THE BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS With warm weather throughout the year, steady trade winds, calm currents and a kaleidoscope of aquamarine waters and bougainvillea-clad hillsides, Tortola is a sailor’s paradise. This is the yacht charter capital of the Caribbean and arguably the most famous sailing destination in the world. Here you’ll find sheltered, yacht-filled harbours, sun-soaked white-sand beaches, delightful pirate bars and awe-inspiring shipwreck dives. But forget your to-do list, try living life island style. Relax on the beach, bask in the spectacular scenery, taste the French-Caribbean fusion cuisine and explore the tiny villages scattered along Tortola’s shores. THAILAND The ‘land of smiles’ is not only a great value holiday destination, but also offers a year-round tropical climate with the mercury averaging 26 degrees Celsius. Phuket is the perfect base from which to explore the Andaman Sea, offering a gateway to sites including Phi Phi Island, Phang Nga Bay and Krabi Lagoon. You’ll discover secluded coves with majestic limestone islands rising from the sea and gentle palm fringed sandy beaches. Thailand’s world-class water sports, scuba diving, deep sea fishing and snorkelling with exotic fish, leopard sharks and turtles, delicious Thai cuisine, a lively night life and friendly people will ensure a truly memorable water-based holiday. TONGA With water the clearest blue and some of the easiest cruising in the South Pacific, Tonga is a spectacular destination to take a step back in time and slow down. Experience traditional Tongan villages and culture, indulge in a customary ‘beach feast’ and Tongan song and dance performances. Between the 176 Tongan islands, you’ll likely find yourself sailing next to humpback whales and white dolphins as you journey to explore the seemingly endless number of beautiful lagoons and caves. Sun yourself on the white sand beaches and snorkel or scuba-drive with the fascinating tropical fish including blue damsels or colourful shoals of parrot fish.
