About Solana Bay
Family-run on the quiet side of Isla Serena since 1998.
A family, an island and a very beautiful bay
In 1998 the Navarro family opened eight bungalows on a stretch of beach that most islanders had never visited. Word spread slowly, then all at once.
Today Solana Bay has 42 rooms, suites and villas, but the spirit has not changed: simple, warm and close to nature.
