Your accommodation

Our volunteer house is just a two-minute walk from the beach. Spend nights here sharing meals with other guests or socialise and relax in the common area. 

 

The house has a communal kitchen, but is not equipped with cooking appliances. Rooms are shared, with a maximum of three participants per room. Each room comes with air-conditioning and an en-suite bathroom. While there is no hot water available, the warm island climate compensates for this. 

 

Volunteers also have access to laundry facilities and free Wi-Fi.
