The island - carefully protected as a Nature Reserve Park - is a beautiful and unspoilt destination, characterized by its wild fauna, turquoise sea and idyllic beaches. The Lodge offers a unique combination of beauty, comfort and relaxation that makes it the perfect spot for nature lovers, divers, fisherman and water sport enthusiasts.
The lodge has 40 bungalows made of 13 standard rooms of which one is a family room, 23 superior rooms of which one is a family room plus 4 suites (Bedroom and separate lounge), set amongst tropical gardens with magnificent views. All rooms are in “A-frame” thatched chalets, which are positioned along a walkway, all facing the ocean. Every bungalow accommodates double or single occupancy and is equipped with air-conditioning and ceiling fan, and a private bathroom with enclosed outdoor shower.
The best diving months are from April to September. Please note that from September to November, the weather is mostly good but visibility can be reduced due to plankton. If you are an avid diver, then April to August will give the best visibility. December to March is usually when tropical storms occur, especially around February and March.
