Granite island villas
Colossal granite rocks and dense tropical forest frame ocean villas, where dedicated butler service meets open-air movie screenings beneath the stars.
“Built atop and between boulders, the resort almost looks as if it belongs here organically, if nature provided seamless infinity pools…”

Its 652 acres of dramatic elevations and virgin forests are home to just 30 extraordinarily luxe timber villas, each of which includes a private sundeck and an infinity-edge plunge pool…
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Forest trails cross Félicité Island through Ramos National Park, leading past granite outcrops to three secluded white-sand beaches and coral reefs.
The rooms
Timber villas feature private infinity plunge pools, submerged sun loungers, four-poster beds, and swing seats suspended over deep bathtubs.
The pool and yoga pavilion
Bring a swimsuit.
An elevated saltwater pool curves around granite boulders beside a timber pavilion designed for ocean-facing yoga.
The spa
Five double treatment villas are wedged between granite boulders, using Terres d'Afrique oils and local herb infusions.
The Koko Bar
Overwater nets swing over the sea beside a thatched pavilion serving fresh coconut mojitos at dusk.
The villas are the closest thing to super-smart, minimalist tree-houses: floored in local Balau wood, fronted in glass that allow the surroundings to take center stage.
At the table
Island Café serves Creole dishes by the beach, and Ocean Kitchen prepares fresh seafood with garden-grown produce.
How it began
Architect Richard Hywel Evans carved the resort directly into Félicité Island, preserving two-thirds of the land for protected national park habitats.
