Fresh Seafood

At our lodge, you’re not just a guest—you become part of the local island experience. One of the highlights is witnessing the sea gypsies, known as the Bajau Laut, bringing in fresh seafood right to your doorstep. These friendly locals paddling their wooden boats up to the lodge, offering a variety of seafood caught just hours earlier. It’s a unique and authentic cultural experience, giving you a taste of island life, both figuratively and literally. Enjoy the freshest catch while supporting the local community, all from the comfort of your waterfront retreat.
