Accommodations: Where Comfort Meets Nature
The Secret Garden Villa offers a collection of handcrafted wooden rooms, blending traditional craftsmanship with eco-conscious living. Accommodations are spread between the main building—home to the restaurant—and a nearby guesthouse, giving you a choice of four unique room styles.
Designed with nature in mind, all rooms feature open-air designs, private bathrooms, and handcrafted wooden furnishings. There are no glass windows or air conditioning—just the natural island breeze and the soothing sounds of the jungle. Wake up to the breathtaking sight of the sunrise from your private veranda, a daily reminder of the paradise you’re in.

Aladdin
Built around a massive granite boulder, this room creates a true sense of being one with nature. Located in a separate guesthouse near the main villa, Aladdin features a spacious veranda and an extra level of privacy—ideal for a serene getaway.
Sinbad the Sailor
Perched on the first floor of a boat-shaped house, this charming room makes you feel like you’re floating above the island. Its welcoming interior and open balcony provide the perfect spot to take in the breathtaking island views.
