Come and experience the magic of the mountainside amidst nearly 900 cacao trees. The Emerald Haven offers all of the amenities of modern living with the experience of being surrounded by nature. See nothing but the forest outside of every window, enjoy practicing yoga or lounging in the screened-in living room, prepare meals with full-sized appliances in our fully equipped kitchen, or choose to have our private chef prepare meals for you. The space is decorated with teak wood furnishings and has tall ceilings and windows that offer the experience of living in the jungle.
