Weigh what matters to you

Villa Chooser: Overwater, Beach or Pool Villa

Set what matters most, from privacy to snorkelling to children, and see which villa type and position suit your stay.

How it works

Each villa type gets points for what it does well and loses points for what it does poorly, weighted by your answers.
Position matters as much as the type: the end of a jetty is the most private, the start the most convenient.
Sunset villas face west, sunrise villas face east. West facing terraces are warmer in the afternoon.
Ask for the resort map before booking and check where paths, jetties and boat routes run.
