Review:
Going strong since 1998 Boboi Beach Lodge can certainly be considered as being off the beaten track. Committed to responsible tourism it is tucked in amongst majestic Rhun palms, undulating sand dunes and tropical gardens it offers a truly unique experience of a simple retreat.

Facilities at the eco-tourist lodge are basic and could do with some improvement. The beach however is superb and almost deserted most of the time. Tip: take along a good torch, spare batteries and travel solar accessories such as chargers for torches and mobile phones.
