The resort

Built from the delta, for slow days

Bonomali sits on the bank of West Dhangmari in Dacope, looking straight across the Passur at the Sundarbans reserve. The cottages use local wood and golpata thatch in the way villages here have always built, with air conditioning, good beds and clean bathrooms inside.

Each cottage has its own balcony and hanging swing, screened for privacy. Solar backup keeps the lights on, and the kitchen garden supplies much of what you eat.

The table

Claypot seafood, caught that morning

River prawns, crab and fish come from Passur fishermen each day and are cooked in earthen claypots. There is wild mangrove honey from local Mawali collectors to taste, and on clear nights a seafood barbecue by the jetty.

Tell us about allergies or food you avoid when you book and the kitchen will plan around it.
