About this space

Found behind the HAP Càfe, this secret back room is a sun-drenched haven for big ideas and small-scale affairs. Fill it with sunlight, tropical flora, and some warm wooden finishes, and it would resemble more broadly as a creative lounge than a meeting room. Toss the furniture about, get comfortable, and see where the conversations take you (or daydreams).

This room is perfect for:
- Business meetings & brainstorming sessions
- Creative workshops & training
- Book clubs, study groups & community meetups
- Small private celebrations
