Traveling with a Group? Rent Both Studios!

Need a second room? A Place in the Sun can be rented alongside its neighboring sister studio on the estate, Suite Papaya. While both units share the estate's outdoor amenities, they each maintain their own private kitchenettes, bathrooms, and independent living spaces. Renting both studios together is the perfect setup for friends or families traveling together who want plenty of shared space alongside total privacy.
