SOUTH PACIFIC

Embodying unmatched natural beauty in every way, shape and form, it’s no wonder that this expansive region is readily referred to as paradisal

30,000 different forms of natural paradise

Home to 30,000 islands that are scattered across the world’s largest ocean, the South Pacific remains incomprehe­nsible, if not mystifying, even to the most budding explorer.

These dispersed pockets of land do have one characteri­stic in common, however. Each, in its own way, resembles a natural form of paradise.

Renowned for stunning golden coastlines and crystal-clear blue waters that almost always go hand in hand, the South Pacific islands have acquired legendary status for their natural beauty. And rightly so.

Often the most substantia­l headache that the region provides is which of the many islands to choose from as there is quite literally thousands on offer. Whether it’s Tahiti with its diving and surfing offerings, Fiji and its expansive cultural histories or Vanuatu and its fiery volcanoes, you’ll never be short of things to do wherever you go.

Whatever may take your fancy, however, it’s definitely worth getting away from the relaxation-inducing comas of resorts and beaches to explore any of these islands’ inland offerings. These fascinatin­g worlds are home to tropical rainforest­s and towering waterfalls that will truly and undoubtedl­y take your breath away.
