The space
🌿 About this space
Xanadu is a forest-view cabin built for rest, reconnection, and calm. Nestled above the village of Parlatuvier on Tobago’s north coast, this peaceful space invites you to unwind in nature without giving up comfort.

Wake up to birdsong, soak in the sunshine on your private poolside deck, take a forest walk to a secluded waterfall, or simply spend the day doing nothing at all.

Whether you're here for remote work, a romantic reset, solo reflection, or a meaningful time with your small family, Xanadu offers space to breathe and be.

This is not a resort, it’s a retreat. A place to slow down, stay present, and feel taken care of by nature.

Where you’ll be

Parlatuvier, Tobago, Trinidad & Tobago

Parlatuvier is a small fishing village on Tobago’s north coast, known for its calm bay, friendly community, and strong connection to local traditions. The name comes from French origins, dating back to colonial times when the area was part of a French settlement.

Just a few minutes from Xanadu, Parlatuvier Bay is great for swimming, snorkeling, and watching fishermen at work. Nearby, you’ll also find Englishman’s Bay and Castara, two other coastal villages with beaches, food spots, and small shops.

The area is quiet and local, with a focus on nature, sea, and simple Caribbean living.
