Fringed by white sandy beaches, populated by extraordinary birds, covered with lush vegetation and encircled by coral reefs, Tsarabanjina is the kind of private island to be discovered in complete tranquility, enhanced by the soft pace of the sea and its natural surroundings. An amazingly calm sea filled with a variety of fish and lobsters. A place renowned for its diving. You can stroll around, climb up the hills and lose your way in its luxuriant vegetation.
Tsarabanjina is a small island which offers calm and exclusivity. It is a place to be refreshed and regenerated in a timeless setting – here, guests can discover their own tempo, without pressures or constraints. Tsarabanjina is an island with no news, no television and no telephone (except for your personal mobile phone). There is no dress code other than the pareo and bare feet, in order to experience the regenerating contact with the sand, even at the bar. The only sound in the background is that of the waves and the birds. Pass the time resting and relaxing or with sports, massages and a healthy diet made up mainly of sea food. Your island home is a small house … with simple amenities but cosy.
