About this property
TheTree Villa, with Heated Pool & Spa Whirlpool
*The Private Retreat, is part of an Elite group of ThinkVilla bespoke stays, where hand-picked exceptional properties of outstanding 24/7 service, incredible tailored experiences and unique cultural charm await to inspire you. The Villa has been certified with the Seal of Approval, a 300’ Criteria Rating, for the unique design, innovation, individual quality & inspiring offerings only with ThinkVilla.
Introducing TheTree Villa Wake to salt-kissed air and horizon-wide views, then drift into mornings on the terrace with coffee and birdsong carried on the breeze. Days are made for sunlit swims in the heated pool—training against the jet streams if you wish—followed by hydromassage moments in the five-seater whirlpool and slow afternoons on the daybed beside the fire pit. As the light softens, the villa becomes a stage for togetherness: charcoal BBQ and wood-oven feasts, laughter around the outdoor dining loggia, children playing in the garden, and ping-pong matches that stretch long into the evening. When night falls, retreat indoors to calm, design-led comfort—where sea views, warm textures and quiet corners invite deep rest.
