The Residence
Merkaba Home
A modern, Japanese-inspired retreat designed for up to five guests. Created as a place to slow down, breathe and recover, with floor-to-ceiling windows that bring canyon light, trees and sky into every room.
Natural materials — stone, hinoki, cedar, linen and warm woods — create a calm atmosphere throughout. Ideal for couples, families and small groups of friends: romantic getaways, honeymoons, anniversaries, intimate proposals, family stays and wellness escapes.
Guests have full, private access to the entire property.
