01 / The Story
The far edge of the archipelago

A place at the
end of the map.

The Serai Inar sits alone on a lagoon that belongs to no one but the tide.

A sandbar rises from the water at low tide and disappears by evening. Nothing here is arranged to entertain you — the tide keeps the only schedule, and the days are yours to lose.

02 / The Rooms
Two ways to stay

Sleep beside
the water.

Just two kinds of room, each entirely your own — no lobby, no corridor, no front desk, no key card.
