What it is

A paradise of 84 thatched over-water villas, a spa with glass-bottomed treatment rooms, six bars and restaurants, and bucket list experiences.

What it isn't

Boring. Theme nights allow you to take in a Tahitian dance or fire show while tucking into the local buffet.

What we think

There’s a reason that honeymooners (and couples that just want to feel like them) book here: it’s truly a utopia, right here on earth. Want to parasail over a glass clear turquoise lagoon? You can. Skydive together over Bora Bora? Just ask the concierge. Practically any wish you have is their command. That pampering continues in the over-water villas, which are truly eye-popping—and include glass bottomed coffee tables to see the coral fish swimming below and sundecks with outdoor showers and lagoon access; many also have their own private pools. Our favorite room might be the Overwater Pool Villa Beach View for its proximity to the sand and terrace with a (yep) private pool. Whatever room you select, you’ll be wowed; amenities include Nespresso machines, deep soaking tubs, minibars, Sonos sound systems, and (phew!) air conditioning.

You're here because

You get bored easily, and the activities list is literally bottomless; it ranges from private pontoon boat rentals to snorkeling safaris with resident stingrays.

The Moment

You’re not sure if you’ve ever been more relaxed than you are right now at the overwater spa, after your volcanic stone massage and sea water bath. Aaaaah.
