Blue Monkey Beach Cottages Wasini

Several handmade cottages are dispersed in a wild garden along Wasini’s coast line. Special care has been taken to leave the environment as untouched as possible and the bush stretches right into the rocky compound situated beyond the outskirts of the main village.

The owners’ love for nature clearly shows in the eco-conscious construction of the cottages. Mainly local material from the island has been used; rough stones and shells make up the walls and the mangrove roof constructions are covered with palm shingles.

A solar installation caters for lighting. Phones and cameras can be charged but high-energy consuming devices such as  electric cooler boxes exceed its capacity.

Since there is no ground water on the island and its inhabitants have to entirely rely on rainwater collected in communal cisterns, the cottages are equipped with water saving bucket showers and eco-urine-toilets. In addition, each cottage has its private conventional flush toilet (using sea water) in a nearby bathhouse.

Each cottage is set apart and has great views of the sea.

Cottages are equipped with a king-size double bed and some with an additional single bed (incl. mosquito nets).
