A gentle arrival that marks the start of the trip
This is an illustrative route, rather than a fixed itinerary. The final route, stays and experiences are shaped around your dates and priorities.
Use one island for the whole week. The first day is for arriving and learning the layout. After that, balance time on the house reef, a boat day and a sandbank outing with empty afternoons. Seaplane and boat transfers depend on the property, daylight and weather, so we confirm the right connection before booking.
