A private deck with a table and deckchairs looking north over Chintsa bay

Accommodation

Nine ways to stay

All of them on the same hillside, all of them a few minutes’ walk from the same beach.

How it works

Pick the view, or pick the price. You get the same beach either way.

Rates move with the season and with how long you’re staying, so we don’t publish a fixed price list. Check live availability for your dates, or send us a message and we’ll come back with options.
