Three Cabins
"If you like nature, the sound of silence only filled by frogs calling each other and the sound of the waves in the distance, this is the place to go." - Frank
Simple & Peaceful
Our three standalone cabins, lovingly referred to as jungalows, offer a warm, serene retreat to unplug and reconnect with nature’s rhythm. Open-air by design, each cabin features solid half walls and screened panels, inviting refreshing trade winds and the soothing sounds of ocean and jungle to lull you into restful calm.
Blending natural materials with modern comfort, the cabins accommodate solo travelers or pairs, with one or two beds per cabin. Each has a private lanai—perfect for morning tea, journaling, or stargazing under the stars. Guests often remark that they enjoy some of the best sleeps of their lives here. Guests also have access to the Pavilion, a shared space with a second kitchen, bathrooms, showers, and a lounge area.
With reliable Starlink internet, you can stay connected when needed while embracing a gentle digital detox.
Crafted to nourish rest, presence, and a deeper connection to the land, the cabins provide a private, nature-rich sanctuary for rejuvenation and inspiration. Beach towels, mask/fins plus yoga mats provided.
