The crystal blue waters provide the perfect conditions for snorkelling, windsurfing and diving at the many interesting locations near the island. The thick vegetation at the Southern end of the island is the home to a stray colobus monkey, whose presence on the island cannot be explained. Shy and reclusive, he is only occasionally seen swinging from one tree to another.
There are only 10 rooms on the whole island, situated in 5 separate bandas on the beach. Each room has its own terrace and lounge beds on the beach in front of the room.
