This intimate hotel is situated on a four-acre piece of land along the coast but consists of only nine rooms . These are in the two-story kizikula houses which blend seamlessly into the natural tropical surroundings . Locally found pink coral limestone was used to build the structures that are hidden from sight within the tropical gardens . Although each room has soft pastel-colored walls and wood-paneled ceilings , every room was designed to look different . The layout is spacious and includes gorgeous outdoor showers as well as a balcony or veranda with sea or garden views .
There is an on-site organic farm that produces most of the fruits and vegetables you ’ ll find on the menu , which changes daily . Each dish on offer is organic , healthy , and made from only the freshest local ingredients .

A stairway and natural rocky tunnel through the coral cliffs connect the hotel grounds directly to the sea . This is truly the place for adventurous souls , people looking to disconnect from the hectic pace of life , and digital nomads searching for an affordable sustainable escape .
