Review
A modern, mid sized, natural island with a focus on wellness. The spa is amazing and set in the jungle. I had their signature massage and it was great, very well done and they listened to all my preferences. Umami is their signature Japanese restaurant and the food and service was high quality. The location on the beach is really beautiful too. The bar adjacent to this, Yakitori, has amazing cocktails and great light bites (the yakitori skewers are a must try).

Bio
I was lucky enough to have been born and raised in South East Asia, which gave me the opportunity to spend a lot of time travelling and visiting various destinations here growing up. After moving to The UK I still found myself drawn to this part of the world, so decided to pursue a career in travel that encouraged further travels to those countries. I have been fortunate enough to travel to Asia extensively since then and it has been amazing sharing this passion with others. I love chatting to clients about different countries, cultures and cuisines and hearing about other people’s experiences also, to keep in mind for my next trip!
