experiencesa return to self

Walk barefoot on our finely crushed white beach sand and slide into our warm turquoise Indian Ocean waters. Here lies Mabibi beach, with a World Heritage site protected ocean on one side and a canopied forest of ancient milkwoods on her other. Here we return to the open hearted wonder of childhood. Everywhere in nature there is movement in life; day to night, high tide to low tide. Embark each morning on our guided activities designed to nurture a deep sense of curiosity and wonder in you. Or just chill in the hammocks, castaway luxury.
