In the Master Bedroom the 6ft 6in wide x 7ft long four poster bed, is draped in mosquito netting. The floor is in coral stone and the curtains are bamboo silk. Wide double doors have netted opening louvres in the lower section. This allows for closure with air-con on, or opening with the overhead fan cooling the room. To either side of the doors there are writing desk/dressing tables, one with a view from a window and the other with a large carved Indian mirror. This bedroom is beyond the seating area on the covered terrace, screened by palms, and has its own part of the shaded terrace with an open area sweeping round for sunbathing. The view over the ocean reaching to the horizon is panoramic, the light changing over the water until the setting of the sun. As Mahatma Ghandi said 'When I admire the wonder of a sunset, or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in worship of the Creator.'
