A Bit About Zoleilo Bungalows

Over the years - from our early days as Yawana Dive to the tranquil hideaway now known as Zoleilo Bungalows - we’ve welcomed curious travelers, ocean lovers, and culture seekers from all corners of the world. Some came to dive the vibrant reefs. Others came for the fishing, the bushwalks, or simply to slow down and reconnect. Time moves differently here. And for many of our guests, a few nights at Zoleilo turns into something unforgettable.
