Secret Bay Rooms & Suites

Secret Bay currently operates 27 villas across Peninsula, Hillside, Clifftop, and Summit. The seven official booking cards comprise four architectural villa types and three collections or estate formats. Every operating villa has a private plunge pool, full kitchen, open-air living area, covered terrace, dedicated villa host, and an ocean or jungle outlook; no plunge-pool length, depth, or operating hours are published. Waterfront and Cliffside are future enclaves under construction, not current room inventory. The house publishes conflicting child rules: the rates page welcomes under-16s in all villas with a signed parent or guardian waiver, while the overview FAQ limits its wording to children under 12 in one- or two-bedroom villas with a waiver and constant supervision. Confirm the applicable rule in writing.

7 categories on the live list

Before you book a room

  • Zabuco guest-card areas differ from owner-sale areas; Ti-Fèy guest areas and 1.5 or 2.5-bedroom labels differ from owner areas and one- or three-bedroom labels; Ylang Ylang is 2,030 on the guest card versus 1,600 on the owner basis.
  • Mapou is 1,220 on the current card and enclave guide versus 1,120 in repeated navigation; future Waterfront Mapou separately uses 1,378 total or 880 on an owner basis.
  • Honeymoon is 1,120–3,330 on the index, up to 3,303 on its card, and 1,120–3,303 in the enclave guide; Multi-Villa hotel totals must not be replaced by owner valuations.
  • No villa plunge-pool dimensions or hours, most maximum occupancies, or property-wide pet policy are published.
  • Waterfront and Cliffside villas are future inventory; current operations remain Peninsula, Hillside, Clifftop, and Summit.

Category 1

Zabuco Villas

Panoramic mountain and Caribbean views · Maximum occupancy not published

Zabuco is the one- or two-bedroom freestanding sanctuary at the farthest points of the promontories, more than 200 feet above the sea, with one or two baths, plunge pool, deck, outdoor shower, hammock sofa, and barbecue garden. The card lists Peninsula, Clifftop, and Summit inventory, including Peninsula Zabuco I with its Wild Orchid Garden Deck and several two-bedroom arrangements. Clifftop and Summit use the funicular and have EV parking; only Clifftop Zabuco III and IV and Summit Zabuco I are identified as wheelchair-friendly. The guest card publishes 3,028–4,083 total indoor/outdoor square feet, while owner sales pages use 2,858–2,973 for individual sale units on a different area basis; do not substitute those figures. Clifftop V and VI carry a past stay-from date on this card but remain “coming soon” on the Honeymoon card, so confirm bookability. No pool dimensions, pool hours, maximum occupancy, villa-specific age minimum, or pet policy are published. Resort rules conflict between under 16 on the rates page and under 12 in the overview FAQ.

3,028–4,083 total indoor/outdoor sq ft on the hotel card

Category 2

Ti-Fèy / Ti-Fèy+ Villas

Jungle-to-ocean or jungle views, depending on villa · Ti-Fèy+ accommodates up to 6 on a separate official article; other maximum occupancies not published

Ti-Fèy villas are two- or three-storey glass-walled treehouses. Standard Ti-Fèy has 1.5 bedrooms and two baths, with a King main bedroom and flexible half-bedroom; Ti-Fèy+ has 2.5 bedrooms and three baths, adding a room with two Full beds. Peninsula, Hillside, and Clifftop inventory is listed, with funicular language for Hillside and Clifftop; the card makes no wheelchair claim. The hotel card publishes 1,686–2,799 total indoor/outdoor square feet and calls the types 1.5 and 2.5 bedrooms, while owner sales material uses smaller valued areas and labels them one and three bedrooms. Use the guest-card categories, not owner labels. Clifftop II and III carry a past stay-from date here but remain “coming soon” on collection cards, so confirm bookability. No pool dimensions, pool hours, universal maximum occupancy, villa-specific age minimum, or pet policy are published. Resort rules conflict between under 16 on the rates page and under 12 in the overview FAQ.

1,686–2,799 total indoor/outdoor sq ft on the hotel card

Category 3

Ylang Ylang Villas

Garden setting · Maximum occupancy not published

The two Peninsula Ylang Ylang villas are one-bedroom, one-bath garden villas with two decks, a fully equipped verandah kitchen, barbecue, hammock sofa, and an elevated plunge pool reached directly from the bedroom. The guest card publishes 2,030 total indoor/outdoor square feet; the owner sales index separately uses 1,600 for sale-unit or valued floor area, which is not the hotel-card measurement. No funicular, accessibility, maximum occupancy, pool dimension, pool hour, villa-specific age minimum, or pet policy is published. Resort rules conflict between under 16 in all villas on the rates page and under 12 in one- or two-bedroom villas in the overview FAQ, both with waiver language.

