Your accommodation
Your home away from home is one of three wooden beach bungalows, hand-built by the local community using traditional methods and materials. These structures are on a raised platform connected to a longer boardwalk over the water, completely immersing you in the coastal island feel. Listen to the sound of the gently rolling tide as you drift off, and awaken to a glistening sunrise across the water.Â
Rooms have bunk beds and shared western-style bathrooms. Linen, pillows, mosquito netting and fans are provided and the rooms have electricity to charge your appliances. Fresh water access is limited so shower times are structured to accommodate. Laundry can be done in the village. There is also an upgrade available for singles, doubles or twins at an extra charge depending on availability.Â
Wi-Fi is not available on the island but volunteers are encouraged to purchase a Telkomsel SIM card and register at the Jakarta airport on arrival. This is the only provider that works in the area, although some international phones may work with roaming.
