The private island resort features 90 luxuriously appointed villas for hotel guests to choose from. There are beachfront villas, called Dune Villas, and overwater villas, called Coral Villas. The Dune villas are nestled on a sweeping white sand beach and shaped in a way that reflects desert sand formations. The overwater Coral Villas bring to mind the shapes of seashells and these overwater suites offer direct water access.
