Whether it’s young families looking for a sunny summer getaway, dedicated clubbers who annually descend for the party season, yogis looking to meditate in a retreat in the hills, or European’s visiting for a beach holiday, the magical sunsets, bohemian spirit and island charm is mesmerising to everyone who visits.
