“In my opinion, this is a place designed for both romance and family fun, where private villas open directly onto the lagoon. Dining ranges from treetop settings to themed restaurants, and I think the wine cellar certainly stands out. This island hideaway, easily reached by seaplane, seems to truly deliver a luxurious escape.”
