A historical Caribbean gem originally created for the iconic British rock legend David Bowie by renowned architects Arne Hasslqvist and Robert Litwiller, who then sold onto British publisher Felix Dennis, Mandalay embodies an intriguing fusion of Balinese architectural elements, modern interiors, and the allure of the Caribbean.

Embodying culturally and historically significant features, the multi-level 17,000 square feet villa includes a studio which was David Bowie's original recording studio, and "The Writer's Cottage", a secluded retreat which was used regularly by poet and publisher Felix Dennis who wrote many of his most well-known pieces of work including “How to get rich” and “A glass half full”.

The property is built around a split level koi pond, waterfalls, and an infinity pool, and features the Bamboo Lounge, providing an ideal spot for relaxation with sweeping Britannia bay views, a Japanese Yoga pavilion, a card room stocked with various family board games, and the main sundeck offering unparalleled vistas. With five spacious and uniquely designed bedroom suites alongside two private cottages, guests have ample space to unwind.

Mandalay provides a dedicated team of nine on-site staff, available throughout guests' entire stay, offering services ranging from meal preparation and refreshments to housekeeping and island activity guidance.
