Qimi Private Bay Resort

Qimi Private Bay Resort is owned and run by Rose and Nolly and their ever attentive staff, who do their utmost to make every guest’s stay an unforgettable holiday, from the comfort of the chalets to their delicious home-cooked food. Snorkelling through the coral and soaking up the sun are the simplest of pleasures, but scuba diving and fishing excursions can be easily arranged. The thick jungle covering the entire island can also be explored along a variety of paths where the many species of birds, squirrels and monitor lizards can be observed. At night friendly fruit bats scour the canopy of trees that shelter the resort. The resort offers the experience of a lifetime on a paradise island.
