Behind the turquoise lagoon hides a destination of astonishing richness, which combines spectacular nature, historical heritage, cultural diversity and activities of all kinds.

Nature takes pride of place: public beaches, islets, waterfalls, mountains, endemic forests, geological curiosities and breathtaking viewpoints. On the sea side, there is no shortage of activities, from boat excursions to snorkeling, including dolphin watching and outings to offshore islets.

The island also has a rich heritage and culture: museums, forts, colonial residences, temples, churches and pagodas bear witness to a unique mixed history. Added to this are the lively markets, industrial and gastronomic know-how, and numerous animal and leisure parks perfect for families.

To navigate this abundance of options, the simplest approach is to start with your desires: nature, beach, culture, adventure, or relaxation. Spread your visits throughout your stay, check opening hours and any entrance fees, and plan how to get around freely—the most practical solution is to rent a car.
