How it works

  1. Filter. Island, area, type of stay, stars, distance to the beach and amenities — across 2506 properties from OpenStreetMap.
  2. Compare on the map. Around each property: beaches, sights and tour departure points, with distances.
  3. Check the price. The “Prices on Trip.com” link opens a search for the property — prices and availability are shown there. We do not sell stays, but some links are affiliate links and a booking may earn us a commission at no extra cost to you.

Frequently asked questions

Can I book a hotel directly on this site?

No. We do not sell stays, but some links are affiliate links and a booking may earn us a commission at no extra cost to you. Each listing has a “Prices on Trip.com” link and links to other platforms — booking, payment and reviews are there.

Where do the hotels come from, and why doesn't the photo always show the property?

The properties come from OpenStreetMap, an open map maintained by volunteers. Free photos of hotels barely exist, and those on Booking or hotel websites are protected by copyright. So a listing shows a free photo taken close by (labelled “nearby”) or of the surroundings (“area”). Photos of the property itself and reviews are available through the Google Maps link.

How is the distance to the beach calculated?

As the crow flies, from the property's point to the nearest beach recorded in OpenStreetMap. It is a rough guide: the road or path may be longer, and on a rocky coast there may be no access at all. Check the route on the map.

Can I buy tours here?

No. We describe types of tours — what they are, where they start, how long they last and in which season — and link to booking platforms, where you will find prices and schedules.
