Whether you are a fun-lover, adventurer, adrenalin freak, sun-seeking swallow, meditating mystic, book-worming peace lover, bush whacking lunatic, or Third World groupie, we have something for everyone whilst you’re loving your stay at Buccaneers.
The stunning Chintsa beach is a hop, skip and jump from Buccaneers which means that watersports are a must.
