Where you'll stay

Stays are resort-based. Choices range from beach villas to overwater villas, with meal plans from bed and breakfast to full board. The resort you pick shapes the whole trip, so we shortlist based on budget, reef quality and transfer type.

Travel tips

• Resort transfers (speedboat or seaplane) depend on the resort and flight time, so keep your arrival time flexible.
• Reef-safe sunscreen is kind to the corals.
• Alcohol is generally served only at resorts.
