oceanside property.

Well back from
the beach above the palms, tranquil Italian-run Paradesh Inn resembles a Greek island
hideaway - a whitewashed house highlighted in blue. Each of the six fan-cooled rooms
has a hanging chair outside, there are sweeping views from the rooftop, fab breakfasts and
satya
cooking ('yoga food') for guests.

Indeed in the treetops high above
the beach next to Paradesh Inn, this friendly expat-owned place is a breath of fresh air.
The three bright, sparkling-clean rooms have hanging chairs on the terraces, TVs, hot wa-
ter, and rooftop views; yoga classes available. Definitely call ahead to book.

More of a
quiet retreat than a palace, this quirky Dutch-owned place has more character than most,
with wooden furnishings, including the odd four-poster bed, and a separate cottage in the
garden. The breakfast terrace is hung with chintzy chandeliers.
