Gonana Guesthouse: Queen Room with Pool View

Hugging the shores of a private beach in the tranquil area of Bek Bay, this eco-chic guesthouse is the epitome of a serene seaside escape. Swedish entrepreneur Jonas Sandström’s beach house boasts a stylish Scandi-African aesthetic inspired by the surrounding elements of sea, sand and sky, providing the perfect backdrop to unwind in style. Sip your morning coffee on the soft sand next to the waves after a sumptuous breakfast, or soak up the incredible sunset (there really is nothing like it!) with a crisp glass of bubbly before enjoying dinner at one of the wonderful nearby restaurants. Heaven on Earth!

Good to know
There are also two off-grid beach houses for self-catering guests. Children over 12 are welcome, and the upstairs Triple Room is ideal for three adults or a family with one older child.
