Everyone needs to get away once in a while, and there are few ways to spend time in such a relaxing and enjoyable manner as a trip to a ski resort.

Visiting a ski resort as a family is a great vacation for many reasons. First of all, it is tons of fun. Probably everyone has at least one memory of a family vacation gone bust. You take tons of time to plan the vacation and to organize all of the details to make a perfect trip only to have the family hate the time spent together. I guarentee that visiting a ski resort will not end in this negative way. On the contrary, visiting a ski resort will fill your family vacation with more fun that you may have ever had before.

Another great reason to visit a ski resort is that it is safe and enjoyable for people of all ages. You can take even your youngest children to a ski resort. Usually there are daycare systems in place for your youngest kids and there are ski lessons provided for children as young as four or five. So do not let the wide range of ages stop you from enjoying a ski resort vacation. Teens will love to get away and burn off some energy on the slopes. You can rest assured that your kids will enjoy the trip just as much you and your spouse will.

A trip to a ski resort is great because there are so many things to do other than just ski. You can spend as little or as much time on the slopes as you want and then fill in your extra time with other great activities. Many ski resorts also have indoor swimming pools, hot tubs and saunas for you to relax and unwind in at the end of a cold day outside. Some even offer massage and spa treatments for cold and tired skiers. Children and teens can be entertained in game rooms or with organized activities that the ski resort staff often puts on for skiers who get tired out.

Begin planning a great ski resort vacation by doing some research. Often you can find package deals that will include housing, food and ski lift and rental prices all in one. This is the best way to have an affordable ski resort vacation for sure. Taking the time for some research will ensure that you get a great deal and that you go to a ski resort that offers exactly what you need. So start planning that great ski resort trip today!

A scuba diving resort offers a chance for divers to focus exclusively on what they love to do and there's no greater vacation than that.

Scuba diving is popular worldwide; the experiences differ depending on the region you visit. Choosing a scuba diving resort begins with your regional preference. If it's winter where you live and you're craving the warmth of the sun, then head to any of the multitude of places that are conducive to scuba year round; the Florida Keys, South America, and the Caribbean.

Be sure to examine the scuba diving resort in which you are interested to determine if they have the features you require. For instance, if you want to have a certified scuba professional guide you through a particular dive, then you need to seek out a scuba diving resort that offers that service. If you want to rent scuba equipment rather than bring your gear, then find a scuba diving resort that offers rental services.

The Internet is clearly a great place to start when it comes to doing comprehensive research. You can find listings of resorts, the amenities they offer and their range of prices. In this way you can comparison shop to ensure you get what you want while staying within your budget guidelines.

Scuba-related magazines may also offer tips on finding the perfect scuba diving resort. You'll undoubtedly find first-hand reports by scuba enthusiasts that examine the benefits of particular resorts. Whichever scuba diving resort you choose to visit you will surely have an experience to remember.

There are countless reasons to think about such a location for your next trip.

First of all, vacationing at a Caribbean resort will be beautiful. There is nothing like sandy beaches and the beautiful blue of the Caribbean waters. You can enjoy the sunrise, the sunset and the beauty of every single minute in between. If you are looking for a place with beauty, then look no further than to a great Caribbean resort.

Another reason to vacation at a Caribbean resort is because of the variety of things that there is to do. You can spend each day laying on the beach or you can busy yourself with a variety of activities. I love Caribbean resorts because they are filled with events and activities that almost anyone can enjoy. So you can bring people of varied interests and find that everyone is really entertained during the whole trip. Boredom is one thing you never have to worry about with a Caribbean resort vacation. Vacationing at a Caribbean resort is great because it is really convenient and often inexpensive. If you look in the right places it isn't hard to find great deals on every aspect of trips to the Caribbean. For example, it is possible to find packaged deals that include airfare, hotel, food and all activities. So talk with a travel agent or get online and find the best deals to the Caribbean. Talk with friends who have vacationed there and get suggestions for the latest and best Caribbean resorts to visit.

Going to a Caribbean resort is one of my favorite places to visit because I can fully relax and be myself in these places. For my busy life, vacation has got to mean the ability to sit back, relax and do practically nothing for many days in a row. Only then do I feel relaxed, refreshed and able to re-enter the busyness of my everyday life.

