  • When is the best time to visit your property for the perfect beach holiday?

    All year around. In Christmas and New Year the water is higher. At the end of July to September the water is a bit lower. It is the best season but there is a bit more rain during the rainy season from end of October to end of January. Less tourists, a lot of sun, a few rains, prices are lower, it is amazing, it is our high season make sure to book in advance this period as it is really the best.
