A sense of calm envelops you the moment you step on the gentle slope down to the Walatta House.
The house itself is barely visible here, only glimpses of coconut-tree columns and raw red brickwork peering between the trees and foliage.
Rising from the grassy slope an entryway leads you down through a cool tunnel of natural bricks, before opening out onto a stunning vista: an expansive living space and long infinity pool, looking out onto the wide ocean and the sky beyond as the landscape falls away down to the secluded beach below.