So consider your next vacation carefully. After all, you don't get to vacation everyday. So look at all your options and see if visiting a Caribbean resort might just be the perfect vacation for you. I guarentee you will enjoy your trip no matter what your travel or leisure goals are. Julee Mitchelsin is a busy travel agent that loves to get away to her own vacations. She prefers a week or two at a relaxing Caribbean resort to recharge.

Socialising: On a resort you are not isolated from other people as you are when staying at a private villa. On resorts you get to meet other relaxing holidaymakers with whom you can have a chat and share your experiences. On a resort there is always somebody up and about and a simple `Good Morning' may make their day as well as your own.

Privacy: Yet on a resort, and inside your villa, you can still have complete privacy to do your own individual thing, whether you want to party every night, read and relax or just sit back and watch TV or go on the Internet. In a private villa (provided the villa is not overlooked by neighbours) you can sunbathe naked if you wish whereas at a resort this would definitely be frowned upon.

Staff: Normally at a resort there are full-time staffs on hand daily =96 whose job is to change the linen and keep your villa tidy and spotless as well as clean around the resort generally. This service can be arranged at a private villa but it is not automatically included.

Security: Just like a private villa, with a resort villa you will have your own set of keys so that you can come and go whenever you like. On a resort you will normally see security staff patrolling the grounds, especially at nighttime whereas with a private villa this is very hard to come by. Normally, in a private-owned villa, you are on your own on this issue.

Pools: Some private villas don't have a swimming pool at all but where there is, it's obviously for your private use only. Resorts on the other hand always have one or sometimes two communal swimming pools, and for those families with youngsters it's nice to know that other guests (and staff) are around to make sure they are safe. Also the swimming pools at a resort are cleaned daily, sometimes twice a day, whereas with a private pool you will be lucky if it's cleaned once a week.

Catering: Most private villas are self-catering =96 but with upmarket villas the owner sometimes can arrange for food to be prepared by a chef =96 although this is not cheap. If a resort has its own restaurant you can eat there if you wish =96 sometimes a meal is included in your booking. Or you can eat out at local restaurants or have cooked food delivered to your villa. Or you can buy produce and supplies locally and cook the food yourself inside your own villa. Please note; not all resorts have villas with cooking facilities =96 so double check this aspect before you book.

Cost: A resort-owned villa should work out at less cost because of the larger economy of scale where more guests or small parties and groups can be catered for. On the other hand some upmarket resorts can be very expensive owing to their location, exclusivity and furnishings. Go for low-cost *** villa resorts if possible.

Private Villa or Resort Villa?

As they say on Samui =96 it's up to you!

Some of the golf resorts are indeed very attractive and provide a unique experience to the visitors. If you are thinking of taking a golf vacation, you can choose from some of the best golf resorts listed below.

The Sedona Golf Resort

The Sedona Golf Resort, situated in the Sedona Mountain Range is a magnificent 71 course golf resort that has been consistently rated with four stars. It is one of the most spectacular golf courses in the world and provides the golfers and tourists with unforgettable golf vacations.

Biltmore Spa and Resort

This golf resort is an excellent place for golf vacations and has been a host to most U.S. Presidents. It is not easy to get reservations at this resort during late October to May, but in summer it is not difficult to get reservations due to the extreme heat at that time.

Las Vegas

Las Vegas offers much more than merely excellent golf resorts. The Golf vacation packages offered by some entrepreneurs include access to the best golf courses, lodging facilities at comfortable hotels, tickets to shows, and unlimited enjoyment at the various casinos. Most of these packages also include round trip airfare making them literally all-inclusive.

Cancun Golf Resort

The Moon Palace is the most impressive golf resort in Cancun, which is famous for its golf resorts. A vacation at the Moon Palace is indeed once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Hawaiian Golf Resorts

Perhaps the most beautiful Golf resorts are situated in Hawaii. Besides enjoying the game of Golf, you can enjoy the beauty of Hawaii with the help of rainforest courses that are offered.

