We can arrange tours and excursions for you on the Island. Just speak with any of our staff and they will be happy to assist you. Also, we highly suggest you bring reef-safe sunscreen.

• Airport transfer

The Seles is approximately 60 minute's drive from the airport and we can arrange airport pick-up for $45. Should you like us to make this arrangement, then simply send us your flight details and confirm the price. Also, please let us know at least 24 hours ahead of your pick-up time.

• Other

At The Seles, we embrace people and music and therefore like to create an atmosphere that is fun and laid-back. This is an "adults-only, 16+" hotel (apart from our Villa, where we accept children 10+), and for some, the experience may not be consistent with their lifestyle. Also, it may not be an ideal spot for those who cannot tolerate noise in the main place, so our rooms in the villa are much quieter, so please be aware of your room choice. We want our guests to feel comfortable and as such must be transparent. If you choose a bungalow/room in the main place we can move you to a more quiet place - our Villa (1-minute walk distance) depending on availability.

We also accept children 10+ years old in the Villa.

Please be aware that we are quite flexible and always you can ask about acceptance of the age of children.
