Hulhulé Island Hotel
Hulhulé Island Hotel is the only property where check-in is literally a ten-minute walk from your arrival gate. No boats, no taxis, no uncertainty. The pool faces the channel, the rooms face the sea, and the morning seaplane is a five-minute car from the front door.
“Red-eye from Dubai, walked to the hotel in ten minutes. Room was ready. I was asleep by 3am without speaking to a single taxi driver.”
