LIGHTWATER GUESTHOUSE

Inviting, majestic, and architecturally stunning, Lightwater is our flagship guesthouse. A seamless intertwining of handcrafted wood and light is perched over orchards, ponds and streams—all looking out towards a vast ocean expanse. Spectacular ocean views, island artisan-crafted beds and sustainably salvaged fir wood trim and flooring brighten all the Lightwater guest rooms.
