For something different from the usual, and very eco-friendly, Chumbe has a very positive vibe. If you like a 'Robinson Crusoe' feel to your islands, then this island lodge will suit you: one wall of the upstairs bedroom of six of the rooms opens up to the ocean – you just operate a pulley to open it. It's very rustic and romantic! - View lodge details
