There are beach clubs that try very hard to look relaxed, and then there are the rare ones that simply are. 2Beach Club sits comfortably in the second category. We visited on a bright northern afternoon and quickly understood why people arrive for lunch and somehow find themselves still there when the sun begins its slow descent. Pereybere already has the kind of lagoon most destinations attempt to imitate, all clear turquoise and gentle swells, and the club leans into that n

Routes explore the coasts, each route bringing its own mood. Some days bring encounters with reef lagoons bright enough to look unreal, others glide past small islets and sheltered coves where
