The peninsula is imagined as a framework where friends build their own bungalows on their own part of the terrain, mixing with economists, artists, scientists and researchers on temporary residencies.
Pointe Limbé is a place to retreat into your own corner of an incredible landscape, or to take part in the sustainable development projects the residency hopes to launch in the surrounding area.

Privacy
The bungalow design and the sloping topography work together to give each bungalow a sense of privacy.
