Tsara Komba

The thrilling 20-minute speedboat ride from the harbour to the island sets the scene for this stylish property, where eight, individually styled wooden cottages are hidden from view on a hillside overflowing with bougainvillea.

Hard as it may be to leave the haven of peace the rooms and private veranda’s offer, the expansive beach below is dotted with plenty of discreet wooden jetty’s and hammocks in which to hide away and soak up the views of dazzling turquoise sea and mountains beyond if the island walks, snorkelling or diving all seem a bit too energetic.

Doing nothing builds up the appetite for the evening, where chilled cocktails in the bar are best enjoyed at sunset, before indulging in fine dining and the freshest seafood and a stroll along the beach under the stars. Popular with couples, those wanting to celebrate a special occasion or anyone who just wants to relax in style.
