The walk in

The house appears between the trees.

White walls and a woven thatch roof glimpsed through dense coconut palms

The porch

Thatch overhead, timber underfoot.

Morning coffee out front, the palms all around.

The front porch under a deep fringe of thatch, with timber railings and chairs

Inside

Room to live slowly.

A full kitchen, a bedroom on the garden floor, music, cool air. The house is furnished the way the founder keeps her own home: the kitchen fitted with Smeg and Greenpan, linen curtains at the windows, organic cotton and linen on the beds, marble and carved wood in the small things your hands find.

The kitchen: terrazzo counter, cream toaster and kettle, timber cabinets, gas stove

A cream speaker and ceramic lamp on a timber shelf

The loft

Sleep under the beams.

Upstairs, a wide bed in the peak of the roof, and an old silk Persian rug underfoot.

The loft bedroom: a wide bed beneath exposed timber A-frame beams

The shower

Rinse off over ocean stones.

A walk-in shower lit by the garden window. An outdoor shower under the sky is being built beside the grove.

The outdoor rooms

The land is still becoming.

Dine under the stars. An outdoor dining room is being laid beneath the open sky; until it is ready, the porch table serves the same sunset.

Train in the grove. Pull-up bars, dip bars, open air, in a pocket of the land being planted into its own small grove.

Rinse under the sky. The outdoor shower rises beside it.

Ground breaks on the wider sanctuary beyond the palms in March. Staying now means staying in the beginning.

The land

The land feeds the table.

A vegetable garden grows across the land, and what is ready is yours to pick and cook. A caretaker lives here and tends the place every day; the house is looked after even when you are the only guest on the land.

And you will be met at the gate by Tom and Jerry, two young dogs the land adopted as pups and kept. They consider the garden theirs. They are friendly, they are gentle, and they will walk you home.

The story

Stay in the beginning.

This house is the first room of The Sanctuary. The rest is being built around it, slowly and in the open: ground breaks beyond the palms in March, and what rises will be a place for retreat and return. Until then, the casita is yours alone, the loft under the beams, the ocean stones, the kitchen, the palms at every window. Stay now, and you will be able to say you were here when it was one small house.
