Reviewed by @shayepromidotcom: I stayed in this stunning villa and the ocean views blew me away. The mix of raw stone walls and floor-to-ceiling glass creates such a unique vibe. Having a private infinity pool to watch the sunset from was the highlight of my trip. It's the perfect spot to disconnect.

Room Genie

Best picks

  • The Master Suite (Top Floor) — it has the best views, total privacy, and a massive terrace.

Rooms to avoid

  • The two lower-floor guest rooms are lovely but feel less 'grand' than the master; good for kids or single friends.
