Peaceful Hideaway Cottage Pool/Barbecue/Aircon


Welcome to Villa Holly

The chalet grounds are a tropical paradise. The well-maintained gardens contain many species of exotic, fragrant flora and fauna. You’re free to sample bananas, papayas, and passion fruits straight from the trees. The entire acre plot is surrounded by a beautiful, bougainvillea-covered wall.
This is a complex of Two identical Cottages just a 750-meter walk from the powdery white sands and shallow shores of the Indian Ocean and a 5-minute walk from taxis and tuk-tuk services.

If you are looking for an affordable, exotic holiday in a place that offers much more than your average (run of the mill) accommodation…Villa Dora and Holly are for you…
