  • Small groups and solo travellers who dislike crowds
  • Sleeping outdoors without giving up a real bed
  • Swimming, paddling or simply staring at water
  • Travelling with children in tow

Skip it if

  • You want resort scale, with several restaurants and a crowd to disappear into

We’d rather send you somewhere else than send you somewhere that doesn’t suit you.
