UNOFFICIAL PROJECT
A SENSORY COMPASS FOR STAY
Not by destination —by the feeling you want to keep.
Stillness, learning, open air. Take the feeling you want to keep as your bearing, and let the land’s own time and experiences guide you to a stay.

Know the island →WHY COMPASS
The difference between stays
is more than amenities.
Islands may float in the same sea, yet time flows differently on each. Settling into the culture of a village. Learning the life of a forest. Opening your body to a coral sea.
UMI YAIMA COMPASS does not rank stays by price or popularity. It takes the feeling you need now as a bearing, and leads you to experiences each place actually speaks of.
