The 30 Beach Bungalows are on the island part in exotic green vegetation including palm trees. All the 84 rooms come with sea view.
Airport transfers
The resort can be accessed by seaplane that operates only in day time. If you are arriving at night you will have to fly the resort the following day. Not far from the resort is a domestic airport named Maamingili Airport. The domestic flight operating to this destination is Flyme. If you are arriving by domestic flight you will still need a sea-based transfer to reach the resort.
Diving and Snorkeling
The house reef is just minutes from the shore. Safari Island Resort is one of the few islands having house reef so close to the island.
