A great location
A laid-back spot, Santo Tomas is situated midway along the south coast of the island, less than an hour's transfer from the airport. Being a small resort, you get all the peace and quiet you could ask for, but the neighbouring towns offer the option for something a little livelier.
Fun days out
A promenade runs along the beach with several play areas and there is also mini golf and a small riding stable nearby. For a slight change of scene, the more adventurous can follow a well worn path around the headland to the livelier resort of Son Bou, which takes around 45 minutes.
