I used to come here every summer. I don’t come as often now of course, and mostly it’s just to be alone.

Description[]
I'm not sure if I like it best now or in the winter. You can only get here by air then, the waves come up so high it covers the windows.
—Rhadé Sarasvati Nalanda
One of the many sitting rooms at the villa
The villa has seven bedrooms, an informal dining area on one of the balconies and a formal dining room inside. It also has many sitting rooms and an office that Nalanda used during her brief stays there. Outside the villa is a garage and small hangar and landing platform with airspeeders and a starship.
Halwein Island
A short distance from the villa is Halwein Island, which can only be reached by walking and swimming due to the fact the sand bar makes the water so shallow. There is a small house on the island were Nalanda kept records, as well as a creek that droids into a water wall from a ten meter drop. while they are on the island, Skywalker plays a trick on Naberrie by jumping over the waterfall and making her think he was drowning. When Naberrie followed him down, they shared their first kiss underwater.

Behind the Scenes[]
The villa was designed to be very different from the one featured in Attack of the Clones. Some of what took place there, walking along a sandbar, jumping off a ten meter cliff, are based on Katana Geldar's own experiences.
