Now don’t get off the grid confused with camping, this island is actually very well equipped for a comfortable stay. That being said, power is limited and it’s not the place to WFH if you rely on wifi because there is none. So kick back, disconnect and enjoy the bounty of nature.

The rooms have memory foam beds and organic bedding, you’ll find composting toilets in the bathroom as well as a shower, towels and even biodegradable soaps, shampoo and toothpaste. What’s more, food to make breakfast and lunch are provided as well as home cooked evening meals which are available from the freezer.
