White Sand Luxury Villas & Spa – Deluxe Villa
THE VILLA
Finally seeing the property in person made it completely breathtaking. At the White Sand Luxury Villas & Spa our deluxe villa included a private entrance, 24/7 on call butler, terrace, private pool and separate living room quarters.
The bedroom was so spacious with satellite tv, mini-bar, A/C and a mosquito net surrounding the bed; which comes in handy at night in tropical climates with those pesky bugs and mosquitos. Upon arrival, we were gifted traditional Kanga cloths which made the perfect beach coverup and a nice keepsake to bring back home.
Spacious bathroom with double vanity sink with rain shower and wardrobe complete with a full size mirror, because yes, these things matter, lol.

The separate living room has a sofa, satellite TV, a variety of coffees and teas and a cappuccino machine.
Outside, the villa has an outdoor bath and shower as well as a terrace with sun beds by the private pool when you want to take a little dip.
THE GROUNDS
Walking around the grounds is so picturesque and truly feels like you’re in paradise. There is one pool on the property which we never felt the need to utilize because the beautiful beach is literally minutes away. There are beach front cabanas and sun beds lined up to really sit back, relax and enjoy the serenity.

The beach front restaurant is a nice lunch stop for a break from the beach. Here we had fresh seafood and barbecue with fresh juices and smoothies.

Cocktails and the beach, I can say no more!
PRIVATE DINING
My fiancé set up the cutest private dinner on the beach to celebrate our engagement-moon with the help of our amazing butler Thomas. They prepared all of my favorite dishes from a fish and mango tartare, king prawns and coffee crème brûlée.
