THE NOBU VIEW

The stay

Jua House is a seven-room Shela bed-and-breakfast with rooftop views, an in-house bakery and thoughtfully furnished rooms. Doubles, a queen-bedded Single and a Rooftop Suite span three floors.

Jua House is a seven-room bed-and-breakfast in Shela village, with an emphasis on carefully furnished rooms, generous breakfasts and views from two rooftop terraces. The beach is reached on foot, making this a village stay rather than a room directly on the waterfront.

Five Double rooms are joined by a Single room and a Rooftop Suite. The doubles offer king or twin beds, while the Single has a queen bed and a writing table. The Rooftop Suite adds a private balcony, outdoor shower and a daybed sitting corner. Rooms are spread over three floors, each with shared space for sitting or breakfast, a fridge and a kettle.

Breakfast includes homemade products and bread from the house bakery, with afternoon coffee or tea and cake described on the roof. Fans, WiFi and ensuite bathrooms support a simple, comfortable island rhythm without the scale of a large resort. Nobu would consider Jua House for couples or solo travellers who want to explore Shela and return to a personal B&B setting.
