thats why some pay high rates for even fewer rooms (and lower occupancy)

77 villas (107 bedrooms) FS, not a private island, fees are +26.5%

32 villas (39 bedrooms) six senses
six senses is private island like (brando) , fregate , north , (laucala)
(amanpulo rates keep going up, including new holiday premium)
seems six senses kept original spa design, which looked great
curious re rates for 2/3BR, the 3/4BR design is actually unique
two of the 'seasons' >
1,112 1,562 Hideaway
1,472 1,923 Panorama
1,652 2,103 Ocean Front
1,833 2,283 Pasyon
inclusive of breakfast, tax and service charge
those rates are before 40% off then 20% off
thanks Pierre&Cédric for lower season rates

aforementioned private islands are not high density like maldives
rates in maldives (and everywhere really) continue to increase

operating costs of private island are a lot higher than regular hotel
if six senses is same price as FS, FS is 'expensive' , not six senses
maia also more expensive since all-inclusive rates and 30 villas
interesting maia says it includes scuba diving, i didnt recall that
pretty rare - maia , north , (laucala - inner reef) , (maybe necker)
