Why guests love itWe booked Finolhu for the design as much as anything and the private pool on our beachfront villa was the detail that actually got used every single day. Beach Kitchen's international menu meant our fussier eater always found something, which took the usual dinner-table stress off the table. We flew in by seaplane and my partner took the speedboat back with the bags, both routes worked fine and it was nice to have the choice rather than being locked into one.
