A home away from home, the lodge offers a comfortable and relaxing stay in the heart of the festival. Fall asleep to the sound of crashing waves and wake up to the traditional songs of local fishermen.

Sleep under the stars in our charming 4 or 5-man bell tents. Sitting on the sandy shores of the lagoon and shaded by swaying palm trees, here you are at one with nature. Each tent is decked out with mattresses and mosquito nets, with access to communal compost toilets and open air showers.
