Strong fit if
- You want beaches and coastal time, natural landscapes, adventure, and diving and watersports.
- You enjoy active days and getting outdoors.
Think twice if
- You want every transfer and activity to be completely frictionless.
- You mainly want to stay by a pool or on one beach.
- You want lively nightlife every evening.
Travel from the UK
Allow roughly 12 hours of modelled flying time from London, before airport and transfer time. This is a substantial journey, so ten nights or more will usually make better use of the travel time.
How much effort does this take?
This asks a little more of you than a typical package holiday. Some independent planning and flexibility help, but it remains realistic for most prepared travellers.
