Eagles Nest

Four villas on a hillside above the Bay of Islands, each one a self-contained world with a personal chef, infinity pool, and glass-walled shower arrangements that require a certain comfort with the view. This small-scale luxury resort holds a Michelin Key, and its size is the whole point: with a maximum of 22 guests at once, it functions less like a hotel than a very well-appointed private escape where the main activity is deciding whether to sail, fish, or simply stop.
