Choosing where to stay

The north, the south-west and the middle of the island suit very different holidays.

Start with who you're travelling with. Families and groups who want quiet usually prefer the north or the centre, where houses have more land and the roads are calmer.

If the plan involves sunsets, beach clubs and nights out, the south-west keeps everything within a short drive.

Tell us the kind of week you have in mind and we'll point you at the right part of the island before you look at a single house.
