A gem encased in white sand, with palms draping over crystal waters and neatly raked coral paths winding in gardens bursting with tropical colours. Its turquoise lagoon faces the north-west reflecting the hues of the sun. The whiter than white sand, pearlised, waiting each morning for the kaleidoscope of shells and foam the sea brings in.
