Jan Thiel is a polished resort beach lined with beach clubs, calm protected water and a lively dining-and-sunset scene.
About 20 minutes from Punda, Jan Thiel has manicured sand, loungers, a string of restaurants and bars, and gentle water good for families and casual snorkelling at the edges.
It draws a stylish crowd for long lunches and golden-hour cocktails. There is a small entrance fee to some sections.
