Bar Reef is a low-key yet stylish beach resort with a rustic feel to it. With a large salt-water infinity pool at the front, it also has a beautiful ambalama standing majestically at the far end and smaller ones on either side. The six mud cabanas as well as the two larger villas are situated off a walkway lit up with gas lamps at night.
Enjoy dips in the infinity pool at night, which is lit up with lights in the shapes of star constellations and long walks along the beach. Enjoy diving and snorkeling over Bar Reef, and head further out to sea to marvel at hundreds of spinner dolphins. If you are lucky, you may also spot blue whales and sperm whales, which swim these waters between October and April.
Bar Reef has 11 cabanas; seven Garden Cabanas and four Beach Cabanas, and two villas, all set in their own private gardens.
NOTE: On the coastline, approximately 4km from the hotel, there is a major power plant, which can be seen from the beach. We have been working with all the hotels in the area since the inception and to date a very small number of people have brought this to our attention. In order to better manage the expectations of our clients we feel it is important to mention the fact.
