Would stay again

We only stayed a single night here, and it was quite nice. A little way out of the main area, but easily walkable. Byron was super busy, so was actually nice to be a little out of the main area. Didn't stay long enough to get a real feel, but would stay again

Great relaxing mini break

Aabi's was fab, a great little haven a little away from the main strip which means it is quieter, but in easy walking distance to get to the restaurants and bars. I would recommend and definitely stay again

Beautiful stay close to heart of Byron

Loved my stay at Aabi’s! Very relaxing, 5 minutes walk into town and 10 minutes to the beach. I stayed there while doing my scuba diving certificate, so the spa and comfortable bed were just what I needed! I’ll definitely be back!
