"The staff really goes above and beyond to make the stay perfect! Heated pool. You can borrow floaties for free. So much amenities they lend out, most of it free! I was even able to borrow a telescope for free, to view the beautiful night sky! Only thing I can suggest is if their TV had Internet for YouTube or could screen cast. Would definitely come back!!"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Tarama?
The best area to stay in Tarama is around the village on Tarama Island, as it's the main hub for accommodation and local amenities.Tarama Island is relatively small, and the village area is where you'll find the majority of the island's guesthouses, local eateries, and the few shops available. This central location means you're never far from the port, which is essential for arrival and departure, and it provides easy access to the island's main roads that lead to its beaches and natural sights. The layout is quite spread out but easily navigated by bicycle or car, with most places within a short distance of each other.For couples looking for a quiet retreat, staying in one of the guesthouses near the village offers a peaceful base. You can enjoy strolls to nearby beaches like Maezato Beach for sunset views or explore the island's agricultural landscapes. The guesthouses often provide a personal touch, sometimes with home-cooked meals, making for a relaxing and intimate experience.Solo travellers will also find the village area convenient. It allows for easy interaction with locals and other visitors, especially at the small diners. You can rent a bicycle or scooter nearby to explore the island at your own pace, visiting the lighthouse or finding secluded spots for reflection.
When is the best time to go to Tarama?
The best time to go to Tarama is during the shoulder seasons of April to June and September to November, offering pleasant weather without the peak season crowds.During these months, the weather is warm and sunny, superb for enjoying the island's natural beauty and beaches. You'll find fewer tourists compared to the busy summer months, which means a more relaxed experience and potentially better value on accommodation and activities. These periods avoid the intense heat and occasional typhoon activity of mid-summer, as well as the cooler, windier conditions of winter.Couples looking for a tranquil escape will particularly appreciate the April to June window. The sea is warm enough for swimming, and the island's flora is in full bloom, making for picturesque walks and stunning sunsets. It's an ideal time for quiet beach days and exploring the island's unique culture without feeling rushed.Families travelling with children might find September to November equally appealing. The ocean remains inviting for water sports, and the slightly milder temperatures are comfortable for younger travellers.
