With a private beach, this gorgeous hillside resort offers a genuine island welcome. Rustic cottages with open-air bathrooms have magnificent sea views or there's a main lodge with a hardwood verandah that serves as the common area. The restaurant is nested above a tropical garden and candlelit suppers can be arranged under the rustling palms.
Transfers from the jetty are included in the tariff, and the use of kayaks and snorkelling gear is free. A helpful service desk organises island-hopping, hiking and diving excursions for those who just can't sit still.
