The island is situated on a remote atoll, with access to fishing, snorkelling and kayaking on the surrounding coral reef.

The island has a main house has a master bedroom with a double bed and all amenities, plus two extra cabanas over the water with their own double bedrooms.

Guests are taken to the island by private boat from the nearby beach resort of Placencia — a few miles away on the mainland.
