HIDEOUT HORIZON X ECO BAMBOO HOME

Hideout Horizon is an all bamboo-home with open space design, on the ground floor, you can find a neat, fully equipped kitchen with stove and smaller fridge, cozy living/relaxing area (with extra hanging hammock), bathroom with outdoor shower, and indoor-outdoor plunge pool, covered from rain by large overhanging grass roof.
It is a very playful and adventurous space – with large net overhanging the pool, you can climb up there by bamboo shelves or get there through the master bed.
Following the bamboo ramp, it leads you to a large round bed (240cm wide) with two-layer mosquito net, providing safety and privacy.

If you want to stay here, I suggest you book it waaaaaay in advance as it’s almost always fully booked.
