Mauritius

Bora Bora
For a taste of the ultimate tropical getaway, there’s no better island than Bora Bora. This small iconic paradise in the South Pacific is a playground for beach lovers, snorkelers, and divers.
Explore the colorful coral gardens and tropical fish below the surface, or take a small boat around to explore the dozens of nearby uninhabited islands. Above the surface, you can relax by the pool in your overwater bungalow, kayak to nearby waterfalls, snorkel in the shallow lagoon, or just soak up some sun on the soft white sands. It doesn’t get any more exotic than this.
Palawan, Philippines
Just off the coast of the Philippines lies Palawan – a paradise for explorers and beach-lovers alike. Its crystal-clear waters, secluded lagoons, and abundant coral reefs make it an ideal destination for scuba diving and snorkeling.
For dry-land activities, there are plenty of places to explore too. Head to the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, the world’s longest navigable underground river, take a boat to the nearby Rabbit Islands, or explore the lush, mountainous interior of the island.
Fiji
Fiji – a perfect combination of crystal-clear waters, stunningly white sand beaches, and lush rainforest – is the ideal escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. With hundreds of islands to explore, you’ll be spoilt for choice.
Dash through the shallow lagoon at Port Denarau and take a private charter out to one of the nearby pristine coral reefs. Lounge on the beach of Monuriki Island, go deep sea fishing in the deep waters of the Mamanuca Islands, or take a hike through the mountainous interior. There’s a whole world of exploration and adventure in this South Pacific paradise.
