You step from the air-conditioned van onto a shaded lane and the island exhales around you — heat pressed into leaves, a distant surf that seems to keep time with the breeze. At Romney Manor the ground slopes gently toward a clearing where the Saman tree spreads like an old roof; its 400‑year trunk (about 24 ft circumference) and half‑acre canopy give the place a clear, deliberate presence that many visitors describe as spiritual.
