The Art of Opening a Coconut – Machete Style
The easiest and most satisfying way to open a fresh coconut is with a machete. It takes a little skill, but once you get the hang of it, there's nothing quite like slicing open a coconut straight from the tree. I recently shared this on Instagram, where I cracked open a coconut, poured in some rum, and enjoyed the ultimate island refreshment after a full day of working on the master suite.
Check it out here:
It’s one of those simple island pleasures—a perfect way to cool down after a day in the sun, refresh, and take in the natural beauty of our tropical retreat.
