Bar Reef Beach Resort, in detail

Overview Of Bar Reef Beach Resort

Situated on the two kilometer stretch of beach, Bar Reef offers a truly relaxing experience. Our partner kitesurf centre is within 10km of the property - but free kiting is possible directly from the beach at the hotel.

As lovely as it is, Bar Reef does not offer the boutique hotel-type experience - it is instead a very informal and chilled out beach resort that offers the friendly hospitality of its village staff rather than regimented hotel-type service. And what it might lack in amenities (there's no running hot water, for example), it makes up for with the rustic charm and whimsical design of its buildings which encourages guests to meet and mingle in an unpretentious communal atmosphere, where you can talk for hours about your day on the water.

Accommodation

Bar Reef features two kinds of accommodation - 6 cabanas and 2 villas, all of which are set within their own private and secluded gardens. Each of the Cabanas and Villas are decorated differently, each with it's own characteristic.

The accommodation is absolutely beautiful, though very natural, with very basic facilities, such as invigorating outdoor showers.

Facilities

The resort itself features a striking open pavilion restaurant overlooking the Indian Ocean, and an enormous 40 meter fibre optic-lit pool reflecting the starry sky at night - all laid out in an intriguing mix of the traditional and new. There is usually a delicious local rice and curry buffet or barbeque each evening supplemented by a small a la carte menu.

Booking Bar Reef Beach Resort with us

We lose sleep so you don’t.

We take every booking personally. Anything that doesn’t look right, anything that needs chasing — we’re the ones awake worrying about it, so you’re not.

01

Your money goes into trust

Not into our bank account. It sits with an independent trustee and is only released after you have travelled. If we stopped trading tomorrow it would still be there, and it would come back to you.

02

We book it all, and then check it

Flights, transfers, the room you actually chose, your lessons. Confirmed before you fly, not arranged when you land. We don’t book the cheapest transfer — drivers who turn up and speak English.

03

We call you before you go

Documents, visas, kit, anything you’re unsure about. A real conversation with the person who booked it, not an automated reminder.

04

We’re on WhatsApp the whole time you’re away

Any hour, any country. Flight moved, room not right, lessons cancelled for weather — one number, answered by someone who already knows your booking.

No obligation. We’ll come back with a full itinerary and a price.
