Details
Gloria Homestay lies in the Pam Islands.
Gloria offers four private over-water bungalows, and four private bungalows on land.
All bungalows enjoy ocean sunrise views from Piaynemo’s south eastern shore.
The bungalows sleep two on mattresses on the floor. The usual bedding and mosquito net are supplied, and an extra mattress can be provided if needed.
Meals are served in a dining room on the beach. Like Gloria Homestay’s bungalows, the sand-floored dining room enjoys expansive sea views. Free drinking water and tea and coffee making supplies are always available for guests there.
Guests share a three-roomed bathroom building that provides western-style toilets and dip mandi bathing.
Gloria Homestay also provides a number of quiet and shady little beachside spots to relax with a good book.
A variable 4G signal is received at Gloria Homestay. It may not always support a data connection. Electricity is supplied by generator and is available from sunset to around midnight.
Only a little English is spoken at Gloria Homestay, so bringing a translation app or phrasebook is recommended.
The nearest village is Saukabu, which is about a ten minute boat ride away. Be sure to stock up with anything you consider essential, because local villages only have basic supplies available.
Safe rubbish disposal is unavailable on any of the Raja Ampat islands, so if you want to avoid contributing to the trashing of paradise, please take all the inorganic waste you create away with you when you leave.
