Beach Huts

Designed for two, each hut features a spectacular mezzanine-level bedroom with a king-size bed, along with a private terrace, sitting room, wet bar, feature fireplace and a spacious bathroom. Vast wall-to-wall glass doors flood the space with natural light and provide uninterrupted sea views, even on the dullest days.
