Florblanca

Mal País & Santa Teresa


Truly in a class of their own, these romantic villas are scattered around 3 hectares of land next to a pristine white-sand beach. Indoor-outdoor spaces are flooded with natural light, and are replete with stylish design, from the open-air bathrooms to the sunken indoor-outdoor living areas. Perks include complimentary yoga, bikes and surfboards. An isolated location, 4km north of the intersection.

The sensational restaurant Nectar is also highly recommended. The hotel has scored 4 out of 5 'leaves' in the national eco-sustainability rating, and endeavors to benefit the local community.
