Where is Enfidha?

Enfidha is ideally located between the popular travel destinations of Sousse and Hammamet in the north, east region of Tunisia and on the Gulf of Hammamet. Sousse and Hammamet are two of the prime holiday destinations in Tunisia, making Enfidha a great access point to both.

Both Sousse and Hammamet are great examples of old meets new Tunisia. Sousse still retains its large and interesting walled souk and there are often more tourists than locals! You will also find beautiful beaches making it an ideal holiday hotspot offering watersports galore. Hammamet is known to be the first tourist destination in Tunisia and the 3km stretch of sandy beach offers plenty of opportunity to relax and enjoy the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

Where is Castaway Island?

Castaway Island is a small island to the west of Viti Levu, the main island of Fiji. It forms part of the Mamanuca Group of islands. The island’s area covers 170 acres and is largely made up of inhabitants who are staff of the one and only resort on the island. It’s known traditionally by the Fijians as “Qalito”.

I was fortunate to have a little holiday there some time ago. It was a Fijian holiday with extremes! Five days was spent on Castaway Island in a five star resort with adults only, followed by 5 days backpacking along the Coral Coast and staying in either Youth Hostels or cheap holiday houses! It was a lot of fun and a great way to mix with the locals.

Castaway Island was beautiful. Surrounded with white sandy beaches, pristine warm waters of the South Pacific and jungle like vegetation covering the hilly island. It was possible to walk around the island in a couple of hours. In doing so, I spied a water snake slithering across the top of the nearby beach waters. I didn’t take a dip!

Where are The Maldives?

Long regarded as the ultimate in luxurious holidaying, the Maldives comprise an archipelago of 1,190 ancient coral islands fringed with white sandy beaches and lapped by the bath-warm waters of the Indian Ocean.

Originally formed by volcanoes, the underwater reefs surrounding the Maldives support more than 1,000 species of fish and other marine creatures – ranging from tiny fan-like coral structures to sharks and manta rays. The unique structure and rich abundance in marine life has ensured the Maldives reliably appears on lists of the world’s best dive sites.

In the Maldives diving holidays frequently take place on special live-aboard boats. These give divers access to the remoter atolls and, with up to four dives a day included in the price, can provide good value for money.

Other divers choose to base themselves at a particular resort and take day boats out to the various dive sites. However, with 644km of coastline and 200 inhabited islands, choosing a particular resort can vex even the most decisive of divers.

As a rough guide, stay on the western side of an atoll between May and November, as the visibility is better and life more varied on the reef. Divers arriving between December and April should opt for the eastern side of an atoll.

South Ari atoll and North Male atoll provide divers with the chance to feast their eyes on turtles, sharks, schools of game fish and the brightly coloured reef dwellers that inhabit the steep drop-offs known in the diving world as ‘walls’.

Some of the most popular dive sites for beginners include Banana Reef on the south-eastern side of North Male atoll and Maaya Thila off the North Ari atoll. Expect to see white-tip reef sharks, batfish, eagle rays and barracudas.

More experienced divers may choose to explore the protected marine park at the southern end of the North Male atoll. Known as Lion’s Head, this wall dive is subject to strong currents that attract large pelagic species such as tunas, giant barracudas grey reef sharks, napoleon wrasses and turtles.

Other popular spots for caching glimpses of gray, silver- and white-tip reef sharks are Rasfari and Cocoa Corner off the North Male atoll. Both are suited to more experienced divers.

To book an unforgettable holiday in the Maldives with some of the most remarkable marine life on the planet, planet diving holidays in the Maldives promise an unforgettable time.

Where is Davos?

Known worldwide as the host of the World Economic Forum, Davos is Switzerland’s premiere resort village, located in the eastern Swiss canton of Graubünden. The municipality is home to the second largest ski resort in the country, which sports six large ski areas – each specialising in a particular winter sport, such as the Jakobshorn’s large snowboarding pipe.

Davos itself is a picturesque village nestled within a valley between the mountains, and offers beautiful views all year round – the high seasons being winter and spring, when the valley sheds the snow and becomes a verdant beauty spot. Davos’ winter sports scene is the lifeblood of the village, and the resort features 320km of slopes, 75km of cross-country track, and Europe’s largest natural ice-skating rink – and is hence well-deserving of its reputation as the premiere destination for ski holidays in Switzerland. Davos après-ski scene is a little more sophisticated than younger ski resorts, catering to a more mature, affluent kind of crowd, though that’s not to say you can’t find a cheap watering hole if you’re willing to walk off-piste.

If you’d like a brief sojourn outside the town, you can hop aboard the Glacier Express, which tours around the Swiss Alps and even takes in the Matterhorn – offering gorgeous vistas year round, though the Alps in spring are truly a sight to behold. Sure, Davos might be known more for its skiing, but large numbers of tourists visit the area in spring to take in Davos famous mountain trails, which can by hiked or even viewed from the bumpy confines of a horse drawn carriage.
