STAY Grand Sunset Residence Size 25,317 sq ft Nightly rate $24,600

Commanding the island’s largest stretch of private beach, nestled amidst tropical greenery at the end of a private road, lies the largest, most astounding villa at One&Only Reethi Rah. The Grand Sunset Residence is an indulgent abode of opulent design and expansive proportion, with unique outdoor living spaces and lavishly appointed interiors. With three bedrooms, the Grand Sunset Residence is exceptionally spacious, offering an expansive setting for a serene getaway. The residence has a private 538-sq-ft swimming pool, private courtyard and unique outdoor living and dining area, where you can enjoy meals prepared by your own private chef or watch a favorite film under the stars. The gorgeous spa has a plethora of relaxing and restoring treatments, such as the signature One&Only Essence of Reethi Rah. The 180- minute treatment begins with immersion in the restorative waters of the ocean-side pool, followed by full-body exfoliation utilizing local coconut, then completed with a deeply relaxing massage with coconut oil. The treatment is followed by a tension-releasing scalp massage to ensure you are in a true state of serenity. If you’re on a romantic vacation, try the Island Hideaway experience. For the first part of your couples’ experience, you’ll come to a secluded patch of the beach by the Spa. Side by side, listening to the sound of the waves, you’ll each enjoy a luxurious hand ritual with sea salt and flower petals, followed by a 90-minute aromatherapy body massage. Then, you’ll have a traditional tea ceremony, right on the beach. The final part of the experience takes place in your own villa, where a relaxing bath awaits, along with glass of champagne each and a plate of exotic fruit.
