‘To Sua’ literally translates to ‘gigantic swimming hole’, and this piece of magic is surrounded by beautifully green gardens so you can float on your back while spotting butterflies, tropical birds and even a few lizards.

The swimming hole is about 30 metres down a ladder that has been installed to allow visitors to access the hidden lagoon. The currents are usually pretty mellow but can get a bit choppy if the weather is stormy.
