| The boat arriving from the airport begins the approach to Laguna from behind the island, making a broad sweep to enter its lagoon through a gap in the coral. From the sea, the island looks like a grove of coconut palms floating in the dreamy blue water of its private lagoon. |

The beach wraps the island in a soft cocoon of sand - a leisurely stroll for the devoted beachcomber and a blissful setting for romentic moments.
The blue and gold of the horizon, the shades of green touching the lagoon, lend spectacular color to this tropical hideaway. A resort of both elegance and relaxed atmosphere - it is large enough to find quiet seclusion and small enough to share with friends. |
