Stuff You Should Know

That $2,000 nightly villa rate? Less shocking after your personal chef serves breakfast. The Pineapple House rooms start at a mere $800 (at peak times) – practically economy class for this crowd. Aircraft occasionally remind you of civilization's proximity, but the Ralph Lauren-designed everything helps you ignore them.

The beach is intimate enough to make small talk optional but inevitable. Pro tip: That dress code you're tempted to rebel against? Surrender. It turns out enforced sophistication has its charms, especially after sunset cocktails.

From Breakfast Chefs to Beach Bar Philosophers

Villa life comes with a personal chef who makes breakfast whenever your hangover permits. Not so in the hotel-type rooms, but you’ll be fine, we promise. Two restaurants span the formality spectrum: one where collars aren't optional (but that’s only dinner), another where sand between toes is part of the seasoning. The beach bar achieves that rare balance of being both sophisticated and fun – like your coolest friend who somehow got into Harvard. Live music eschews resort clichés for actual talent, and the dance floor fills as naturally as your wine glass empties. Afternoon tea serves tradition with ocean views, because this is still technically a British colony at heart.
