Yakuti earns its name. Named for the Swahili word for ruby, it carries a quiet intensity with cool ocean tones in its interiors, a private pool that catches the equatorial light, and a rooftop where the Indian Ocean spreads to the horizon like a reward for slowing down.
A private one-bedroom retreat in Bweleo for two people who want to disappear into something beautiful. Or one person who wants it all to themselves.
