323 Situated between Palm House and the madarasa, this renovated colonial era house creates a unique atmosphere. Designed in a traditional Arabic style with a central courtyard and rooftop lounging area, the rooms are next to bougainvillea covered walkways. The house is well shaded with plants. It is an old house of great character, with ample room for two families. There are five ensuite bedrooms, sleeping up to 11; three double bedrooms, another with two large four- poster single beds and a smaller single bedroom. Adjoining the major suite there is a nursery room with a cot and two beds. WHYWE LIKE IT We love the feeling of space and spending time up on the rooftops- eating, sunbathing, playing cards, or just gazing out to sea or up at the night sky. The second floor terrace is a great games area, or reading area for the small library of books.
