Life
Our small island offers a idyllic lifestyle that contrasts sharply with the tourist hotspots of the country.
We are characterized as having a laid-back and relaxed vibe. With a population of less then 1,000 people, the island feels like a community where "everyone knows everyone." This intimate setting gives a sense of belonging and friendliness among residents and visitors.
