We really took our time in finding the perfect location to build Zen Retreat. Beachside was an option but for us when we visited this spot set in the bush and surrounded by flowers, palm trees and all the sounds of the birds and other wildlife. It was a no brainer and Zen was created. It's hard to describe in words how amazing this place is. You really have to come and experience for yourself.
Zen really is Zen. and as soon as you arrive through the reception gate we guarantee you will immediately forget of any worries you may have.
That's the Zen promise.
