When you submit a message through our contact form, we collect the details you provide so we can respond to your request and communicate with you regarding your enquiry. Please avoid sending sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for your request or booking.

4. Booking engine

When you use our booking engine, we may collect the information necessary to process your reservation, such as guest name, contact details, arrival and departure dates, accommodation preferences, number of guests, and special requests.

If the booking engine is operated by a third-party reservation or payment provider, your data may also be processed under that provider’s privacy policy and terms. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of the booking or payment partner where applicable.

5. WhatsApp communication

If you contact us using the WhatsApp button on our Website, your communication is processed through WhatsApp, which is a third-party platform. Information shared through WhatsApp is also subject to WhatsApp’s own privacy practices and terms.

We use WhatsApp to respond to enquiries, provide customer support, assist with bookings, and communicate regarding our services.

7. Cookies and analytics

Our Website may use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, analyse visitor activity, improve website functionality, and understand how users interact with our pages.

If we use analytics tools such as Google Analytics, those tools may collect and process usage data according to their own terms and privacy practices.

8. Legal basis and consent

Where required by applicable law, we process personal data based on your consent, your voluntary submission of information for a specified purpose, the performance of services requested by you, or our legal obligations.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or operational requirements that may allow us to retain certain information.

9. Sharing of personal data

We do not sell your personal data.

We may share your information with trusted service providers who support our operations, such as:

  • Website hosting or maintenance providers
  • Booking engine or reservation partners
  • Payment processors, if applicable
  • Email or newsletter service providers
  • Analytics or technical support providers
  • Professional advisors or authorities where disclosure is required by law

Such sharing is limited to what is reasonably necessary for those purposes.

10. Data retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to enquiries, managing bookings, sending subscribed communications, resolving disputes, and meeting legal or regulatory obligations.

When personal data is no longer required, and where retention is not required by law, we will delete, erase, or anonymise it within a reasonable period.

  • Request access to your personal data
