Why we recommend Makanda by the Sea
Ideal for adults seeking privacy, the resort has just a handful of villas, studios and suites, each with a balcony and/or terrace overlooking the jungle and ocean. If you can, opt for one with a plunge pool. The location is perfectly situated near to town and integrated into the rainforest, surrounded by exotic birds and wildlife, which also adds to the feeling of privacy.
