Domloc is actually a time-share vacation club, but it’s run like a hotel – a cool hotel indeed, with eight well-appointed, fully equipped villas. They’re closely packed but are buffered by lush gardens, and the beach is just a few steps away from the property. Prices fluctuate wildly according to seasons and school holidays. Free kayaks. Cash only.
It’s perfect for families as most villas can sleep between four and six people.
