Sapphire sea and white-sand beaches
make French Polynesia one of our most romantic destinations. 118
islands, including the cardinal Bora Bora, house some of the most
beautiful hotels and resorts in the world, to ensure unqualified
relaxation.
They offer a certain 'je ne sais quoi'
with cool French vibes and a laid back culture....
Chilling is definitely high on the
agenda here, but if diving is your thing then this is the place to
be -with thousands of species to discover amongst the lagoons,
you'll be spoilt for choice!
Robinson Crusoe style accommodation,
being waited on hand and foot?....
Fiji is our paradise. Not only does it
have turquoise sea and sumptuous white sand beaches, Fiji has
something for everyone.
With some of the best dive sites in the
world, there are many shipwrecks and vibrant sea life to explore or
if you wish to stay on dry-land, there are geo-thermal mud pools to
wallow and relax in whilst an eco-park allows children to interact
with the tropical animals.
And, don't forget to sample Kava
-Fiji's national drink!
