The stay

Barefoot luxury on a very small scale

Sala has just seven rooms and suites in the main house plus a private three-bedroom villa. The small scale, ocean outlooks and spa make it one of the Dolphin Coast's strongest honeymoon and boutique-luxury choices.

For privacy and personal service

Choose it for couples and special occasions, or for a small family or group taking the private villa.
