Bageecha is a shipwreck, stranded in the deserted island of Kuramathi many years ago. The palms and bushes have grown around the wreck and this is now the home to the young pirates of the isle.
Whilst the older pirates are hunting treasure, the younger pirates are in a fantasy world, taking a grand and adventurous journey!
At the Bageecha Kids Club for young pirates, you will be welcomed by Bageecha Captain and her peculiar crew of pirates. You too can become a member of this crew, but first, you have to leave an eternal print on the infamous wall of fame. Then, and only then can you start your adventure!
The pirate crew is always on the hunt for the mysterious treasure left behind by the notorious Captain Fatbeard. The first clue is that the treasure was left behind somewhere on the island of Kuramathi. But with the help of the old treasure map, the adventure can begin! We will venture in the depths of the sea and comb out the dense jungle, where tough challenges await us. But beware, do not let your attention slip, since we are not the only ones trying to solve the riddles of the mysterious treasure, arg!!!
Over 300 sqm is dedicated to Bageecha. It includes two play areas for the pirates-in-training and an entertainment room. A dining area with a small kitchen invites you for dinner with the Bageecha captain and her legendary crew.