It is very important to make the right choice if you want to see some of the most spectacular golf resorts in the world. Moreover, you must also choose the golf resort where you can take your family and can also get away from the mundane routine of everyday life.

The answer is, it's all a matter of personal taste.

Personally, my favorite Maui resort is Papakea Resort in Honokowai. Papakea Resort has three lighted tennis courts, two 18-hole putting greens and two ocean front shuffleboard courts. There are also two swimming pools, each with jet spa and sauna.

Papakea Resort has 13 acres of exotic tropical landscaping, beautifully manicured lawns, tranquil lagoons with Koi fish and foot-bridges. There are coconut palms scattered around the resort and you will see spectacular sunsets over the beautiful islands of Lanai and Molokai.

Papakea Resort is located near championship golf courses, world class shopping and wonderful dining places. It is very nicely located so you are a very short drive from Kapalua and Napili Bays to the North and historical Lahaina town to the South. The largest grocery store on the island is just a few blocks away so you can stock up on food to prepare in your condo.

Papakea Resort has 11 buildings that house 1, 2 and 3 bedroom condos. All of the buildings have been situated to give you great views of various types. Some of the condos are situated so they have ocean front views. These condos are approximately 30 feet from the ocean. Most of the condos have at least an ocean view that looks out towards the beautiful Pacific ocean. Some of the condos are garden view condos and, believe me, those are not bad views at all. The gardens are absolutely beautiful and it is a very relaxing view.

Papakea Resort has condos in varying degrees of upkeep. Some of them are maintained better than others but that is the way it is at any Maui resort. I will say this, though...you will not have a bad experience if you stay in a privately-owned condo. All of the condos we have access to at Papakea Resort are top-of-the-line Maui condos and they are maintained very nicely! Just stick with privately-owned condos on Maui and you should have a fantastic experience! Chris W. Sutton is the president of Discount Travel Advisor, Inc.

What different between hotel and resort accommodation?

In fact in terms of the meaning and usage they are not much different, that is, they refers to the accommodation for tourist for travelers but resort may have additional characteristics of having beautiful garden or open-air public are available for guests to be able to enjoy with natural environment.

But for normal hotel accommodation, this could means the building of the hotel in the city area were has no garden or green space available for its guest or provide just a little one. Also resort accommodation could refers to the accommodation that located in mountain or woods where tourists or travelers can fully enjoy the environment. According to this reason travelers tend to prefer to look for resort accommodation rather than building hotel. If they are not required to join business trip and have to stay in city central area.

Pattaya is the small lovely city on eastern region of Thailand. It is the small city that well known for tourists of its beautiful beaches and nightlife. There are also hotels and resort accommodations available in this city. However, according the most area of the city is urban area, so it is quite rare to see large resort accommodation available for tourists. However, if you are planning to visit this city, there are some beautiful resorts available for you but you may have to be hurry because they normally have full booking in high season.

Even though it si quite hard for you to find large resort accommodation in Pattaya, but there are some other hotels that have improve its environment to be a resort. One of the good examples is the hotel called Cabbages and Condoms Resort which I have visited last year.

I book this hotel through hotel booking website in very in quite cheap price and the hotel's service is really impressive. For some of you who nay want to stay in city central area but would love to relax on private beach. There are some resort provides this for external guest too.

Booking for hotel in this city is also very easy. It is quite surprised that I can see many of travel agents in my country offering hotel booking service for this city. Even though it is just a small city in small country but the tourism market is very competitive. Therefore, many of hotel booking websites owners try to make a deal with local agents or directly to hotels or resorts to offer competitive prices available to customers.

In summary, it is quite necessary for you, if you are planning to visit Thailand and Pattaya you have to find out for information of hotel accommodation. If you are planning for business trip, so it might not be complicated because there are a lot of hotel in the city. http://www.pattayahotelbooking.com ]]> http://www.artwoo.com/article/best-diving-resorts-in-australia http://www.artwoo.com/article/best-diving-resorts-in-australia#comments Sat, 29 Sep 2007 19:20:00 +0000 great barrier reefhayman great barrier reefscuba divingdiving resortbedarra islandaustraliaqueensland http://www.artwoo.com/article/best-diving-resorts-in-australia Australia is similar to its Pacific neighbors in many ways. But when it comes to the best diving resorts, Australia has it all with the greatest reefs and the clearest waters. Diving in Australia, whether scuba diving, skin diving, or shark diving will help you open your eyes to the different marine environments we have today.

