This tranquil option with thatched cottages has a stunning setting, with a narrow bridge above a cove. Most cottages are ‘pillar houses’ – an architectural style associated with the West End – perched above the coral cliffs and set in natural gardens. All have exquisite bamboo and hardwood details, but are completely glassed in – it's all air-con and no sea breezes.
