The bedroom itself is some 60sq m and has magnificent panoramic views both up and down the coast.

Continuing up the stairs to the roof level, our guests will find the perfect place to relax in the evening, the views from the flat roof will allow them to watch the sun set over the island and rise over the Ocean.

Activities- Venture out across the coral reef which unfolds like a carpet at the foot of our beach steps and explore the marine life amongst its tidal pools; visit fishing villages just next door where you'll be warmly welcomed by the inhabitants.
Witness the morning rituals of the local women farming seaweed and the fishermen returning with their catch.
And in the hazy late afternoons, lie back and listen to the lively melodies of children singing as they gather cockles and mussels in the shallows. |
|
|
Bicycles are available for hire and are an ideal way to cruise around the local area and become a part of this rhythmic tropical tapestry.

| easily arrange recreational scuba diving, PADI courses, snorkelling, fishing, boat trips and wind surfing. | |||
