What they say
Forbes Four-Star
Forbes Travel Guide
2026
A warm, inviting atmosphere emanates from the moment you enter the grand lobby... which give way to staggering vistas of a sparkling ocean.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set on a secluded northern peninsula, the resort borders Grand Gaube's traditional fishing bay just minutes from Goodlands markets.
The rooms
Bedrooms pair woven African baskets and geometric tiles with ocean-facing verandas, while select suites feature freestanding outdoor bathtubs.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A curving swimming pool wraps along a wooden sun deck, reflecting swaying palms and a circular rotunda pavilion.
The spa
A soaring vaulted corridor leads to twelve treatment suites, an aromatic steam room, and cold plunge pools.
Restaurant
Bodrum Blue
The circular waterfront pavilion sits under woven basket lamps, serving Turkish mezze and Levantine wines over the ocean.
At the table
INTI serves ceviche under curved timber ceilings, and Beach Rouge hosts sunset DJ sets on the beach deck.
How it began
Mauritian architect Jean-François Adam redesigned the property in 2018, transforming the coastal estate into an airy retro-chic village.
