The two newest bungalows feature modern finishes, air conditioning, four-poster king beds, and contemporary amenities, while the original larger villas accommodate families or longer stays. Every bungalow is positioned to maximize privacy, cooling ocean breezes, and spectacular sunset views.

Restaurant & Bar

The property’s popular restaurant serves both overnight guests and visitors exploring Bastimentos.

Features include:

The restaurant has become a destination for breakfast, lunch, dinner, cocktails, and sunset dining, creating an additional revenue stream beyond accommodations.

Expansion Opportunity

One of this property’s greatest advantages is its future upside.

The titled land offers elevated building sites with ocean views, while the waterfront provides opportunities for additional overwater structures (subject to local approvals). The existing infrastructure, established reputation, and available space allow new owners to significantly increase room inventory and revenue over time.
