Abrezza and Martinique are two of the three Villas By-The-Sea that E&O built in its own seafront enclave at Seri Tanjung Pinang; Skye is the third. Both are freehold, both date from around 2013, and in 2026 both were asking about RM6.7M to RM7.5M. That's where the similarity ends. They are very different homes, and at the same price one of them gives you a lot more.
Key takeaways: Martinique is a two-storey courtyard villa of about 9,043 sq ft on 11,275 to 11,860 sq ft of land, with a private pool, and there are only 12. Abrezza is a three-storey villa of about 5,322 sq ft on 4,999 to 6,840 sq ft, with six bedrooms plus a staff room. On space, Martinique is the clear value. Abrezza makes sense if you want more bedrooms stacked over three floors on a smaller plot that's easier to maintain.

The real difference: how you'll live
Martinique spreads out. Most of the home is on two levels, wrapped around a private courtyard and pool, so it feels like a private estate and suits older family members who'd rather not climb. It's roughly 70% larger inside than Abrezza and sits on nearly twice the land.
Abrezza stacks up. Three storeys and six bedrooms plus a staff room on a more compact plot. It works well for a large family that wants everyone under one roof with separate floors, and the smaller plot means less garden and pool to maintain.
Which to choose
Choose Martinique if you want the most house and land for your money, you value a courtyard and pool, and you can wait. With only twelve, months can pass without one on the market.
Choose Abrezza if you want more bedrooms over three floors, prefer a smaller plot that's easier to look after, or Martinique simply isn't available when you're ready to buy.
Either way, check the exact villa: the view, the afternoon sun on the main living areas, and how much has been renovated. Both date from around 2013, so the condition of each villa explains much of the spread between RM6.7M and RM7.5M.
Zac’s Take
Zac Ong
These two get compared because they share an address and a price, but they're different homes. For the same money, Martinique gives you about 70% more house on almost twice the land, around a private courtyard and pool, mostly on two levels. That makes it the value pick if you can wait for one of the twelve. Abrezza is the right call for a big family that wants six bedrooms over three floors and a smaller plot to manage. Walk both before you decide.
