Dumela Villa
The quiet and almost private beach is at the foot of the dune. Diving schools, Fish safari companies, restaurants and pubs are only a short beach walk away (5 minutes).
The villa is situated in Cumbini resort, a 6 years young, small, quiet and secure resort with lots of facilities, and which is uniquely located amongst an array of more than 500 coconut palms.
4X4 vehicles can comfortably reach the resort. Other vehicles with rear “diff-lock” configuration and well deflated tyres, can also reach the resort. Safe parking for smaller 2-wheel drive bakkies and passenger cars is available within 1.5 kilometres of the resort.
