You could stay indoors forever, with the 42’ Plasma TV, BOSE Sound system, W signature bed, wine fridge, mini bar and munchie box! But outside the private plunge pool and 2nd story lounge beckon. And there’s - a double daybed, fridge, and a BBQ deck from which to enjoy the breeze from the Indian Ocean.

possibility for inter-connecting rooms to offer privacy for friends and family.

Spy on the island’s marine life from the privacy of your infinite plunge pool (13.22m), from the sundeck or through the glass bottom floor. The Ocean Oasis indulges the senses with ingenious quirks of design. Find a 42’ Plasma TV, BOSE entertainment system or chill out on the daybed and enjoy a BBQ with a glass of your favorite wine cooled to perfection in your private wine fridge. Pure decadence!

Seascape Escape
For a serious WOW-factor, try the 322m2 Seascape Escape. You can entertain in the indoor /outdoor lounge area, complete with BBQ and BOSE® entertainment system or just wallow in your very own private, oversized infinity plunge pool (24 SQM) to the sounds of serenity. A sundeck with ocean views invites you to lie and ponder over the meaning of life as you sip champagne from your private collection in the wine fridge. Perhaps the separate chic refreshment center in the retreat calls, or a favorite movie on your 50’ Plasma TV. Decisions, decisions…

Ocean Haven

You set the pace of this experience, inviting your coolest friends to join you at sunset in the overwater infinity pool.

Steaks are sizzling on the BBQ Grill so you leave the pool (782m) to uncork a bottle of that special vintage stored in your wine fridge. Your guests turn the beat up on the BOSE® sound system and you celebrate loving life to the extreme.
