Here’s our recommended 5-day itinerary for families:
Day 1: Dive Right In

Day 2: Explore the Island
Morning: Kick-start the day with a hearty breakfast in the privacy of your own villa. Then, gear up for a hike suitable for all ages. The island’s lush green trails, cascading waterfalls, and exotic bird sounds make it a nature lover’s paradise. Don’t forget to ask about Dr. Birdy, your guide to all things birds around Secret Bay.
Afternoon: Once back at your villa after a morning of adventures, spend your afternoon relaxing at your private plunge pool playing games and listening to your favorite tunes.
