The development (motto: "No shoes, no news") specializes in rustic chic: there are TVs, minibars, quadraphonic sound and a spa, but all are hidden in well-spaced thatched villas tucked in a beachfront jungle. Floors are sand or tiled, electronics are concealed and furniture is rough-hewn wood or rattan. Guests also dress to blend in.
