Spend endless hours on the beach, explore picturesque villages, enjoy the sunset, visit an attraction, drink your favourite cocktail, try the local flavors. All these at your own pace and not in a hurry.

Renewal without a change of diet isn't possible. Look for local dishes mainly in less touristy and less commercialized destinations so you know what you are eating.
