Jade's Magic Lava Loft is beautifully done. This is an open aired loft so you will be in the middle of everything/natural elements. It is an amazing setting to be in the middle of nowhere on a loft built on Pele's old lava flow. The glow of the lava meeting the ocean from the loft. The stars, rainbows & scenery are magical.

However, there is nothing around so make sure you bring your own food. Jade provides water and a functional kitchenette with basics (salt/pepper oil & honey, etc.)

Because it is an open aired loft, it gets a little cold at night (we stayed in February), but she has extra blankets (never used them) and cuddling with your honey is always a nice fix :) It was tolerable.

What was more difficult for my husband than for me (he couldn't sleep) was the constant harsh wind that howled throughout the night. This was even louder when compounded with the rain. I was ok, but it is loud coming through the open loft and there are many noises and associated (banging banana leafs, things falling, etc) with it, so it is not for everyone (i woke up a few times nightly). This was one reason we ended up leaving a little early (we booked a week).

I liked that it was a very eco friendly place, composting toilet, composting food, etc.

Jade was accommodating and gives you tips for your stay. I was a little disappointed that we never had a yoga class with gong by Jade as we had talked about it prior to booking/arrival and during our stay... it never manifested, but that was one of the reasons we picked her place.

Also, although Jade was nice/friendly and helpful, her partner was very standoffish to a fault. We also aren't looking for conversation, but you shouldn't feel like you are compromising someone's personal space simply by saying hello or good morning. May not sound like a big deal, but when you are staying on someone's shared property and there is literally no one else around, it becomes weird.
It actually became an issue when we had some car trouble in the middle of no where, we tried to help out, but it was like pulling teeth to have him help out his own partner in our opinion.

Anyway, the Magic Lava Loft itself beautiful and comfortable. You have hot water and access to where the lava meets the ocean. Because the roads are closed to the south, you have to drive a lot to get anywhere... we drove a ton. Do your research.

It was overall a nice experience. The place & Puna are beautiful, but it takes a certain type of visitor. If you're looking for sandy beaches and cafes this is not for you. If you are looking for solitude and becoming one with the elements, this may be right up your ally! 3-5 days would have been better than a week for us. 3.5 stars.
