Chumbe Island Coral Park
Accommodation on Chumbe Island is something really special. It's what Robinson Crusoe could only have dreamt about! The bungalows are so brilliantly designed that they provide both privacy and a sense of freedom of living in the open. Many clients find these bungalows exceptionally romantic (honeymooners love them), but any individual with a passion for natural beauty will find them captivating beyond measure. All bungalows overlook the sea and it takes just 30 seconds to stroll from the comforts of your bungalow hammock to feeling the warm tropical ocean lapping at your feet.

Being a Marine Protected Area, the focal aim of the Chumbe Island Coral Park Project is to preserve Chumbe Island's exceptional environment. Chumbe Island Coral Park's accommodation features state-of-the-art eco-architecture and eco-technology. With only seven bungalows, the island is never crowded, even when fully booked. All bungalows are equipped with double or twin beds in the sleeping area under the palmthatched roof, self-contained bathrooms, large living rooms, equipped with handmade furniture and decorated with African art and colourful fabrics (and very comfortable hammocks).
