Right on the beach
The guesthouse sits directly on the sand, so the beach is effectively the front of the property. A garden, picnic area and outdoor furniture give you somewhere to sit outside, and many rooms look out to the sea or the garden from a private balcony or terrace.
Simple rooms, sea or garden
Rooms are 25 m² with a queen bed, air conditioning and a private bathroom. Each has a balcony or terrace, free WiFi, a refrigerator and an electric kettle. Choose a sea-view room for the water, or a garden-view room for a little less.
Restaurant and bar on-site
There is a restaurant and a bar on the property, so you don't need to leave for a meal or a drink. A happy hour runs at an additional charge, and a pool table gives the bar area something extra in the evenings.
