The villa boasts an exquisite blend of modern elegance and traditional charm. Each of the three bedrooms is meticulously designed  to offer the utmost comfort, featuring plush bedding, spacious wardrobes, and en-suite bathrooms with premium amenities.

Breakfast at Tasting Table 

Start your day at our award-winning Tasting Table, where you will enjoy a lovingly prepared gourmet breakfast, including a wide range  of beautifully created pâtisserie, at one of our beachside tables or in our elegant dining-room with panoramic views over the sea. 

Lunch at Nava and The Ledge by Dave Pynt 

Situated at the heart of the resort is the palm-fringed Nava beach club, a cozy haven that will gently stimulate all your senses. You  can enjoy a light lunch, from a freshly prepared salad of seasonal ingredients to a hand-crafted pizza infused with delicious smoky  flavours from our wood-fired oven. Here, too, you can chat over a chilled glass of wine or a freshly prepared fruit juice, or just dream  while listening to the cool beats curated by our resident DJs. 

The Ledge by Dave Pynt, created by the eponymous award-winning chef and a sister restaurant to his Michelin-starred Burnt Ends  in Singapore. The Ledge brings you Burnt Ends’ innovative, modern-day twist on the Australian barbecue, so it’s fitting that branches  of the Eucalyptus marginata or Jarrah tree from Western Australia, organically sculpted by nature herself, are suspended above the  counter of the open kitchen. 

Dinner at Glow and Li Long 

Glow brings the soul of the Mediterranean to life, offering a dining experience inspired by the coastal regions of Southern Italy, Greece,  Spain, and the Middle East. Rooted in the principles of freshness, simplicity, and nourishment, the menu highlights locally caught fish,  sun-kissed vegetables, and bright, invigorating flavors.

Enjoy the very best of contemporary Chinese dining at Li Long, including our signature Peking duck roasted in a classic wood-fired  oven and carved at your table by a Chinese master chef. Unique to Li Long is the very finest collection of Chinese teas that we will  help you pair with the dishes you select. We also have the most beautifully decorated private dining-room with exceptional views over  the tranquil water.
