Moyo Island accomodation

As the website points out, the camp’s 20 luxury tents are set under a canopy of tropical forest. Each 58m² tent is enclosed by a solid wall. There is a soft waterproof external roof and a separate canvas interior. A coral-stone deck surrounds each tent. Inside, the air-conditioned tents feature banks of windows, Indonesian island artwork, a sitting area with facing divans, king-size bed, a writing desk and a large bathroom. There is hardwood flooring throughout.wana_tent_ext_chairs_hp1

There have been a number of reviews posted on tripadvisor.com inferring that the condition is less than perfect.  However, the tent we had was in very good order indeed. The only difference in the location – a $100 a night premium to have a beach fronted tent, instead of on set slightly back into the jungle.  20081007_151621_147We chose the beach option and would again!  Although largely private, you may see a fellow guest walking around the bay. If you choose the jungle tent you will have to make do with the shared sun deck near the jetty.

Sand paths link the tents to one another and lead to the beach and back to the main suite of building.The dining room and bar are located in an open-air pavilion facing the sea.  There are no fixed meal times so you’re free to arrive at almost any time of the day and order what ever you’d like.  Given that I was diving every morning, I would normally return around 11ish and order breakfast with no problems. However, some days I went straight for lunch given the excellent menu on display.

If you’ve worn out the view from your tent, the bar or the sund deck then located at the far end of the camp, a few metres from the shoreline, the Music Pavilion is a forest sanctuary. Here, you can listen to music, order picnic lunch and a bottle of wine, enjoy afternoon tea or a sunset cocktail.  Out in front of the pavillion is Turtle Street, a relatively safe snorkelling area where you will most likely see Hawksbill Turtles.
