Cuba is an island suspended in time — vibrant, layered, and full of stories. In a place where history and imagination intertwine, Villa Carmela emerges as a space of quiet elegance. Nestled in the former home of Amelia Peláez, one of the island’s most iconic avant-garde artists, this boutique hotel offers more than rest — it offers reflection, inspiration, and reverence.
With just four rooms, Villa Carmela was conceived as a living gallery: a space where design and memory meet, and intimacy becomes a new expression of luxury. Every wall, texture, and gesture pays tribute to Amelia — her bold lines, luminous colors, and unmistakable Cuban spirit. The hotel celebrates beauty not as spectacle, but as presence — rooted in culture, craft, and emotion.
NDS created a brand that honors this balance — refined yet grounded, contemporary yet deeply connected to place. A visual language shaped by curatorship, care, and cultural pride. Here, hospitality becomes homage. Design becomes dialogue. And a home becomes a beacon for a Cuba that remembers, reinvents, and continues to inspire.
