A group of some 115 islands boasting white-sand beaches, turquoise waters and diverse wildlife, there\u2019s always something new to discover in this idyllic region. Having your castaway moment here may not come cheap, but you can\u2019t put a price on the sunshine and solitude that you\u2019ll find on the banks of this exotic wilderness.
