spaces merge. Windows are open to the sounds of birds, frogs and
insects. Some of the showers open to the sky. At Balenbouche you

not only that of nature, but also of historic architecture and aesthetic
detail.

is known. Meals are prepared with love and beauty - ingredients
as essential as the fare at each memorable meal. Dishes are inspired
by Creole, Asian and European cuisine. The superb meals are served
on the verandah accompanied by beautiful floral arrangements of
tropical flowers.
