\u201cIn addition to the new villas, we\u2019re also thrilled to bring even more new amenities and experiences to Secret Bay, and to continue to raise the bar for excellent hospitality and transformational experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n

The exclusive six-star, all-villa, Relais & Ch\u00e2teaux rainforest resort and residences are situated on top of a 200-foot cliff with expansive views of the Caribbean Sea and access to three swimmable and secluded beaches. The clifftop multi-villa estates are architectural masterpieces thoughtfully tucked in among the trees and natural landscape, reaffirming Secret Bay\u2019s commitment to environmental preservation.<\/p>\n

Each clifftop estate features two villas, thoughtfully sited so that each has expansive views and ultimate privacy and seclusion. The addition of these villas increases the resort\u2019s inventory to 16 and four more clifftop villa estates are expected to be completed by the end of 2023.<\/p>\n
