Oure Lodge Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent
"I cannot recommend this highly enough. One of my favourite resorts I've stayed in. A nice place to relax and the beach bungalow was well worth the price to relax with the ocean right there. lots of friendly local dogs on the beach was a bonus too. Great food in the restaurant and the room service was worthwhile with our beach bungalow. Kayaks were fun to take out too."

10/10 Excellent
"We absolutely loved our stay at Kou-Bugny. Île des Pins is simply magnificent — peaceful, beautiful and the perfect place to relax and disconnect. Kou-Bugny has two beautiful white-sand beaches, both incredibly peaceful and surrounded by stunning scenery. The location is truly special. The restaurant was another highlight. They serve beautiful local and French dishes, with a great selection of fresh seafood and meat. Everything we tried was delicious. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and they organised our airport pick-up as well as all of our excursions, making everything very easy for us. One of our favourite experiences was the excursion where we were able to swim with manta rays and turtles. Afterwards, we enjoyed an amazing BBQ with huge lobsters and a huge snapper — an unforgettable experience! Thank you to the whole team at Kou-Bugny for your wonderful hospitality. We had a fantastic time and would love to come back!"
