For added privacy and flexibility, there’s also a separate studio apartment with its own king-size bed, kitchenette, lounge area, and bathroom — perfect for extended family or personal staff.

Cloud 9 Villa is designed with multiple expansive living areas and an abundance of natural light, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the awe-inspiring surroundings. Guests can choose from several private patios and lounges, each offering a unique vantage point to soak in the natural beauty. The villa features an elegant indoor dining area with a refined, contemporary aesthetic, perfect for enjoying meals prepared by the villa’s private chef.

Daily hot and cold breakfast is prepared fresh each morning by the villa’s private chef, while additional culinary services — including picnic baskets, lunches, and gourmet dinners — are available by additional arrangement through our concierge and Chef Anthony. For those preferring a more hands-on experience, guests are welcome to self-cater, with pre-arrival beverage stocking available for added convenience.
