Christmas
Vacations On Tropical Islands
By Aimee C. Barnard
It’s
3 months before Christmas and if you want to get away from home
during this holiday season, it’s time to make plans to
ensure a stress-free Christmas vacation!
Some
people may traditionally prefer to go where the snow is, where
it’s freezing, and where Santa has no problems wearing
ultra-thick clothes.
I recommend going where the sun shines the whole day, where
you can frolic on white sand beaches and swim in the warm sea,
where you can go shopping in exotic stores wearing only a pair
of sandals and Bermuda shorts and a Hawaiian shirt.
Already
excited? Well, read on and find out more about these 5 islands
that you’re bound to want to visit during the Yuletide
season.
Solitude In Fiji
Explore
one of The Pacific’s beautiful and more popular islands,
Fiji. Be right on a tropical island and not miss Christmas at
all! You can easily go to Christmas-focused community activities
if you really miss the yuletide season and experience Christmas
with a Fijian twist. And if you really want to get away from
it all, just go to the beach or laze in your very own bure (
thatched hut )
Activities:
diving, beach, spa, snorkeling, island cruise, wildlife exploration
Ave.

Exotic
Seychelles
Seychelles
was once referred to by British General Charles Gordon as the
site of the Garden Of Eden and it’s difficult to disagree
with him. Its pristine white sand beaches, turquoise blue water,
and exotic blend of flora and fauna can easily make you think
that this is the garden the Bible refers to.

hopping

says the whole of Europe is a winter wonderland during Christmas?
Go to Tenerife in Spain’s Canary Islands and you’re
in for a big surprise. Dubbed as Europe’s winter playground,

is home to Spain’s 2nd highest peak, the Volcano Teide,
has a flourishing national park, and of course some of the archipelago’s
best beach hideaways.

Reef, be ensconced in wildlife, explore tropical rainforests

be. This World Heritage Site is rich in flora and fauna and
