Accommodation consists of a variety of houses, and premium and standard rooms, each being named after a local village. Many of these have their own private plunge pool. The restaurant is used for buffet breakfasts and lunches. The multi-level deck area offers seating at the bar, around coffee tables or a lounging area on comfy sofas, and just meters from the water you can enjoy magnificent sunset views. Dinner options, with international cuisine, are varied - on a beach, a deck, a platform, on the gazebo, or a perfect surprise private table every night.

When embarking on a sight-seeing tour of the island, St Peter's Cathedral in Mbamba town never fails to impress one. It is over 100 years old and larger than Winchester ! Here you will also find the small cobbled market where locals get their daily supplies. At the north point of the island is a forest reserve, near to some beautiful beaches. |
