This is true Robinson Crusoe-style living. Constructed using state-of-the-art sustainable techniques, Chumbe's bungalows are designed to have virtually zero impact on their surrounds. With rainwater catchment, photovoltaic energy, solar water heating, composting toilets and vegetative greywater filtration, you can rest assured that you are keeping the island pristine while living in the rooms. There are just seven bungalows that offer both privacy and a sense of freedom. All rooms overlook the ocean, and it's a quick hop from your hammock to the sand and sea.
