Nestled in a pocket of private jungle, this three-bedroom villa looks more like a miniature village thanks to its novel layout – a cluster of interlinked pavilions topped with thatched conical roofs. The outdoor living space is extensive, including a secluded beach, a 40sq m swimming pool, an elevated treehouse lounge, cabana bar and an alfresco dining pavilion on the edge of the shore. Inside, the opulent master bedroom has a 2.6m bed which sits beneath a soaring ceiling; the room looks out to the ocean and has direct access to the treehouse lounge. A hallway leads to the master bathroom, which has twin sinks, a bath tub and a dramatic walk-in shower. The second bedroom is just as large, also with a superking-size bed and an ensuite bathroom with twin sinks, a bath tub and a walk-in shower. The third bedroom, which faces onto the garden, is perfectly suited to children, and has its own ensuite bathroom. Overlooking the pool and jungle, the circular living room has custom-made sofas and poufs, a hidden projector, a library, a gaming area and a small bar.
