This retreat ensures guests can step onto the sandy shore without crossing any roads or other properties, providing immediate, direct access to the coastline. The beach is characterized by its unspoiled, clean environment, bordered by natural Casuarina trees which offer shade and enhance the tranquil surrounding.

Each unit includes an attached bathroom with contemporary fittings, ensuring functionality alongside comfort. The cottages also come with veranas or balconies, inviting guests to relax while enjoying the coastal views.
