Beach Bungalow

48 m² (516 ft²)

Step inside our generously spaced Double Sea View Bungalows, where rustic charm meets coastal comfort. Each bungalow features a four-poster bed draped with a mosquito net, complemented by a ceiling fan for a cool and restful sleep. Carefully crafted furniture made from reclaimed dhow wood brings warmth and authenticity, while woven palm leaf walls and dark wooden floors maintain a naturally refreshing ambiance.

Colorful kangas, woven mats, and handpicked decorations add a personal touch, making each bungalow feel unique. A wooden door leads to the en-suite bathroom, complete with a hot shower and eco toilet. Families are welcome too (we can add an extra single bed for children upon request).

From your private space, step outside to enjoy the soothing ocean breeze and uninterrupted sea views. Here, you’re never far from the sound of waves or the gentle sway of palm trees.
