Real photographs of a real place

Every photograph below is of our actual hotel, our actual camp and the dunes outside our door. Nothing here is a stock image of somewhere else.

We have deliberately not retouched these into something they are not. The rooms are the size they look. The pool is the size it looks. The tents at the bivouac are the tents you will sleep in, photographed on ordinary evenings rather than staged for a brochure.

If there is something you want to see that is not here — a particular room, the bathrooms, the kitchen, the view from a specific terrace — ask us and we will take a photograph and send it to you. That offer is genuine and people take us up on it most weeks.
