From the beginnings in 2006.....
Hussain and Volker in the Fusion-Cafe on Lighthouse Beach in 2006 discussing the idea of Muringa Vila
The construction of the building started in 2006 after a year of dreaming, discussing and pondering options. Successively during the following years the building process took shape and as of today, there are three finished floors with room for 12-16 guests, yoga hall, roof garden and an outside sitting area with the Little Shanti Coffee Shop.
During the winter season of 2009/10 the first visitors could enjoy life with us on the airy balconies facing a lush coconut tree cladded valley which opens up to the Arabian Sea, only a hundred steps away...but above their heads the construction process kept on going.
During winter season 2010/11 the third floor and the coffee shop have been finished for occupation and the roof garden materialized as wonderful as expected.
Well, we are almost there. The following year, 2011/12, we finally built the sitting area in the front, started planting flowers and dining outside. Yes, it was fun when the Coffee Shop opened its doors... we were all smiles!
The winter season 20012/13 has been a busy one. From end of October till end of March the house was occupied by a great mix of people from Germany, Holland, Nepal, Denmark, USA, South Africa, Malaysia, France, and Kasachstan. And 2013/14 seems to start for us in September already. Great.
