Rasdu is a small island, roughly 2 km long, so the ocean is never far away. You can walk, rent a bike, or call a golf cart. Sun loungers can be reserved near the pool or beach right after breakfast.

Rasdu's beaches are not the highlight — the sea is shallow and the beach is modest. However, the island itself is beautiful and the all-inclusive offering is generous.
