Set in the hills, among tall trees and with ocean views, this elegant guesthouse is the epitome of hip. Light-filled rooms are simple and supremely comfortable, but the main draw is the expansive sunset terrace. The main building also hosts a cafe, bar and workshop space. A healthy breakfast is included; other meals are available by reservation.
