A short island buggy ride along a winding, bush-canopied lane from the island village brings you out upon a bizarre forest of coral pedestals materializing suddenly from the glittering sea on the eastern shore of the island.  Set back from the tense edge of the low coral cliffs and secreted into the island bush, lie 14 villas designed for either one or two couples or for whole families comprising up to eight people. The villas will look out over this surreal vista, each set on a small private beach cove and carefully sited to ensure complete privacy and seclusion. Renowned for their ability to produce emotive and original responses to dramatic conditions, international award winning architects Andrew Makin, Mark Horner and Janina Masojada (architects of Singita Lebombo & the Johannesburg Constitutional Court) have produced an inspired contemporary villa design whose surprising style contrasts with the structures and design of the island village on the western side of the island. Constructed from coral rock and glass and finished in fragrant local hardwoods and marble, each villa uses width, depth and height to frame private vantages on a stunning natural marine world. Beautiful original artifacts, furnishings and the best environmental design ensure ultimate comfort and an exquisite sense of space, generous luxury and heightened well-being. The combination of conventional and passive low energy technology, in keeping with the energy efficient imperatives of our time, allow you to strike your own balance between over-indulgent comfort and the need for “one planet living”. The smallest villa has 270m² under roof and external areas covering 300m². Each villa features superb bedroom, en-suite bathroom and dressing areas offering the last word in panoramic moonscapes and sunrises. Optional outside showers and lapa, study and private freshwater pool are designed to evoke surprise and delight, and the kitchenette with spacious inside or outside in-villa dining completes the experience of a living to the dictates of a slower pulse set by natural island rhythms. For those that cannot make the break completely, mobile phone connections will be available over the island together with satellite TV, a high bandwidth internet connection and an intercom link between your villa and the island village. For your ultimate convenience, your personal majordomo will preside over your villa and will be available 24 hours a day to offer you warm hospitality and to care for your every need.
