WELCOME TO RAW AND UNSPOILED BEAUTY
The lesser-known Detwah Lagoon, located on the western tip of Socotra Island in Yemen, is particularly admired for its striking turquoise waters, white sand shoreline, and the unique, majestic hills. What makes it even more special is its status as part of Socotra’s UNESCO World Heritage site, which helps preserve its largely untouched state, enhancing its raw and unspoiled beauty. The lagoon is surrounded by towering, rugged hills and dotted with unique vegetation, giving the area an almost otherworldly appearance. The shallow waters are teeming with marine life, including rays and small fish.
