More Than a Stay
At IVY by MAKANI, we believe in creating moments that linger long after you leave. Every element of your stay has been thoughtfully designed to reconnect you with nature, yourself, and what matters most.
The Setting
Perched in the mountains of Annaya, Byblos, IVY by MAKANI enjoys a privileged location facing the sacred St. Charbel Monastery. The crisp mountain air, the sound of rustling leaves, and the spiritual calm of the surroundings create an atmosphere of profound peace. Here, time moves differently — slower, more intentionally.
Outdoor Living
Each bungalow features its own private pool or jacuzzi, where you can float under the stars or watch the sunrise paint the mountains gold. The wooden terraces invite you to dine alfresco, while the surrounding nature trails offer peaceful walks through pine forests and wildflower meadows.
Interior Comfort
Step inside and discover warm wood interiors that embrace you like a hug. The crackling fireplace becomes the heart of winter evenings, while plush bedding and modern amenities ensure your comfort year-round. Every detail has been carefully curated — from the hand-selected textiles to the ambient lighting.
Four Seasons
IVY by MAKANI belongs to all seasons. Spring arrives with wildflowers and birdsong from the valley. Summer evenings stretch long by the pool. Autumn turns the mountains amber. And in the cooler months, the mountain air sharpens and the fireplaces inside become the heart of everything.
