“Me and my partner booked GBBR initially for only four days as we hadn’t been to the island before but we got a recommendation from a local yoga teacher so we decided to give it a go.
After we took a long boat from Kuraburi, we arrived to a pristine little bay welcomed by Golden Buddha team who immediately made us feel at home and showed us around the absolutely stunning resort. It’s paradise! We’ve never seen a beach so long, clean and empty and sea so beautiful! The sand may not be white but this definitely is the most beautiful beach I’ve ever seen. The resort is also absolutely stunning, with a beautiful restaurant and gorgeous breakfast every morning, drinking fresh coconut juice while overlooking the sea 🙂 Saturday nights are magical, the resort organised a bonfire on the beach with cocktails and then the most delicious seafood BBQ.
The accommodation consists of different styled wooden houses, each of them with a unique design and hidden around so you always feel like you’re alone in nature.
What makes the whole experience even more special is the whole team at the resort, and especially Massi and Teresa , who manage the resort and took care of absolutely every single request we had and always made us feel like special guests.
So the initial 4 days ended up being three weeks and we didn’t want to leave even then.”