2,030 total indoor/outdoor sq ft on the hotel card

Category 4

Mapou Villas

Uninterrupted ocean and sea-to-sky views · Maximum occupancy not published

The operating Mapou category is Summit Mapou I, a one-bedroom, one-bath cliff-edge bungalow with an open terrace, plunge pool, outdoor rain shower, funicular access, and EV parking. The current card and enclave guide publish 1,220 total indoor/outdoor square feet, while repeated current navigation copy says 1,120; both figures remain live and should be confirmed. Do not merge either with future Waterfront Mapou, which is under construction and is described as 1,378 total indoor/outdoor square feet in its owner brochure and 880 on an owner sales basis. No operating-villa maximum occupancy, pool dimensions, pool hours, villa-specific age minimum, or pet policy are published. Resort rules conflict between under 16 on the rates page and under 12 in the overview FAQ.

1,220 total indoor/outdoor sq ft on the current hotel card and enclave guide; repeated official navigation says 1,120

Category 5

Honeymoon Villas

Depends on the underlying Zabuco, Ti-Fèy, Ylang Ylang, or Mapou villa · Maximum occupancy not published

Honeymoon Villas is a booking collection, not a separate floorplan. It draws one-bedroom selections from Peninsula and Clifftop Zabuco, Peninsula and Hillside or Clifftop Ti-Fèy, Peninsula Ylang Ylang, and Summit Mapou; each keeps the pool, deck, setting, access, and measurement of its underlying villa. Official area copy conflicts: the villas index says 1,120–3,330 square feet, the collection card says up to 3,303, and the enclave guide says 1,120–3,303. Clifftop choices use the funicular. The card still calls some Clifftop Zabuco and Ti-Fèy inventory “coming soon” after their underlying cards' past stay-from dates, so confirm the exact key. No adults-only rule, maximum occupancy, pool dimension, pool hour, villa-specific age minimum, or pet policy is published. The resort-wide child wording remains under 16 on rates versus under 12 in the overview FAQ.

Index says 1,120–3,330 sq ft; collection card says up to 3,303; enclave guide says 1,120–3,303

Category 6

Friends & Family Villas

Depends on the selected Zabuco, Ti-Fèy, or Ti-Fèy+ villa · Ti-Fèy+ accommodates up to 6 on a separate official article; other maximum occupancies not published

Friends & Family is a collection of underlying Zabuco, Ti-Fèy, and Ti-Fèy+ villas rather than one design. Two-bedroom Zabuco choices have either two Kings or one King plus a Queen guest room with sleeper sofa and two en-suite baths; Ti-Fèy choices retain the half-bedroom arrangements, while Ti-Fèy+ adds two Full beds. The collection prints 1.5, two, or 2.5 bedrooms, two to three baths, and up to 3,303 square feet, with selected two-bedroom Zabucos described as over 3,000 square feet. Area and bedroom labels must follow each guest card rather than the owner sales index. Wheelchair language on the collection is broad, but detailed house guidance limits accessible villas to Clifftop Zabuco III and IV and Summit Zabuco I. No pool dimensions, pool hours, blanket maximum occupancy, collection-specific age minimum, or pet policy are published. Rates say under-16s are welcome in all villas with a waiver; the overview FAQ instead says under 12 in one- or two-bedroom villas with waiver and constant supervision.

1.5-, 2-, or 2.5-bedroom collection up to 3,303 sq ft; selected two-bedroom Zabucos are described as over 3,000 sq ft

Category 7

Multi-Villa Estates

Panoramic ocean or jungle-to-ocean views, depending on pairing · Maximum occupancy not published

Multi-Villa Estates connect two or more neighbouring villas by private pathways, preserving multiple kitchens and plunge pools. The six printed configurations are Peninsula Zabuco plus Ti-Fèy at 4,384 square feet; Peninsula Zabuco Estate at 6,056; Hillside Ti-Fèy Estate at 3,372; Clifftop Zabuco plus Mapou at 4,083; Clifftop Zabuco plus Ti-Fèy at 3,989; and Summit Zabuco plus Mapou at 4,423. Owner sales pages separately use 3,778 or 4,434 for Clifftop estates and 3,878 for Summit on their own area basis; do not replace hotel-card totals. Hillside, Clifftop, and Summit use the funicular; EV parking applies to Clifftop and Summit. Accessibility exists only where the pairing includes Clifftop Zabuco III or IV or Summit Zabuco I. No estate maximum occupancy, pool dimensions, pool hours, estate-specific age minimum, or pet policy is published. The house conflicts between under 16 on rates and under 12 in the overview FAQ.

Six printed configurations from 3,372 to 6,056 total sq ft

Secret Bay rooms FAQ

How many operating villa categories are there?
Seven official booking cards cover Zabuco, Ti-Fèy and Ti-Fèy+, Ylang Ylang, Mapou, Honeymoon, Friends & Family, and Multi-Villa Estates across 27 operating villas.
Why do official villa areas differ?
Guest cards use total indoor/outdoor areas, owner pages use separate sale-unit or valued-floor bases, and Mapou and Honeymoon also conflict within guest-facing house copy. Keep each basis separate.
Which villas are accessible by the detailed house standard?
The detailed fit-out is identified for Clifftop Zabuco III and IV and Summit Zabuco I. Hillside, Clifftop, and Summit use the funicular; other routes should be confirmed.
Are Waterfront and Cliffside villas open?
No. Waterfront and Cliffside are under construction and their Mapou, Ti-Fèy+, and future Kampech inventory must not be treated as operating rooms.
