Review
Raffles is a beautiful natural island which has some incredible dining options for clients to enjoy. The unique set up of a twin island concept with the water villas separate from the island itself. The island has a relaxed atmosphere so I would sell as an adults focused property with some of the most comfortable beds which are truly massive. The Villas themselves are all very private with lots of lush vegetation on the island by the beach villas. The house reef was also exceptional with a range or corals and Marine life surrounding the island.
