A Stone's Throw To Paradise
| Q | I want the white sands of the Caribbean for our honeymoon - but short haul, as I hate flying. Where do you suggest? |
| A | Ria Benad says: Playa de Ses Illetes is one of the most famous beaches on the island of Formentera, which is part of the Balearic Islands in Spain. Known for its stunning natural beauty, this beach features soft, white sand and crystal clear, turquoise waters. It has the kind of beauty that often resembles the Caribbean, making it a favourite destination for travellers looking for paradise-like beaches. Formentera is one of the most beautiful and tranquil islands in the Balearic Islands, located just south of Ibiza. Known for its incredible beaches, crystal-clear waters, and laid-back vibe, Formentera is often regarded as a hidden gem for those seeking a more peaceful, less commercialised alternative to its bustling neighbour, Ibiza. With a flight time to Formentera at around two and a half hours, it's the perfect destination for people searching for the white sands and paradise feel, but on a short haul flight. |

A trip of a lifetime
| Q | My wife-to-be and I are looking for a wow-factor honeymoon destination with lots of fun activities. Do you have any suggestions? |
| A | Jenny Kent says: My wow-factor honeymoon suggestion would be Zanzibar for a two-part honeymoon, filled with action, culture, adventure and pure unadulterated relaxation! Set off the eastern coast of Africa and made up of 40 islands, it offers the perfect mix! You could start with a safari in the Serengeti or take a trek up Kilimanjaro. Zanzibar is nicknamed 'Spice Island', famous for its vanilla, nutmeg, clove and cardamom plantations. Why not take a tour around one and learn how they are produced? Soak up Swahili culture and wander around Stone Town, the capital of the Zanzibar archipelago. Safari Blue is an incredible boat trip experience, where guests can swim with dolphins, snorkel around the coral reefs and a fresh seafood buffet consisting of lobster, fish and calamari. The trips don't end there, later take a canoe ride out to explore the mangroves, see ancient baobab trees and soak up the Zanzibar sunsets. There are an abundance of fun activities to do including cycling the circumference of an island if you're feeling energetic such as kitesurfing, yoga retreats and full moon parties. Zanzibar is home to some world class beaches, incredible sunsets, crystal calm waters and pure white sandy beaches. The perfect mix of adventure and relaxation all rolled into one! |
