The layout of Villa Melissa is thoughtfully designed to accommodate families or groups traveling together. The property offers five spacious en-suite bedrooms, spread between the main house and a delightful self-contained cottage constructed from traditional coral stone. This arrangement allows for both privacy and togetherness, making it ideal for two families or groups of friends sharing a vacation. The main house features three air-conditioned bedrooms, each with ceiling fans and private en-suite bathrooms, while the charming cottage offers two additional air-conditioned double bedrooms, also with en-suite bathrooms.

At the heart of the outdoor living experience is the villa’s large saltwater swimming pool, set within beautifully landscaped gardens filled with tropical plants and vibrant flowers. The pool features a unique design divided by elegant stepping stones, creating a shallow three-foot section ideal for children and a deeper swimming area on the opposite side. Comfortable loungers surround the pool, allowing guests to relax in the sun while keeping an eye on the children. One of the most beloved features of Villa Melissa is its charming thatched tiki bar, located beside the pool. This inviting shaded space quickly becomes the social hub of the villa, where guests gather to enjoy refreshing drinks, play board games, or simply relax after a day at the beach.
