The single cottage at El Marena: a simple stay for two

One room, a double bed and the quiet south of the island, at our lowest cottage price. Here's who it suits.

Not everyone needs two floors and a lookout. Our 6 single cottages at El Marena Eco Resort are for people who want a clean, quiet place to sleep near Chera Dip and plan to spend their days outside.

Good to know

  • The bathroom is shared, not attached.
  • There's no balcony or hammock.
  • Meals are paid separately, breakfast included. See our food menu.
  • A complimentary drink, mineral water and 24-hour room service are free.

Who it suits

Couples on a budget, friends who'd rather spend on food than on a room, and solo travellers. If you'd like your own bathroom, a balcony and breakfast, look at the duplex cottage instead.

What it costs

A single cottage is ৳2,000–৳3,000 for the whole cottage, so from ৳1,000 each for two. Sunday to Thursday is the lower price, and it's also the quieter time to come. See more on the single cottage page.

What a night costs for two

On a Sunday to Thursday night the cottage is ৳2,000, so ৳1,000 each. Breakfast from the menu is about ৳260 each for two parathas, egg fry, alu vaji and milk tea. Lunch of rice, lentil and tuna fry is ৳380. The money you save on the room can go on a fish dinner or a lobster instead.

Single cottage or duplex?

Pick the single if you only need a bed, you don't mind sharing a bathroom, and you'll be out most of the day. Pick the duplex if you want your own bathroom, a balcony and breakfast, or if there are more than two of you. Both are close to the same restaurant, football ground and playground, and both get a complimentary drink, mineral water and 24-hour room service.

Tips for your stay

  • Bring flip-flops for the walk to the bathroom.
  • Bring a small torch and a power bank.
  • For a special evening, ask us about a candlelight dinner on the beach.
  • Come on a weekday, when it's half our regular price.
