About

Rustic thatched cottages in a refined all-inclusive beach resort offering a pool & open-air dining.

Ben at the bar makes incredible drinks daily, and the cottages overlook the sea with unbeatable views. Walk-in guests get followed by armed security and turned away, even for lunch—this is a place for booked stays only, not casual drop-ins.
