So beautiful, so luxurious yet so simple, such lovely people (the wonderful staff and the 4 other lovely guests with whom we are still friends across the world). Our priority was snorkelling, which is top notch, not only a gorgeous reef outside your bure with a drop-off to see reef sharks and eagle rays and turtles, but personally arranged, included boat trips each day to other lovely reefs. But on top of this were the gorgeous modern, luxury bures each with its own little beach and incredible views, the smallness of the island yet the privacy of it, the comfort level on all counts... the food is amazing, and they went to great trouble to accommodate our dietary needs. The fresh hot bread rolls... Helen's Lumberjack cake... breakfast pancakes... omg. It's magical there as everything arrives by boat and you have to be carefully poled over the reef for the last bit. How they do such fab catering with those constraints I can't imagine. The ethos of the place is something really special - the couple who planted the lush trees and flowers there, and decided to share it with others, yet retaining the rights of the locals who own the island and who work there to make your stay special. I can't really say enough about it apart from it hurts to think it's so far away (for the two of us who live in the UK; the other two live in Australia, If I did I'd be there all the time!), and I cried as the boat carried us away and we saw it receding while our new friends waved from the beach... it is simply paradise on earth, or better still, on the ocean, where it is forever 'kava time'.
