We had the most amazing stay at Bungaraya! The location is idyllic, the staff are the best, most wonderful people and were fantastic at helping organise a proposal 🥂. It is the ideal place to learn about the conservation efforts and get away from the world. We really liked that we couldn't get wifi in the villa as it made us disconnect and appreciate where we were more but that might not be practical for everyone. The food was delicious and fresh with a mix of local and international flavours. All in all a wonderful place and hopefully we will be back in the future! **Side note - we were lucky enough to stay at the Gayana Marine resort on the other side of the island for a few days and it was equally amazing! Very relaxed vibes, perfect if you want seclusion and watch the marine life 🐟

So glad we stayed in the Ocean Villa in which we could get into the water from the balcony. 2 nights were barely enough to explore around the resort, and we were lucky enough to see a stingray, hornbills and a monitor lizard. We enjoyed snorkelling and kayaking, and meaningful time at MERC (touch tank, coral planting, giant clams exhibition). The resort was kids-friendly and all the staffs were nice and friendly.

The unit was very clean, and the environment was so comfortable, with complete kitchen utensils. The owner, Ethan, was friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our night with the best sea view and fireworks from the unit’s balcony. An unforgettable stay 😍
