The Bedarra Experience
Bedarra offers an unparalelled escape to enjoy rest, relaxation and precious shared time together.
We pride ourselves on offering unique experiences without equal. Enjoy a candlelit dinner for two on your own private beachfront deck, pack a chef-prepared gourmet hamper in your own dinghy for a romantic picnic on one of the nearby deserted islands or simply disappear into a hammock with a book while being serenaded by the soundtrack of swaying palms and gentle waves.
Accommodation
Bedarra features only twelve guest villas, each hidden amongst the tropical rainforest and enjoying spectacular ocean views.
All villas on Bedarra offer their own unique experience, each being slightly different from the others. Some villas are situated literally a few steps from the beach, several feature private infinity edge plunge pools, some have outdoor rainforest bathrooms and some offer expansive private sundecks and daybeds...
While each of our villas is unique, they all offer a true escape from civilisation, a private sanctuary of solitude and relaxation to revitalise the soul - and the ultimate in barefoot luxury.
Dining
The open terrace restaurant, bar and lounge are the heart and soul of Bedarra, where guests converge to indulge in a delicious and ever-changing menu or to gather at the legendary open bar. An exquisite menu (that changes daily) is matched with hand picked wines from our extensive selection.
