On Duck island, five minutes by boat from Anse Vata bay, Le Filao sets its table under a large traditional faré, in a setting where art holds a real place. The house serves breakfast and a midday buffet, and several taxi-boats leave Anse Vata to reach the islet. Once there, the team helps you navigate between sun loungers, the underwater trail and the open-air art collection, which turns the walk into a cultural visit. The format suits a full day of unwinding: meal, swimming, a nap in the faré shade and a Pacific art tour. Book your table.
