Not every water villa offers the same experience. The view, orientation, access to the lagoon, privacy and distance from the island can matter more than room size alone.

01

Lagoon or reef access

A calm shallow lagoon suits relaxed swimming, while a house-reef location can appeal more to confident snorkellers.

02

Sunrise or sunset side

Orientation changes the feel of your deck. Sunset villas are popular, but sunrise sides can be quieter and beautifully calm in the morning.

03

Think about the walk

The furthest villa may feel private, but it can also mean a longer walk to restaurants and facilities.
