Here, freedom isn’t about doing more, but about choosing what matters. Snorkel the House Reef or dive into the vibrant marine world that surrounds the island. Watch green turtles nest, walk the reef at low tide, or greet the sunrise with yoga in the trees. Or do nothing at all. Sometimes, that’s where the magic lives.
