A clean slate by the sea.
Tabula rasa: the blank page. A stone-and-timber house with a pool, a garden bar and balconies that look over the palms to the water. Arrive, put your bag down and start again.
Stone pillars, warm wood and a pool in the garden.
Two storeys of hand-laid stone and timber wrap around a pool and a lawn behind a driftwood fence. Downstairs is open to the breeze: the bar, long wooden tables, rattan chairs and a hammock. Upstairs, a balcony runs the length of the house with a view through the coconut palms to the sea.
Simple, clean, made for sleeping well.
Wood floors, soft wall lights and crisp white linen. Every room is a fresh start.
Nothing scheduled. Everything close.
Swim, then swim again
The pool in the garden for lazy afternoons; the beach just past the fence for the rest.
Cold drinks at the bar
A wooden bar under the stone arches, ceiling fans turning, and a chalkboard promising cold beer.
Sunsets over the sea
The sun goes down behind the palms most evenings. Find a spot on the balcony and watch the sky change.
Waves and islands
Boards lean against the pillars. Ask about the waves, island hopping and waterfalls around San Vicente.
Learn to surf on Long Beach.
Small groups with our instructors, from your first wave to surfing on your own.
The day ends in colour.
Coconut palms, a fishing boat on the horizon, and a sky that goes orange, pink and violet. Don't make plans for this part of the day.
Have a look around.
