2 Bedroom Suite for Larger Families

Perfect for larger families or those who simply like a little extra space, this two-bedroom suite offers everything you need to feel at home — and relaxed — during your ilo retreat.

Each bedroom features a king-size bed and its own ensuite bathroom, giving everyone a bit of privacy (and no morning queue for the shower). The rooms are connected by a bright living area with a kitchenette, ideal for slow breakfasts, bedtime stories, or an afternoon siesta.

In the living room, we can comfortably set up two twin beds, making this suite suitable for up to six guests — even seven if you’re cozy.

Located on the ground floor with a private entrance separate from the main house, the suite offers both convenience and quiet — a perfect balance of community and your own space
