This boutique resort gets top marks, not only for its stunning surrounds and tasteful, airy accommodation, but for possibly having the most hospitable staff in the Mamanucas. With only 10 bures and no distracting daytrippers, staff actually outnumber holidaymakers: it's a rare guest that leaves without feeling like a family member. All rooms have their own slice of beachfront and private courtyards.
Guests eat at the same long table and meals are a social occasion – if this isn’t your thing, more intimate beachside dining can be arranged. The compulsory meal package ($132/119 for three/two meals daily for adults; child rates available) still allows guests to choose from a daily menu.
There are cultural and sporty activities galore: diving is with Tropical Watersports.
