Perched above the treeline on our highest floor, this spacious 2-bedroom apartment offers a 110-degree panoramic ocean view, high-speed connectivity, coastal adventure, and jungle tranquility.

From your private balcony, you can even hear the ocean. Just a 5-minute walk from La Lora surf break, you’ll be close to the beach and top restaurants—yet tucked away from dust and noise.
