Stay

Twelve simple, spotless rooms. The luxury is under the water.

We are a guesthouse on a local island, not a resort, and we have never pretended to be. What we are is twelve clean rooms with cold air conditioning and comfortable beds, five minutes from the airport and a short walk from the best whale shark waters on Earth. Guests mention spotless rooms in well over a hundred reviews. Housekeeping takes that personally.

Jacuzzi Room

Our most popular room for couples: private jacuzzi on the balcony, and the overhead swing guests keep mentioning.

Come back from a morning with the whale sharks, fill the tub, and watch the island settle into evening. There are fewer of these than any other category, and repeat guests reserve them.

“The best option is a second-floor room with a jacuzzi and a swing.” Anna, Vietnam · Booking.com

Best for Couples marking a special occasion. Book early.

The same private bathroom, daily housekeeping and air conditioning as every room, plus a sightline that stretches across the reef on clear mornings. If you like watching the water change colour before breakfast, this is the one.

A guesthouse, not a resort

We say this plainly, because it is the reason guests love us.

We have no spa, no butler, no water villa over the lagoon. What we have: the island's own airport five minutes away, the whale shark sanctuary a few minutes by boat, a crew that knows every guest by name, and a price that lets you spend your budget on the experience rather than the room.

“Very cosy and local. We got upgraded and the room was simple but lovely and had everything we needed.”Salma, United Kingdom · Booking.com
