Before choosing where to stay

Where to Base

Most accommodations are concentrated in the western coastal lowlands near the harbor and town center. This location offers walkability to restaurants, shops, and key sites, along with convenient transport links and often scenic views.

Airport Connection

The airport is located close to the town, with a short drive required. Taxis or hotel shuttles are the primary transport modes. Given the small size of the island, getting from accommodation to the airport is typically quick and efficient for time-conscious travelers.

Best Season

The Southern Hemisphere summer (December to March) offers warm, dry weather, ideal for outdoor exploration and beach activities. This is the peak tourist season, so booking accommodations well in advance is recommended to secure preferred options.
