The Moevenpick offers a large infinity pool with a sunken hot tub, a fitness center, and a full-service spa, as well as a kids' club so parents can take a break. The rooms and suites at the resort are enormous, most with with full kitchens, balconies with garden or lagoon views, and luxurious bathrooms; some suites have private pools and outdoor hot tubs. However, the resort can feel isolated -- especially for guests without cars -- as there's not much to do in the immediate area beyond going to the beach.

With 90 private villas and a tucked away location, the luxury Residence Resort and Spa Retreat provides a secluded getaway for guests that want to be in their own world. The villas themselves are the true highlight, each set with its own private pool, often with waterfall features or jets. Retractable glass walls allow for bedrooms or living spaces to open directly onto sundecks. All units, which range from one to three bedrooms, have kitchens and larger duplex villas have rooftop dining areas. Apart from the villas, an attractive spa and tiny restaurant represent some of the few public spaces, but there’s little reason (or space) for guests to come together and mingle. The location is also set apart from the beach and attractions, requiring a four-minute shuttle or tuk-tuk ride. Those looking for a villa getaway with more common space and features could consider the Villa Zolitude.
