The house

Your home by the ocean.

Asili means origin in Swahili, and it fits. This is a peaceful, family-friendly retreat on Tiwi Beach, where tropical gardens run down to the sand and the days move at the pace of the tide.

Four en-suite bedrooms, spacious indoor–outdoor living, a covered gazebo, a rooftop lounge and a private pool. A warm, dedicated team looks after the rest, from the first coffee to the last sundowner.

Looked after

A home, with a team.

01

A full-time chef

Every meal is prepared for you. The chef runs the kitchen; you’re welcome to the fridge, freezer, toaster and microwave for light snacks and drinks.

02

Mary, your house manager

Your main point of contact. Daily housekeeping, room cleaning, turndown and laundry, with the team close by but giving you your privacy.

03

Safe and private

The whole home, pool, gardens and beach path are yours alone. Night guards are on site, and a panic button is available for emergencies.

Everything included

The details.

Good to know

Easy, with a few house notes.

Asili House sits lightly on the coast. A few things to help you settle in.
