Our read

The water is the reason to come, and it stays small enough to feel like a house rather than a hotel.

Come here for

  • Staying somewhere that takes its land seriously
  • Bathing culture over treatment menus
  • Small groups and solo travellers who dislike crowds
  • Sleeping outdoors without giving up a real bed

Skip it if

  • You want resort scale, with several restaurants and a crowd to disappear into
  • You need polished finishes and constant connectivity
  • You want restaurants and an evening scene within walking distance

We’d rather send you somewhere else than send you somewhere that doesn’t suit you.
