They are designed and furnished to provide our guests with maximum comfort while respecting the environment.  Each tent is gracefully decorated with handcrafted furniture in local materials, with verandas facing the river. The twelve spacious double tents can become quadruples, so the capacity of the hotel can sleep 24 to 36 guests.

The onsite restaurant has a spectacular view of the river, and the tables are very close to the large outdoor pool. Guests can enjoy themselves in the infinity pool, which has sun beds on the terrace. There is a well-stocked bar with a shared lounge with a variety of refreshments, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, that wind up your evening while overlooking the stunning river Galana.
