De Palm Island defies the desert island stereotypes. The sand here isn’t footprint-free. Instead, it’s topped with a waterpark, a buffet restaurant, and a tropical bar. The beach here shares custody of your time with the reef that lies a few feet from the shore. Snorkelling sessions in this coral introduce you to blue parrot fish. These metre-long marine creatures look like fully-inflated helium balloons. The set-up on this island is all inclusive, and the food in the buffet restaurant is all-you-can eat. The spread includes Caribbean specials as well as fast-food like hot dogs and burgers. There are ways to upgrade your time on De Palm Island, too. During a sea trek, you can walk along the ocean floor like you’d walk down the high street. In a snuba session, meanwhile, you can breathe underwater without scuba tanks on your back.
