It was a beautiful slow down of life. The resort is an eco oasis where you are waking up to waves or rain. The common areas encourage rest, fun, connection, meeting new people & enjoying life. The staff are gems who are friendly & willing to help with anything that will make your stay special.

“I would like to come again.”
The place is amazing. Resort is situated in front of the beach and it have amazing sunset view. It dosent have AirCon which gives you feeling of more natural and near to nature. The huts are made of wood and bamboo which stays cool in hot sun and also make air to flow around.

“Chalet on the beach with the jungle nearby, quiet, amazing chill playlist, great cocktails”
The location on the beach, with the jungle just at the door was amazing. Quiet and beautiful. The food was always tasty, no matter the specific cuisine (European or Asian). The cocktails, amazing. And the music in the common space, probably the best beach playlist ever. Loved it! And the snorkelling trip at the nearby island is a must.

“Peaceful island paradise”
We loved everything about it, so much so that we extended our stay. The setting was stunning and it retained the natural beauty of the island. From the moment we saw it as we approached on the boat, we knew we didn’t want any to leave. The staff were welcoming and helpful. It was perfect for our toddler!
