HARMONY STUDIOS
(See Maho Bay Camps)
A step up from Maho Bay Camps, both literally and figura-
tively, Harmony Studios are perched on the hill above
Maho's tent-cottages. The second of Stanley Selengut's
eco-resorts provides its guests with more creature comforts,
such as private baths, but maintains the same “green” con-
cept. Harmony was built using recycled materials and great
care was taken to minimize tree loss during construction.
Electricity is generated by the sun and roof wind scoops
draw cool air into the studio.
There are a dozen studios housed in six two-story buildings.
The Bedroom Studios have two twin beds, kitchenettes with
microwaves, appliances and utensils, a dining area, tiled
bath and a deck facing the sea. Rollaway beds are available
so these studios can sleep three. The Living Room Studios
are larger, with a queen-size bed and two twin beds, plus all
the other amenities above. All studios share tile floors and
undyed cotton fabrics. South American handicrafts add a
splash of color. Harmony's guests share all of Maho's facili-
ties, including the watersports programs and cultural
events. The rates are higher here but still moderate.
