The resort’s grand 389 rooms, suites and a collection of villas are remarkably spacious and exquisitely decorated with antique furnishing.

These villas come with a built-in spa, a commodious area, and their very own private swimming pool. A staycation you’ll never want to leave. It’s like living in a palace furnished with 70,000 items by Italian ateliers of Francesco Molon. Oh, and don’t forget to look up and enjoy the shimmer of more than 6,000 Swarovski Crystal chandeliers. Did we mention the resort’s palatial pink marble was imported from Portugal?
