock produce from the hotel’s signature breakfast hampers.

In villa dining caters to your every whim but the literally elevated restaurant makes the most of the views, peering down at the sparkling waters of one of the resort’s two beaches. Every meal or tailormade excursion starts with a conversation so that staff can discover your daily mood, whether that is for zingy lionfish ceviche for lunch in your villa or a private beach picnic, toes dug in the sand.
