Imagine walking barefoot down the beach to dinner while a burnt orange

sun sets over the Indian Ocean. The day has consisted of cycling through

the forest to snorkel from a deserted beach, followed by a picnic in a

jungle full of exotic birds and ancient tortoises accompanied by the

gentle rustling sound of palm trees in the breeze. Or, it could have been

a lazy afternoon in the spa after an athletic cycle around the island.

Perhaps sailing to neighbouring untouched islands and catching fish for

a barbecue that evening is more in keeping with the ideal day.. .
