Just nine contemporary suites complement the island's pristine natural environment and provide a luxurious, serene refuge. Spacious, light filled interiors feature timber floors, marine ply joinery and custom furniture pieces that create a sophisticated beach house ambience. All suites feature king beds with superior cotton linens, Bose music system, TV, DVD, telephone and wireless internet. An in-suite bar offers locally-sourced epicurean treats.

Slick slab vanities contrast the organic feel of handcrafted ceramic and resin bathware.
