Paradise at The Blue Lagoon By: Hope Wilkos, Writer/Blogger
Are you looking for the perfect romantic getaway? Why not leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind and jet off to your own private island, Turtle Island, Fiji.
To give you a bit of history, Fiji is an island in Melanesia in the South Pacific. The majority of Fiji’s islands were formed through volcanic activity that began approximately 150 million years ago. With an abundance of forest, mineral and fish resources, Fiji is one of the most developed economies in the Pacific. The people gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1970.
It’s a spectacular paradise to behold. Come alive under the tropical palms and run along the sandy beaches while captivated by the bright blue ocean. Be spoiled by champagne sunrise breakfasts and intimate dinners by candlelight. This was the setting for the movie ‘The Blue Lagoon’.
Take an island adventure like none other. Cottages are nestled along a ‘Blue Lagoon’ and you will have access to 14 private exotic beaches. Accommodations are cozy yet expansive with wood floors and vaulted thatched ceilings in your own villa.
If you prefer the more active lifestyle vs. rest and relaxation, you can easily be accommodated. Go on a sport fishing trip and aspire to catch your dinner for the evening. Explore exquisite reefs in a clear sea kayak. Windsurf or sail into the sunset. Snorkeling unveils a multitude of sea life but the ultimate water sport is the scuba diving. Divers will be amazed at hundreds of species of fish, cephalopods, turtles, octopus, manta rays, sea stars and colorful corals. Some of the more unusual sea and plant life include black coral trees, sea whips and gorgonian fans and sponges. Visibility is excellent and you may even be lucky enough to spot a whale or a school of dolphins. Dive sites include the famous Rainbow Reef, The Great White Wall, Jerry’s Jelly, The Ledge and Annie’s Bommie.
If you are a landlubber, choose from horseback riding, bike riding, hiking, picnics, island and garden tours and the ever so relaxing massage therapy.
