GEM ISLAND RESORT

On its private islet, north of Pulau Kapas, this resort offers a peaceful and comfortable retreat. The long concrete building built on the rocks suggests the worst. No, I'm not! The rooms have a lot of charm and overlook the sea. Only the hideaways are hidden in the jungle. We walk around the island in search of small deserted bays, where in season green turtles come to lay their eggs. The resort has its own restaurant, of course, but also an excellent spa and a swimming pool dug into the rock.
