SUNRISE FROM YOUR PILLOW

Open your eyes to the ocean

Hibiscus sits among the palms in the resort's tropical gardens, a few steps from the pool, with the ocean just beyond.

Windows wrap around the room and the king bed looks straight out to sea. Leave the curtains open, and the first light of the day finds you before any alarm does.

A hand-carved sign at the door. Fresh flowers on the bed. A timber cupola high above you and the sea breeze through the flyscreens. Hibiscus is small enough to feel like your own hideaway, and made with the care of a much bigger place.

Warm timber, tropical gardens, the sea beyond.

JOHN & SAM T. · BRISBANE · TRIPADVISOR, JUNE 2026

We stayed in the Hibiscus villa… It was spacious, comfortable and the perfect place to stay when on a holiday like this.

A ONE-OF-A-KIND DESIGN

Eight sides, wrapped in timber and light.

Hibiscus is a true eight-sided villa, hand-crafted from beautiful timbers and made to last in the island climate.

With no square corners, the room wraps around you. Windows on every side let in the light and the tropical breeze, and the timber ceiling rises to a cupola high above the bed.

There's something wonderfully calming about a room with no corners. Step out to your covered veranda, with the pool and the ocean in view.
