1. San Agustinillo
The ideal resort for rest and relaxation, San Agustinillo is pretty much perfect. It's not too crowded but still has a good selection of accommodation and restaurants, with music and dancing every evening.

3. Playa Las Gatas
Although it can be a little tricky to get to - you have to come down a steep path or arrive by boat - Playa Las Gatas is a secluded beach that's worth the trip. It's a hit with snorkellers thanks to its exotic fish, and there's a beautiful old lighthouse to visit, too.

5. Punta Zicatela
Surfers will love the rolling waves and laid-back vibe of Punta Zicatela.

Its vast swathes of sand and hammocks hung between palm trees will make you never want to leave.
