Opulenz Villa and Spa, located in the fast-developing Drax Hall corridor, soft-launched its suite of offerings last Saturday with a delightful cocktail reception and dinner for special guests.
The luxurious private retreat, a Steelepitt Development Ltd design and build, with its exclusivity, comfort, and personalised service, treated guests to a three-course meal as well as a tour of the six Hummingbird swim-up pool villas and five Palm suites in this Caribbean charm hideaway.
With live entertainment and the vino pouring freely, the guests, mainly travel consultants and St Ann corporate stakeholders, including nearby businesses, Uncorked, 12:12 Day Lounge, and Bettino’s, graciously welcomed the new entity to the area.
