Description
This is a project that started 5 years ago as a business of kayak rentals, since it was a beautiful spot thats close to the entrance of rio istiam. since then it has developed to a popular beach spot and developed into a restaurant and a bar with beautiful chill zones around it. in the past year another partner was joined to the business and it became a project thats owned by 2 locals, Jose luis and Rudy, and 1 foreigner - Ishay. That move started paving paving the way to a big remodelation of the project and the plan to construct a beach hostel/hotel with a co-work space, yoga deck on the water, sunset platform high on the trees, natural pool, vooleyball court, ping pong and foosball and an impressive garden with both dorms and private rooms around it.
This ambitious project has started to take form since september 2022 and since then we managed to finish the construction of the new bar and restaurant and are soon going to develop our next projects, when the construction of the first dorms would take place in coming may 2023.
The beach has pricesless sunsets and offer kayak tours that allow you to explore the flora and fauna of the island in depth. we want to grow this family vibe project into the perfect cozy backpacker beach and find people that can contribute to its development.
