Peace, tranquillity, nature. Large parts of the island are a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. A large part of the coast is a marine reserve. The local fishermen adhere to fishing etiquette. No mass tourism. No industry.

All this gives the island a unique underwater world for these latitudes.

Clear water, a multitude of diving spots. Top conditions 365 days a year.

The island’s accessibility is a major obstacle to mass tourism. Which is why connoisseurs are happy to accept that the journey is sometimes a little more complicated than to better-known destinations.
