Our standard packages are for 10 or 11 night stays, with convenient and fast direct transportation to and from our island, if you come on our set schedule. If your travel schedule does not allow you to travel on our set schedule, then off schedule visits of longer or shorter stays are possible, but may require higher transportation fees for, and you must pay for the entire 10 night or 11 night block/s which your off schedule trip intersects. It is a long journey to reach Kandui Villas®, but once you are here it is absolute paradise, and stays less than 10 nights are hardly enough time to rest from your travel, explore our island paradise, and surf all the perfect waves, indulging in everything Kandui Villas® has to offer and becoming a part of the Kandui Villas® family, which is why our standard packages are a minimum of 10 days.
