Nestled in its own completely secluded, lush tropical garden, our Honeymoon Pool Bungalow is your own personal paradise, complete with your own ‘water features’ including private swimming pool, luminous open-air shower, outdoor ‘starlet’ spa bath on the verandah, and couples sauna! It offers an incredible sense of freedom with spectacular indoor-outdoor flow through four wide openings onto the verandah. The Honeymoon Pool Bungalow features a unique design with a broad wrap-around verandah and a high, thatched roof providing a fabulous sense of space and island romance, and the broad encircling deck means that sun-lovers can follow the sun all day in complete privacy. This wonderfully secluded, one-of-a-kind bungalow provides easy access to the lagoon via a private gateway tracing a sandy path to Aroa Beach and the blue lagoon. This is the ultimate honeymoon hideaway, whether you’re on your honeymoon, on your second (or subsequent!) honeymoon, or just an incurable romantic.
