| Poruma Island Resort - Isolated, Unspoilt and Luxurious |
|
|
Overlooking the sandy spit that forms the finest of the island’s beaches, the resort consists of just two enormous thatch-roof timber lodges. Each has an open-plan design, with a lounge and dining area immediately beneath the verandah and folding doors that screen the bedroom and bathroom behind. Built in the authentic Poruma style, each stunning hut is luxuriously equipped and furnished, with a king-sized bed on elevated platform that is enclosed by a mosquito net. Although they are not air-conditioned, the soaring thatch roof and ceiling fans keep the rooms cool and breezy even during the hottest part of the day. Each bedroom even has its own plunge pool, just the thing for cooling off in the midday heat. The huts are situated on the western end of the island, the best location for beautiful sunsets. Islanders call this end ‘gaigalkuth’ which means ‘sunset end’. You can swim or fish in front of the beach suites on any tide and enjoy the reef, corals and marine life.
