The location of the hotel on the beach was amazing: the apartment room was spacious and comfortable and a short walk from the main hotel building. Food was excellent and we enjoyed watching the dhows go out whilst we had a leisurely Breakfast. The rooftop pool had amazing views and the larger pool downstairs was clean, warm and relatively unused.

The Villa is a jewel. it was saved and restored from a nature that was literally claiming and swallowing it back. The White Villa stands Out from its beautiful green garden but without being intrusive with nature. The garden and the Door Collection absolutely deserve a visit. the room was really well designed and furnished. you have really the feeling to be in a small bubble suspended out of time.
