The 14 guest rooms are set around a courtyard, each one different with names like «Courage» or «Peace», they all have private sun terraces overlooking the mountains. The style combines Balinese architecture, Oriental gardens and Morocan candleholders with paintings of young Buddhist monks by local artist Alejandro Hermann, all carefully constructed following the Feng-Shui guidelines.

The hotel offers everything you need to relax and increase your wellbeing. Founder Kezia Jacobsen is an experienced beauty therapist, healer and life-skills counsellor. After knowing a bit more about yourself, if you wish, they will help you design a little schedule with yoga, meditation, Reiki, fitness, massages or other treatments to increase your strengths and lower your weaknesses!

The Amrita restaurant offers nutritionally balanced Asian-Mediterranean menus with healthy, organic food. Room-service is available too.

This is the perfect place to recover from your busy life surrounded by nature and still so close to buzzling Marbella and Puerto Banus.
