Latitude 10 Resort

Rooms

There are just 5 casitas, which are hidden in jungle so pristine that not a single tree was cut down to build them. Each is a little colonial plantation house carved from dark almond wood and carefully placed in the overgrown foliage to preserve perfect privacy, with secluded porches.

The romantic feel continues inside, with canopy beds decorated with Balinese textiles and hung with mosquito nets. Both the Master Suites and the Premium Junior Suite have kingsize beds; the Junior Suites have queensize beds. The Master Suites are largest, as their lounge area has 2 daybeds and a dining table for 4 people.

There’s no air conditioning, but all sides of the casitas are open to the ocean breezes thanks to louvered doors, and there are little bamboo blinds you can lower, so you’re unlikely to get too hot. There are comfortable rattan recliners and carved wooden settles upholstered in Javanese-inspired linens, next to walls in bold mustards and deep green, with stained glass windows. Bright contemporary paintings and stylish sitting areas with 1920s-inspired lamps and elegant sofas create a relaxing atmosphere.

The open-sky bathrooms are huge and gloriously open to the elements, but thankfully completely private. The showers are good and hot, and the design is contemporary. Natural, organic and biodegradable toiletries are provided by a local company and are deliciously aromatic.

Bathrobes, safe boxes and well-stocked complimentary minibars are provided; there are fresh flowers, too. Daybeds in 4 of the casitas can be made up as extra beds for families, but note that none of the bedrooms can be converted to twins. There are no televisions or phones to disturb the atmosphere of seclusion and silence, but WiFi is available throughout the resort.
