Sonesta is more than a resort - it
also has private villas.
And Hibiscus is the premier villa at Sonesta.
Five bedrooms, private yard and pool, right on the sandy waterfront.
The interiors are spacious, lush and luxurious, but still have a
friendly feel. With
marble floors and detailed Morrocan decorations on
the ceiling, the villa feels warm and comfortable.

In order for the vanishing edge to work best, and to warm the water in the winter, she is considering using slate black tile to line the pool. However, it is possible that this will make the pool too hot to use in August! Anyone who has experience with such a pool in a tropical climate, please email your advice: [email protected]
