Description from owner

Description

With a beautiful beach, amazing views and fresh, cosy furnishings, Hibiscus Beach Retreat offers barefoot luxury, privacy and exclusivity at its best!

A world away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. One private chalet engulfed by tropical plants...the soft white sand below...a stay at the Hibiscus Beach Retreat is the kind of tropical fantasy that everyone dreams about.

Perched on a small cliff top, providing unrivalled views of the South China Sea, Hibiscus Beach Retreat is a one bedroom self-contained chalet, perfect for couples and small families.

It's all about the Experience...

Wake up in the morning, enjoy a breakfast of coffee, cereal, bread and local fruits. Then walk down the steps to a secluded beach - go swimming, snorkeling or enjoy a stroll.. Have lunch, which can be delivered, and have a siesta in the hammock or sunbathe on the deck. Alternatively, go jungle trekking, mountain biking, mangrove touring. But make sure you return in time to watch the sun go down with a chilled glass of wine before cooking on your own BBQ or ordering some great local food, from one of the nearby restaurants.
