Pulling up at the beach at this private island feels like discovering the cool kids' secret hideout. Sangat has a full-service dive centre, kayaks and jet skis and is within a 10-minute boat ride of several shipwrecks. But it's perfect for R&R or action. Renovated native-style bungalows are strung along the beachfront or tucked into the jungle and are fully solar powered.
For those seeking more privacy, there's a large villa around the corner accessed via a footbridge with an outdoor shower in a rock cave. And for the ultimate in off-the-grid-world-be-damned solitude, try the 'Robinson Crusoe' cottage (four weeks minimum stay) on a 100m-long beach a short boat ride from Sangat. Ask to visit the hot springs concealed by a thicket of mangroves on the other side of the island or stop at Sangat's boar farm.
