Villa Umande

Umande Villa (Swahili for Dewdrop) is our cozy 1 bedroom villa. A perfectly formed hideaway surrounded by tropical flowering gardens, outside seating area and private plunge pool. This superior room includes a luxurious en-suite bathroom with waterfall shower and the Xanadu dome design giving an incredible sense of space and light.
