Calala Island is an absolute gem, offering a unique adventure from the moment you arrive with a scenic boat trip that sets the tone for a tropical paradise. The accommodations are comfortable with your own outdoor living space, and the food is exceptionally delicious with plenty of variety. The service was top-notch and made our stay feel truly special. On the downside, the long boat ride to the island might not be for everyone, and the remote location means some amenities might be limited.
