Don’t let the steep narrow driveway scare you off. Once you make it to the top, you’ll find a collection of refined bungalows at this couples-only retreat from this growing brand with chic hotels popping up around the country. Every bungalow is different, but all feature airy layouts, large kitchenettes or full kitchens, and French doors that open onto a private plunge pool with panoramic ocean and jungle views. Antique dressers and nightstands, four-poster beds, and Balinese lamps are all part of the swank decor. The bungalows are spread over a steep hillside, and those farthest from the main lodge and restaurant are a bit of a hike. The food here is standout, with a set menu consisting of a few unique options every night, usually involving the fusion of local ingredients with recipes from around the globe.
