Arboura Eco Cabins

Uvita


Right next to Flutterby House, this funky little newcomer offers four A-frame cabin hideaways with big windows. Surrounded by a lush garden, each comes with a couch area, kitchen and an outside shower, and some have air-con. Guests can use a gorgeous pool, ping pong table, and the house bikes. Cash only. It's three minutes from the Marino Ballena beaches.
