Longer stays (6+ nights) are ideal for those incorporating wellness, special celebrations, or multi-island adventures into their itinerary.

Lihim Resorts offers multiple private dining options tailored to your preferences. Whether it’s a candlelit dinner on a secluded beach, a breakfast setup on your villa terrace, or a multi-course tasting menu served poolside, LXV Lifestyle can coordinate everything in advance. Dietary restrictions and personalized menus can also be accommodated with notice.

Lihim Resorts, in partnership with LXV Lifestyle, specializes in bespoke occasion setups.

Families are best accommodated in the Two-Bedroom Premium Villas, which offer ample space, multiple beds, and privacy within the same unit.
