Onsea House
Onsea House provides exclusivity and privacy. Each room has a serene colonial feel and is beautifully furnished with a luxurious four-poster bed (or twin) elegantly draped in mosquito netting. All have their own en-suite bathrooms with a bath and shower. The terraces offer a breath of fresh air after writing in your journal on your wooden desk.
Onsea House is known for its culinary excellence. Freshly made brasserie dishes are accompanied by the finest wines. Michelin skilled chef Axel Janssens will prepare a fusion of exquisite European and African delights and seasonal specialities.
