Affording unobstructed views of the sea, 1884's exclusive location alone is a major draw. The charming little boutique hotel is a spa-style building complex composed of Villa Mathilde and the adjoining Villa Olga. It is also home to a chic restaurant with modern and minimalist interior design and a fabulous terrace. In the kitchen, Nelson Müller's team prepares flavoursome and pleasingly uncomplicated dishes from fresh, good-quality ingredients. Soul food would be an apt label for this cuisine.
