Christmas
Vacations On Tropical Islands
By Aimee C. Barnard
It’s 3 months before Christmas and if you want
to get away from home during this holiday season, it’s time to make
plans to ensure a stress-free Christmas vacation!
Some people may traditionally prefer to go where
the snow is, where it’s freezing, and where Santa has no problems
wearing ultra-thick clothes.
I recommend going where the sun shines the whole
day, where you can frolic on white sand beaches and swim in the warm
sea, where you can go shopping in exotic stores wearing only a pair of
sandals and Bermuda shorts and a Hawaiian shirt.
Already excited? Well, read on and find out more
about these 5 islands that you’re bound to want to visit during the
Yuletide season.
Solitude In Fiji
Explore one of The Pacific’s beautiful and more
popular islands, Fiji. Be right on a tropical island and not miss
Christmas at all! You can easily go to Christmas-focused community
activities if you really miss the yuletide season and experience
Christmas with a Fijian twist. And if you really want to get away from
it all, just go to the beach or laze in your very own bure ( thatched
hut )
Activities: diving, beach, spa, snorkeling,
island cruise, wildlife exploration
Ave. temperature during Christmas: 23°F
-29°F
Exotic Seychelles
Seychelles was once referred to by British General
Charles Gordon as the site of the Garden Of Eden and it’s difficult to
disagree with him. Its pristine white sand beaches, turquoise blue
water, and exotic blend of flora and fauna can easily make you think
that this is the garden the Bible refers to.
Activities: beach, diving and snorkeling,
sailing, honeymoon, wedding, island hopping

wonderland during Christmas? Go to Tenerife in Spain’s Canary Islands
and you’re in for a big surprise. Dubbed as Europe’s winter
playground, Tenerife, is referred to as the island of eternal spring. It
is home to Spain’s 2nd highest peak, the Volcano Teide, has a
flourishing national park, and of course some of the archipelago’s
best beach hideaways.

Great Barrier Reef, be ensconced in wildlife, explore tropical
rainforests and laze on pristine beaches, Fraser Island is the place to
be. This World Heritage Site is rich in flora and fauna and is the
world’s largest sand island.
