Soon after your arrival our staff would have memorised your names, made you feel welcome and affected you with the pace of our world. Unwind, relax and experience the intimacy of Hot Stones - a private tropical escape which offers indulgence and seclusion.

Settled on the foreshore of the Qara ni Qio river, the Villas ooze a sense of space and calm. You can't help but switch off from the world of schedules and alarm clocks - except however, from the myna birds squabbling over an early worm.

Here you embrace the essentials. With nanny MereAni around a respectable sleep-in is suddenly possible. And why stop there? Have Benjamin, your resident chef, prepare you breakfast in bed.

Barefoot and sulu clad relax the day away - a lazy swim, a lazy game of scrabble, a lazy read by the river. With a masseuse and tall refreshing drinks on call it doesn't take long to feel recuperated.

Or with the quiet beaches, islands, rainforests and a golf green just minutes away, you can continue the calm offsite.

At dusk, enjoy cocktails and appetisers on the foreshore. Or perhaps some jazz, candles and a bottle of Merlot. Or maybe you just need a plump steak, a warm shower and an early departure to crisp white sheets.

Hot Stones, your own private hideaway.
