Seychelles!!!
Are you kidding me?! This might knock Fiji right out of first place. Excuse my rookie status with these paradise like islands…but I have never even heard of this place. And I still have no idea how to pronounce it. So here is the deal, it’s located off the east shores of Africa, its made up of 41 islands and roughly 74 sand cays, the flight from London is about 10 hours they say, the temp ranges from 75-90 degrees and the water is crazy tropical and gets as warm as 84 degrees – 100% tropical paradise, waterfalls, jungle, all sorts of rare/endangered tropical flowers and plants native only to these islands, and off-shore banking seems to be a common sport here. Also crazy…the islands are largely composed of granite and over 50% of the land is nature preserve. Wow. Check Google Images for some of the most unreal pictures (1 2 3) I’ve seen in a while. Looks like it’s somewhat expensive…but there are always those little beach bungalow spots. By the way, it’s snowing here.
