During the festive season, the resort adopts an added layer of understated elegance and island-inspired charm.<\/p>\n<p>Guests waking on Christmas morning in an overwater villa are greeted by sunlight dancing across the lagoon. Instead of winter\u2019s chill, there is only the warmth of a gentle tropical breeze and the soft sound of the ocean beneath the suite.
