THE TRUE NORTH presents… Bessa Ocean View Villa | 2BR | Oracabessa ➠ U55
Your own private villa, surrounded by tropical gardens and the Caribbean.
One of twelve standalone villas at Bessa, U55 offers the privacy of a private residence with the ease of a professionally managed stay. Step outside and you are surrounded by manicured gardens, tall palms, the signature lagoon-style pool, and the Caribbean Sea just beyond the estate.
