You step out of the humid airport air into a waiting sedan; the driver lifts your bag onto the boot and holds a clean nameboard.

With a private car and local driver, the island’s contrasts arrive at your window in an unhurried sequence: coastal fishing hamlets, colonial brickwork, and sudden bursts of fragrant roadside spice stalls.
