Island size and atmosphere
Some resorts feel like a village, others like a hideaway. Size shapes how busy the beach and restaurants feel.
Reef and lagoon
You often get one or the other in abundance: a rich reef to snorkel, or a calm, shallow lagoon to swim in.
Transfer
Speedboat, seaplane or flight: it decides how much of your trip is travel and what the transfer costs.
Food
Meal plans and the number of restaurants matter on a small island, because you will eat there most days.
Privacy, family atmosphere and villas
Overwater or beach, with or without a pool, adults-only or family-friendly: decide these before comparing rates.
Cost
Compare the whole trip: rate, transfer and meal plan together. That is why every profile here shows what is and is not included in its estimate.
