For some people it is the captivating panorama view; for others it is the unique atmosphere which makes guest's South Seas dreams of "undreamt of pleasures" come true, with 1.200 square metres of living space, 11.000 square metres for of bedroom space and other private quarters, an unusually designed main residence with its own panoramic pool landscape, two spacious guest residences and special services such as a private cook, a chauffeur and a private nanny.

OVERWATER VILLA If one thinks of Laucala as paradise-like holiday scenery, the Overwater Residence is one of the brilliant colours that elevate this resort to a noble holiday work of art.

You will never experience the fascination of the South Pacific anywhere as fully as in the twobedroom residence, which appears to float above the emerald-green lagoon. You will not only enjoy luxurious living over an omnipresent ocean when you relax on the spacious terrace ranging across several levels over the lagoon but also when you have a bath in the hot tub or in the large private pool, which has been carved directly into the rocks of the shore, and last but not least while enjoying a romantic Sundowner cocktail or during a private dinner.

PENINSULA VILLA This luxurious mansion resembles an "island on an island", caressed by the dazzling turquoise waters of the South Pacific and surrounded by opulent green hills, a white beach and plenty of space for privacy. The spacious living areas are connected to each other by rope bridges offering spectacular views.

The natural pool carved into the rock, the concealed private beach and its own jey guarantee exclusive and completely undisturbed privacy.
