Some areas are right in the middle of the action, while others are peaceful beachfront stretches only a short bicycle ride away. This guide explains each area and how to choose.<\/p>\n<p>There are no cars or motorbikes on the island. Everyone walks, cycles or takes a horse-drawn cart called a cidomo, so distance and luggage matter more than you might expect.<\/p>\n<div style=\"border-left: 4px solid #0A7AB5; background: #EEF7FC; padding: 14px 18px; margin: 18px 0; border-radius: 4px;\"><strong>Quick answer:<\/strong> For first-timers, the east coast near the harbour is the most convenient area.

busiest part of the island. You are close to the harbour where the fast boat arrives, plus dive shops, restaurants, bike rentals, shops and the night market. It is the most convenient option for first-timers and short stays.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Good for:<\/strong> first visit, short trips, nightlife, people who want to walk everywhere.<br \/>\n<strong>Keep in mind:<\/strong> evenings can be noisy, especially close to the bars.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"the-west-coast-sunset-side\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_West_Coast_Sunset_Side\"><\/span>The West Coast (Sunset Side)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The west coast is known for sunsets, beach clubs and relaxed seafront dining.

They are popular with families, groups and couples wanting privacy and a pool.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Good for:<\/strong> groups, families, longer stays.<br \/>\n<strong>Keep in mind:<\/strong> you will rely on a bicycle or cidomo to reach the beach.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"choosing-by-budget\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choosing_by_Budget\"><\/span>Choosing by Budget<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Budget:<\/strong> hostels, homestays and simple bungalows, usually with fan or air-conditioning options.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mid-range:<\/strong> boutique bungalows and small hotels, often with a pool and breakfast included.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Luxury:<\/strong> beachfront villas and resorts with private pools and concierge service.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Prices change a lot by season, so compare a few options and book early for July, August and the year-end holidays.
