Rooms

The chalet’s three rooms are named after great navigators-Slocum, Moitessier, and Soldini.

SLOCUM
Slocum: the smallest of the three rooms but with direct access to the patio and pool. It can be requested with a king-size bed or with two single beds.

Joshua Slocum was the first U.S. navigator, to make a solo circumnavigation of the globe. On the evening of April 24, 1895, Slocum sailed the Spray from Boston without a specific destination. Three years, two months and two days later, on June 27, 1898, after a crossing of about 46,000 miles, he dropped anchor in Newport Harbor at 01:00. He had circumnavigated the globe, from east to west, passing through the Straits of Magellan and Tierra del Fuego.

MOITESSIER
Very spacious room with original Minorcan closet. It overlooks the pool and has a beautiful sea view. It can be requested with a king-size bed or two single beds.

Bernard Moitessier was a French navigator and writer, the first to circumnavigate the globe nonstop, he was a compelling writer and one of the most remarkable solo sailors. In 1963 he set out for Polynesia on a honeymoon that on the way back (taking the so-called logical route) would become an extraordinary sailing feat, the Tahiti - Alicante crossing via Cape Horn for a total of 14,000 miles nonstop. The story of the famous feat can be found recounted in his most famous book, "The Long Route," one of the world's most popular and widely read sea books, which made him a role model for entire generations of sailors.

SOLDINI
The smallest of the three rooms but with direct access to the patio and pool. It can be requested with a king-size bed or two single beds.

Giovanni Soldini is an Italian sailor and a specialist in solo sailing. He has 25 years of ocean racing behind him, including two solo round-the-world races (the Around Alone, won in 1999 and gone down in history for the rescue of Isabelle Autissier, and the 1995 Boc Challenge, where he qualified second overall), six Québec-Saint Malo (one won in the monohull category), six Ostar (two wins, 50' and 40' class), three Transat Jacques Vabre (one win in the 40' class) and more than 40 trans-ocean races. Aboard the Vor70 Maserati he set important records such as the Cadiz-San Salvador record (2012) and the New York-San Francisco Gold Route (13,225 miles in 47 days, 42'29"). He also holds the new Tea Route record (3300 miles in 21 days, 19 hours, 32', 54"), set in 2015 on the San Francisco-Shanghai route

You can’t be unhappy when you have this: the smell of the sea, the sand under your fingers, the air, the wind.
