Maneri Villa - Second Floor Apartment

Welcome to Maneri Villa - Second Floor Apartment

Maneri Villa is a charming part of the three-villa Hacienda Cresta Complex. The building is easily identified by its distinctive green roof. Nestled on a developing 18-acre coconut and fruit plantation, this tranquil retreat combines nature and comfort, making it an ideal escape for families and friends.


Villa Design:

Maneri Villa is a single house that can be conveniently split into upstairs and downstairs independent apartments. These can be easily joined together into one spacious home through an internal staircase, making it ideal for larger groups or families seeking both privacy and connection. Additionally, there is a separate external staircase providing independent access to the second floor, offering flexibility and privacy for guests.

The Second Floor apartment has two bedrooms: one with a king-sized bed and an ensuite, and another with two double beds. It also has an additional bathroom, a cozy living room with a kitchen and dining area. The Second Floor also features a balcony overlooking the lush surroundings with a sea view, perfect for catching sunsets and sunrises.

The Second Floor apartment has shared access to the garden and swimming pool, offering the perfect setting for enjoying breakfast in the morning.


Prime Location:

Just a 5-minute walk from the local fisherman’s beach, the villa offers stunning sunset views over the Indian Ocean. The villa is surrounded by lush greenery on the expansive 18-acre developing fruit farm, complete with cattle, chickens, goats, a small spice garden, a vegetable patch, friendly cats, and five watch dogs (the dogs are not free-roaming). A picturesque stream runs adjacent to the complex, enhancing the peaceful atmosphere.


Swimming Pool:

Relax and unwind in the 8x4m attached swimming pool, which lights up beautifully at night. Perfect for family fun and soaking up the sun. This secluded pool is exclusively available to guests of Maneri Villa. Poolside amenities include an outdoor shower, a couple's swing, a hammock, coffee tables, and sun loungers.


Sustainable and Self-Sufficient Living:

The site operates primarily off-grid, generating its own solar electricity and managing water drainage and sewage independently, offering an eco-friendly and sustainable stay. Separate bins are provided for organic and plastic waste, both of which are recycled responsibly.


Convenient Dining Options:
