GoldenEye – Jamaica
Tranquil and Luxurious Seclusion – When you consider that Ian Fleming wrote all 14 of his James Bond novels at the GoldenEye, you will understand why this paradise would inspire anyone, including you. To say that it is a paradise is an understatement. It is a little world of wonder with breathtaking private beaches, secret coves, lush tropical gardens, a singular lagoon and tropical forests. Here not only is there a wealth of beautiful natural habitats but you will also get a taste of undisputed glamour, seduction and intrigue.
For a more elaborate and once-in-a-lifetime experience stay at the Fleming Villa at the Golden Eye Resort. The Villa is within the resort, but on its own separate parcel of land with its own tropical gardens, private pool and private beach. You have the luxury of a villa holiday and the sophisticated small resort is within walking distance.
Maldives
Diving and Watersports – The Maldives are a collection of more than 1000 tiny tropical islands often with a resort having an entire island to itself. The islands are scattered over quite a large area, grouped into Atolls, which you reach by boat or seaplane from the International Airport of Male.
There is a huge choice of resorts and it can be difficult to decide which to choose. We are going to highlight Meeru and Olhuveli which would both make fantastic locations for your dream holiday. Meeru is on the north and Olhuveli on the South Male Atoll.
Luxury accommodation is paired with private sandy beaches that you can see from your villa’s deck overlooking the lagoon. They both have a thrill-seeking and chill menu of activities for adults. The hotels have special activities for children with a separate play and pool area as well.
Adults have so many options that include diving at a PADI dive centre with scuba and house reef dive courses are available. Since they both have their own Water Sport Centres you can kitesurf, water ski, kayak and windsurf. Enough to keep you entertained all day.
That is not all, these resorts provide an active lifestyle paradise with badminton and flood-lit tennis courts. After your fun-filled workout, you can get pampered at one of the pavilion spas that have their own hydro-therapy pools, jacuzzi, sauna and steam rooms.
British Columbia
Adventure Horseback Riding – Something entirely different that many of us would love to try is horseback riding. Personally, I know it to be a fascinating experience and why not make a holiday out of it? For a prime horseback riding adventure try Tsylos Park Lodge at Canada’s Chilko Lake’s north end.
You can explore 233,000 hectares of rugged mountains with waterfalls, alpine meadows, glaciers, clear blue lakes and interior plateaus on horseback. Once off teh horse you can also enjoy the tranquil nature of Canada’s largest freshwater lake, Chilko Lake, which offers opportunities for fishing, kayaking and boating.
This is a wannabe cowgirl and cowboy dream. Tsylos lodge is relaxing and calm, a perfect wilderness log lodge with large log beams, big stone fireplaces and broad decks that overlook the Chilko River valley.
Rwanda
Gorilla Tracking – Lions are so 1900’s. Rwanda, in Africa, is known for its famous gorillas. Why not experience it first-hand with a gorilla tracking holiday? You can choose between a number of package durations that range from one day to two weeks. Travellers spend up to four hours at a time when they have located a gorilla family to learn more about these gentle giant animals.
You will never forget your African holiday with its natural beauty, stunning environment and perfect, sunny climate. You can include chimpanzee trekking, bird watching and mountain climbing in this magnificent country.
Explore the Wildlife of Rwanda with inclusive game drives and see elephants, find the tree climbing lions and maybe see an endangered Rhinoceros. Need more envy pics for Instagram? Why not enjoy a hot air balloon ride over Rwanda that includes Mgahinga Gorilla National Park and Kibale Forest National Park. In addition, you can include white water rafting at the source of the Nile, climb mount Rwenzori or Mt Elgon and witness the Virunga Volcanoes.
And there you have it! Just make sure to pack a camera with a fantastic zoom so as to not miss a thing.
