A further 200 metres out in the Indian Ocean, the stunning Ocean Pavilions face the sunset and are the last word in pampered luxury. Privacy is assured as access to these wooden walkways is only for pavilion residents. Your private fibre-optic lit infinity pool blends naturally with the horizon. The master bedroom is open-plan, while an infinity-edge Kohler bath that fills from the ceiling forms the centrepiece.
