Life revolves around the rooftop deck, where a saltwater infinity pool looks out over yachts moored in the harbour.
What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
...it splits the difference between beachy resort chic and urban design-hotel cool.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The waterfront promenade sits right outside, and the cobbled lanes of the walled old town are a short stroll away.
The rooms
Every room opens onto a private balcony or terrace looking toward the marina or the old town.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The rooftop saltwater infinity pool is heated from November to March, looking past palm trees to the marina.
Restaurant
Avenida Restaurante
Chef Roeland Klein serves local seafood and aged beef, with counter seating facing the open kitchen.
At the table
The rooftop bar mixes cocktails and pours wine on the open deck beside the pool.
How it began
The building originally served as a military mess hall before a local family converted it into a hotel in 2018.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
