Gem 2-Bedroom Villa

At the end of the day you close a front door, not a room door. One villa, two hundred square metres, two proper bedrooms and a kitchen: the address for families and friends travelling together who want the resort outside the door and a house of their own behind it.

The villa is laid out on one level around a central room with no western wall at all: it stands open end to end onto the jungle, the far bank of the Petanu below it, and the Premiere Suites' pool a floor down, theirs to swim in, yours to look at. Both bedrooms have king beds and their own bathrooms; for a fifth guest we set up a proper extra bed in the master bedroom. The living room stands open to the air, so nobody sleeps there. The kitchen is real (fridge, hob, coffee), for the hours when nobody wants a restaurant.

Guests here get the run of the resort like everyone else: the pool, Sunset Point, the spa, the morning river walk. The difference is that at the end of the day the door closes on a household, not a hotel room.
