Stay

Four Bungalows.
One Long Table.

Six and a half acres of spice gardens. Four private bungalows. A long dining table where stories, meals and friendships come together.

At The Pimenta, each bungalow sits within the greenery, offering a private connection to the garden. All four are thoughtfully designed with twin beds, en-suite bathrooms, solar-heated hot water and air conditioning—while each has its own character, outlook and way of entering.

For those who prefer a little more space, our Machil Rooms in the main house offer generous accommodation with access to a long, open veranda overlooking the gardens.

A Small Estate. A Personal Stay. We deliberately keep The Pimenta intimate. When different parties are staying with us, we limit occupancy to 8 guests, allowing everyone enough space, privacy and time to enjoy the gardens without feeling crowded. For exclusive whole-property bookings, we can comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests in the main beds, with space for 3 additional guests in shared rooms. Ideal for families, yoga retreats, student groups and private gatherings.
