ECO CHIC
Keeping true to our eco-chic hideout beliefs, our villas, although luxurious, spacious, comfortable and private in nature, do not offer television. Our villas, however, do offer great open architecture, natural ventilations and of course have fans besides all other modern day comforts like outdoor showers, his and her vanity tables, comfortable bedding and so forth. At night a cool breeze from the ocean and the sounds of the waves adds to a great natural experience to sleep at night while keeping our eco-footprint as small as possible.
For guests seeking a little cooling, all villas have air conditioning in the bedrooms if you prefer to close up the windows and doors at night.
