This upscale option offers four smartly finished bungalows built from quality materials, including local hardwoods and volcanic stones. Hint: try for the ‘Painapo’, which is partly built on stilts and offers unimpeded lagoon views. They’re all self-contained and geared for families looking for a quiet spot that overlooks the sea, although there is not really a beach here. Kayaks are free.
