Why we built it.
Nova & Nest started with a simple frustration: most mountain accommodation in Lebanon is either a dated chalet or an overpriced hotel that could be anywhere. We wanted to build something that made sense only here — in Faraiya, on this hillside, with this view.
The hexagonal corten steel shell is not decoration. Corten steel weathers naturally and doesn't need painting. The hexagonal grid is structurally efficient and visually distinctive. Both choices came from wanting things to age well and look like they belong to the mountain, not fight it.
We run two units: Nova 1 and Nova 2. Both are privately managed. Bookings go through WhatsApp — because we'd rather have a quick conversation than lose you to a booking form. If you have questions, just message us.
Design
The building is the experience. Every material was chosen to age well and look better for it.
Calm
No reception desk. No lobby music. Just the mountain and the sound of the fire.
Privacy
You don't share the space with strangers. Each unit is entirely yours.
Lebanon
We're in one of the most beautiful countries in the world. The location isn't a backdrop — it's the reason.
