We promise breakfast with a view, tranquility, personalized service, 7 beautiful ocean view bedrooms and a magnificent roof-top deck with panoramic views of the Indian Ocean, a setting that makes staying at Ocean Vista Boutique Guest House quite memorable. Amazing sunrises, sights and sounds of the ocean, swimming pool, free fast WiFi, credit card facility, secure parking and a tranquil, elegant environment where at the end of a busy day one can unwind watching ships on the horizon from the comfort of the bed or joining other guests upstairs on the deck.

Due to nature of the property, we regret no children under 12 and not wheelchair friendly.
