You can snorkel in waist deep water while hand feeding playful stingrays, tropical fish, and even sea turtles, or dive along the Cayman wall leading to the mile deep Cayman trench. Over 300 shipwrecks make the area a treasure hunter’s dream. The beach was 100 yards away and when you got there it was only 12 feet wide and 8 feet from wall to water. Just go 3 miles north to the public beach it is beautiful. You’re able to see the “Walls” that divers speak of where the ocean seems to drop-off to an endless gray abyss. For those who prefer to stay above, there are Glass Bottomed boat rides available in Georgetown. The North Wall features spine-tingling drops that may bring about panic, until you realize you’re floating, not falling. The East End contains many of the island’s least-explored sites.

It’s a coral island, and the underlying “rock” is coral. Hard as rock, though, as the bumpy roads will attest. There is a sanctuary located on the island for flamingos, ospreys and terns which is supervised by the National Parks Trust. All of these places are right down the road from the Setting Point dock and the Anegada Reef Hotel - this seems to be the up and coming “spot” on the island. In central portions of the island where shelter from overwash and salt winds allow, tree communities occur. The majority of large trees in these forests are evergreen, with loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) being the dominant. Anegada villa rentals do differ from many other islands in our Caribbean villa rental inventory. However, for those looking to explore something off the beaten track, Anegada rental villas will provide a truly unique experience.

It is easy to see why the Al Bustan Palace is rated as one of, if not the finest of the Oman hotels resorts. We stayed in an Arabian Junior Suite which was very spacious and beautifully decorated, with amazing views of the sea, the mountains and the lovely gardens. The Al Bustan Palace is an oasis of grandeur, hospitality and unashamed luxury and is sure to impress even the most discerning guests. The hotel has a private beach, 2 swimming pools (one for adults only), tennis courts and a Spa. A private beach, spacious swimming pool, tennis courts, and putting green are all available for guests to use at their leisure. It is supplemented by 4 resurfaced outdoor tennis courts. Catamaran sail boats are also available for rent.

Paradis Beach Mauritius

by Jim Lawton

Theres and little beach at the Paradis Hotel on Mauritius that many don’t know about. It’s equally as beautiful as the rest, and they won’t run you off just because it’s at the hotel. In fact, we hear the Paradis is pretty nice. The luxury accommodation is all of a very high standard at Paradis Hotel & Golf Club, we would recommend the Junior Suites for a honeymoon, which give you a more spacious room, and a larger private balcony or terrace.
