Nature is the essence of the architectural concept, co-existing with Caribbean lush surroundings to form the perfect ecological paradise. Guests like to think of Natura Cabana as a spiritual renewal center in which to relax and re-energize, a romantic getaway, or just a place to meet up with close friends and loved ones
