Room Type

Time stands still when you live by the sea. All 125 villas touch the sea in some way, whether that be because they’re located on the beach, on the lagoon or on stilts over the water. And for those who like to have options, 79 of the villas have their own swimming pool. Vibrant colours are seductively brilliant and bridge the gap between the outdoors, as does the option to sleep, chill and shower in nature. Privacy is paramount, so you’ll always feel safe and secluded in your own space. There are photo opportunities at every sunrise, sunset and every moment in between as the picturesque landscape impresses at all times. An extraordinarily stylish resort, Finolhu is a place where your dreams really do come true.
