This finely furnished guest bedroom comes with something unique for this locale — a partial ocean view. The window bays face East and South, and on clear days the Indian Ocean can be perceived on the far horizon. Low panoramic windows allow unobstructed views directly from the bed, and ships may sometimes be observed passing in the distance.

The bedroom hosts timber-clad walls, and a 22m2 ​Bangkirai ​timber floor surface, partially covered with a natural carpet from Sumatra. It is comfortably appointed with a king-sized bed and luxury King Koil mattress, pure cotton sheets, and a fitted mosquito net. There’s also air-conditioning and a ceiling fan for cooling — but you may need neither, as true sea breezes are known to blow through. A fine working desk and chair facing towards the beautiful scenery gives one a place to sort their inspirations into artistic statements like a modern-day Walter Spies.

The 14m2 full en suite bathroom is partially outdoors, and features an open-air shower that enjoys amazing 360° views of the surrounding nature — while continuing to preserve one’s privacy.
