Our wedding reception tip:
Take advantage of the breathtaking location by holding an evening reception outdoors – the balmy air and gentle sea breezes minus the hot sun make for an ideal setting.
Activities are varied for those who are staying on the island for an extended period, generally set outdoors to make the most of the perfect weather and warm water. Jet skiing, kayaking, four-wheel drive tours, sailing and snorkelling are just a few of the activities on offer, otherwise kick back by one of the hotel pools.
