Our Story
Mario and Cristiana stumbled upon the land for Utopia
during a getaway trip in Indonesia. Captivated by its mazing view point, they envisioned creating a self-sustaining oasis on a hill. The Pride Rock Suite emerged, followed by an organic garden, 5 more suites, and a cobblestone deck with pool.
Aimone is Mario’s and Cristiana’s youngest son and the founder of Utopia Rote. Originally from Italy, he spent his early years in South Africa, catching waves and skating the streets of Cape Town. He's deeply passionate about permaculture and has a talent for crafting mouth-watering, gourmet meals.
AC is new in town and the manager at Utopia Rote from the 2024 season onwards. Born in Venezuela and raised in Southern Germany where there were no waves she decided to travel the world in search for the right place to call home with epic waves. AC is a talented masseuse, yoga teacher, and speaks 6 languages.
