The luxury Kanishka offers 27 upscale villas, each with one or two bedrooms and a private pool or whirlpool hot tub. Units feel more like private houses, so a stay here differs from the typical hotel experience, and while there is much more privacy, there are also fewer facilities available at the property.

Those wanting to be near the beach may find the 15-minute walk too far, and should check out Le Jardin Villas as an alternative.
