Design & Atmosphere
SANU is a place where design and nature come together. Almost everything is made of wood — from the walls to the furniture — creating a warm, natural atmosphere. The cabins are intentionally tucked away in the forest, so you’re fully surrounded by trees and immersed in nature.

Architecture & Features
The architecture is incredible, with thoughtful details everywhere. The kitchen is fully equipped, making it easy to cook your own meals, and the outdoor fireplace is a wonderful touch for evenings. Inside, the wooden interiors even enhance sound — the projector and speakers feel richer and more immersive because of it.

Things to Note
While SANU is beautiful, there are a few points to keep in mind:

  • The spaces can feel a bit small for larger Western guests.

  • Accessibility is difficult without a car.

  • Since it was designed mainly for locals, small details like trash disposal are more complex than a hotel stay.

Overall
If you love nature, wood, and architecture, SANU is a fantastic place to stay. It’s cozy, inspiring, and truly one of the most thoughtfully designed accommodations I’ve experienced.
