{"product_id":"akira-overwater-resort-middenstandspolder-suriname","title":"Akira Overwater Resort","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuilt entirely on stilts above the still water of Bigi Pan, Akira Overwater Resort forms a shape modelled on the tilapia, a common fish of these waters, when viewed from above. Seventeen detached lodges connect to a restaurant and lobby by wooden walkways. Each lodge sleeps three and has its own bathroom with shower and toilet. A separate family lodge offers more room for those travelling together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBigi Pan itself is the draw: a wetland reserve of mangrove forest, lagoon, and marsh that shelters 72 permanent bird species, among them the scarlet ibis and pink flamingo. Migratory birds arrive seasonally from the north, including ospreys and terns. At dawn and again in late afternoon, thousands of birds leave or return to their roosts over the water. It is a sight worth setting an alarm for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSolar panels supply the resort with power around the clock, so lodges run air conditioning and wifi without a generator's hum. Guests can hear only birdsong, water, and wind. Activities include boat trips through the wetland, kayaking on open water, birdwatching, fishing, crab catching, and mineral mud baths, a local tradition said to refresh the skin. The restaurant serves fresh meals daily, with vegetarian and gluten-free options on request. Wooden walkways link every lodge to the lobby and dining room.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WETU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43907155492923,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/81942942_1444845469015265_875821849735331840_n.jpg?v=1785777796","url":"https:\/\/plekify.com\/products\/akira-overwater-resort-middenstandspolder-suriname","provider":"Plekify","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
