I stayed at this ecological hostel for two days. The location is a bit off the beaten path, situated to the south of the island about a 3-hour walk from the main pier, but it’s easy to access thanks to local ferries. One of the standout features of this area is its proximity to one of the rare bioluminescent beaches in the world. At night, the beach glows due to the bioluminescence from phytoplanktons, microscopic organisms that emit light when disturbed. The phenomenon is most visible in the late hours, with the glowing particles lighting up the water as you walk along the shore. This incredible spectacle is very rare and can only be seen in a few locations worldwide, making this area truly special. The hostel itself is clean and well-maintained, with a rating of 9/10. The staff, including Mr. Karimzadeh from Isfahan and a local lady, were friendly and helpful. Though the atmosphere could be improved, especially due to the loud music that may disturb light sleepers, it’s perfect for those who enjoy vibrant nights and sleeping in until late. The hostel offers Wi-Fi and a kitchen, but the kitchen isn’t available for guest use. Unfortunately, there are no eco-friendly initiatives, which would have complemented the ecological aspect of the location. I would recommend this place for those who appreciate lively environments and want to witness the rare and beautiful bioluminescence of the beach. Although the overall experience didn’t quite justify the price, the unique location and the opportunity to experience one of nature’s wonders make it a memorable stay for the right guest.
