Private beach area and sun deck

Rooms with garden views
All rooms are 20 m² with air conditioning, a queen bed, flat-screen TV, minibar, and an attached shower bathroom. The garden-view aspect keeps them calm-facing. The family room steps up to 47 m² with a king bed and two twin beds for up to four guests.
On-site restaurant and bar
There is a restaurant and a bar on the property, along with room service and BBQ facilities for guests who prefer to eat outside. Breakfast is available, and the kitchen has an electric kettle in each room.
Water sports and local excursions
The property arranges snorkelling, diving, canoeing, and fishing trips, all at an additional charge. Bicycles are also available to rent, and cultural tours of the local island can be organised through the guest house.
