We recommend to tip villa staff a maximum of US$2 per person per day at the end of your stay. Hand the total amount over to your butler in the presence of one or several other staff members.
You can tip your driver directly, however, do not give any tip if you bought anything in shops recommended by him, visited restaurants or attractions recommended by him or used any services such as spa etc recommended by him as he will have made a very substantial commission on all of these already!
