When youre ready to escape the tropical climate of the coast and lowlands, head for the hills, which are verdant, virescent and virally infectious with allure. Impossibly green tea plantations and rainforested peaks beckon walkers, trekkers or just those who want to see it on a spectacular train ride. And then there are the beaches. The beaches! Dazzlingly white and all so often untrod, they ring the island so that no matter where you go, youll be near a sandy gem. Should you beat the inevitable languor, you can surf and dive world-class sites without world-class crowds.
