Beautiful beach with great snorkeling
We stayed for a week. Super nice place. We snorkeled on several other beaches but found right outside of our studio was the best. Grocery store and restaurants within an easy walk. Pizza shop next door has really good pizza too. Filtered and UV treated water on a separate tap in the kitchen was super convenient. Loved it!

A beautiful place to stay
We had a 5-night stay at Vaima Studio and found it to be perfect for the two of us. It's not quite beachfront, which worked out well because we had some welcome shelter when the wind turned southerly. The accommodation is beautifully presented with a very comfortable bed, lovely bathroom and well-thought kitchen. A great deck with BBQ and outdoor furniture finished off a perfect holiday space. Watching the whales go by was a bonus! Adam and Sarah had put together a booklet with some great recommendations for eating and activities. They were also very responsive when I asked if there was a safe to keep passports in, providing a secure facility the very next morning. The location is ideal both in terms of the beach (great swimming, snorkelling, kayaking and paddleboarding just a few steps away) and being so handy to Wigmore's store for groceries, with a rental car business a further minute walk down the road. We were very pleased with our decision to stay at Vaima Studio and would absolutely recommend it to others.

Very clean and comfortable
Beautiful stay. Clean, tidy, and everything you need for a comfortable holiday. It isn’t beachfront as we initially thought, and there is a large double story unit directly in front of the view to the beach. However, we enjoyed our stay!

Perfect getaway spot!
The two weeks we spent at this studio were very relaxing! A few steps to the beach, tidy and spacious interior not to mention the outdoor space with a very good BBQ, excellent communication with the hosts Adam and Sarah who also provided us with a number of tips navigating around the various hot spots on the island... what more can you ask for on a holiday? Book in now!
