La Boaventura has simply furnished dorms and guestrooms – all with private bathrooms and some with sea views – set around a vine-fringed courtyard. The real draw, though, is the low-lit cafe/lounge (festooned with Tibetan prayer flags, a small aquarium and a mini disco ball), where you can meet other travellers or use wi-fi over drinks. Book well ahead at this popular French-owned place.
