This five-suite villa set on its own private 3ha islet eschews the stereotypical overwater stilts and thatched roofs. Its stylish, individually decorated rooms give way to elegant common areas equipped with the latest tech, as well as a marble-lined pool, tropical garden and private beach. Guests dine on a range of cuisines, from grilled New Zealand steaks to local catches prepared à la française, in picturesque settings across the estate, including poolside overlooking the crooked slopes of Mount Otemanu.
