Alternative Eco-Cabins
Our Eco-cabins are the next generation of accommodation for those seeking a premium and relaxing escape.
Gone are the days of carbon-churning hotels, dusty B&Bs, and basic glamping pods.
We think of our Eco-cabin concept as being at a crossroads where quirky interior design and smart-home tech meets eco-consciousness in a stunning island setting, creating an unforgettable travel experience.
We’re launching in early 2022.
