Private houses, shared rooms for solo travellers, and canvas tents with single mattresses. Every room is hand-built, open to the garden and surrounded by flowering plants, teak trees and banana groves. No TVs, no minibars — a comfortable bed, a balcony and a lot of green.

A little look around

Simple rooms, surrounded by green.

Our accommodation is spread through the garden rather than packed into one building. This short aerial loop shows a few of the cottages and bungalows as they actually sit among the trees.
