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.
Who Sala Beach House suits
It suits couples and special occasions in the main house, which takes children over 12, while families with younger children and small groups use the private three-bedroom villa. The property runs on solar power with generator backup, and King Shaka International is the nearest airport.
