Dug into the hillside

A tribal-style cave carved into a mossy mound, with round windows and an arched wooden door. Grass grows on the roof; banana and coffee plants crowd in on every side.

Cool, quiet, underground

Inside, textured walls glow amber under hanging lamps. A queen bed and a sofa bed sleep four, with an attached bathroom, air conditioning and fast Wi-Fi for when you need it.

A waterfall at your door

The bedroom opens onto a private, open-air pool, about four feet deep and fed by a little waterfall. It's filtered, at room temperature, and looks out over the plantation.
