4. Sunglasses: A stylish pair is not just for fashion – they're essential for shielding your eyes from the bright tropical sun.


5. Mosquito Repellent: While the island is a paradise, it's also a haven for mosquitoes. Pack a good repellent to keep those pesky insects at bay.


6. Raincoat: Tropical weather can be unpredictable. A lightweight, packable raincoat ensures you stay dry during brief, refreshing showers.


🏠 Accommodations: Embrace Island Living!


- Lights Out: The island conserves energy by turning off lights from 6 am to 1 pm. Embrace the natural rhythm and take advantage of daylight for your activities.

- Wildlife Encounters: Get ready for a stroll through paradise where chickens, donkey, horses, dogs and cats roam freely. The island's lush landscape is home to a variety of tropical flora, from banana trees of all sizes to the sweet almond trees and breadfruit jungle.



🗺️ Explore Like a Local: Lighthouse Adventure!


- Hiking Bliss: Take a leisurely island hike to the highest point next to the satellite tower. There, you'll find the island's Lighthouse, offering a 180-degree panoramic view of this tropical haven.


- Lighthouse Hotel and Spa: Named after the Lighthouse and located on the way, Treat yourself at the Lighthouse Hotel and Spa, where luxury meets the charm of island life. Try delicious vegan and vegetarian healthy food infused with Caribbean flavors and local ingredients.


🌅 Relax, Don't Rush: Island Vibes Await!
