The Signature Villas are all completely secluded from one other. Here reclusive couples can unreservedly let their guard down. Unprecedented levels of privacy are graced by spectacular ocean views, whether your villa is perfectly poised on the hilltop or offers direct access to a 'secret' beach.

A complimentary bottle of Champagne celebrates your arrival. A newspaper of your choice delivered daily makes you feel at home. Laundry services are complimentary, along with private yoga sessions, a manicure and pedicure in the privacy of your villa and a painting kit for you to express the creative urge that will be inspired by the beauty that surrounds you.

Gentle rolling waves break on the white sands of a private beach, leading up to green lawns and tropical gardens that make your Ocean Front Villa feel like a private paradise. Perfectly secluded from each other, Ocean Front Villas put your toes a few feet from the Indian Ocean. At the same time, they are ideal for families. Families can book villas next to each other for easy get-togethers like scrumptious seafood beach barbeques personally prepared by the chef.

Atop the hillcrest of our private peninsula, Ocean Panoramic Villas will stun you with spectacular 180-degree vistas of the sparkling Indian Ocean. Lush surroundings provide a privacy perfect for honeymooners.

Against the slopes of our peninsula, Ocean View Villas nestle amid lush tropical vegetation and overlook the private Anse Louis beach, Maia's dining area and a majestic pool that sparkles crystal clear blue by day, lit by the flames of red-orange fires by night.

Here you can really breathe the sweet sea air and the soft scent of tropical flora. Dive into the calm, turquoise waters and drift into a world of peace and tranquility. Float in you own pool just above the sea while enjoying the view out onto the calm beach free of any sound of motorised water sport equipment.

The spa area was designed as a haven of pure relaxation, meditation and pampering. 3 luxurious treatment rooms where only La Prairie products are used, serve the rejuvenation and restoration of body, mind and soul.