Double Island

One of Australia's more famous diving resorts is the Double Island in Queensland. This exclusive place is small compared to other commercial sites yet it gives divers in Australia the space and the seclusion to enjoy their scuba diving expeditions. Lying between the two islands is a shallow shelf of reefs and atolls where one can view the fishes and the corals in emerald-green waters. Double Island is a resort that gives tourist a paradise within a paradise.

Sea Temple Scuba Diving

Another luxurious diving resort can also be found in Queensland. The Sea Temple Resort and Spa is a resort which is carefully built as an Oasis in a desert. The scuba diving resort has a view to the lagoon and an island pool. It is located on the beach at the end of a front that extends for four miles. This resort puts the corals right beside the splendid suites.

Hayman Great Barrier Reef

No one goes diving in Australia without going to the Great Barrier Reef. In this case, Hayman in Queensland is one of the most famous of all diving resorts in the great reef. This resort provides a unique setting for adventure sports aside from scuba diving. Divers can also go kayaking, water skiing, and skin diving on the shallow coves. The Hayman diving resort is strategically located for easy access.

Bedarra Island Diving Resort

Bedarra Island found in the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland provides a secluded hideaway for romantic and intimate trips with your loved ones. In such a silent and serene spot, the diving resort will make the tourist experience the slowest days where time can only be measured by the location of the sun. It has complete amenities despite the far seclusion giving tourists all the time that they need to do lots of things. One can go skin diving, scuba diving, or go through the adventures of different water sports.

When my husband and I planned our wedding we decided to look for the most romantic affordable honeymoon ideas, but the more we looked at the Wadigi Island Resort, the more we knew, that never mind the cost it just looked the most romantic hotel never mind in the South pacific, but almost anywhere!!

Everyone wants an exotic honeymoon vacation, and Julian and I were lucky enough to be able to afford the Wadigi Island Resort, but having said that we only discovered it from a business acquaintance who thought it would be a great idea to tell us of his most romantic honeymoon ideas in the South pacific.

So think about this, Wadigi Island is hidden in the Mamanuca Islands, but it is just a 10 minute helicopter flight from Nadi Airport.

It is a tiny resort with only three deluxe suites, right on the edge of a cliff, with just the most incredible views.

We had two gourmet chefs, a hostess, maid, and the boat captain who appeared to be completely at our beck and call, so it won't be a surprise to learn that the food was just gourmet, and the surroundings private and pristine.

To return to the food for a moment, when you are on your honeymoon, you want the best of the best, and when it comes to the food, then that is what you get, all totally personalized, fresh, quite beautifully presented, and you can pretty well choose where you want it served to you. I haven't mentioned the drinks service either, our hostess prepared what we wanted when we wanted it, and the wines we were served at dinner, or lunch, were the best.

What we found was a very plush resort, with everything you could ask for in a bigger resort, just kind of scaled down.

It overlooks the beautiful Shark Bay, and the Jamahkiri could best be described as a treasure. It is totally isolated and the bay it is itself in, is quite unspoilt. The room was everything we hoped it would be, in a pavilion style, with Thai décor, with spa-bath, flat screen TV, DVD player, safe, and neat balcony overlooking the bay.

Most importantly the bed was comfortable, with the kind of linen sheets that just feels quality!! Although there is no beach as such, there is a pier, and you can snorkel here, the snorkelling isn't bad at all, or take a kayak and go exploring.

If you want to go diving, then a short walk along the shore to the next cove will bring you to three or four diving schools.

The food in the restaurant was excellent, if a little limited, and the service from the staff extremely good indeed,.

The spa with good reason is rated the best on the island, so altogether a very relaxing place, but your leg muscles will need to be good, because of the walking up and down you will do.

We would certainly recommend the Jamhakiri Resort and Spa as a honeymoon destination, and for couples but not enough for families with small children.

Please however be aware that The Jamahkiri Resort and Spa is only really accessible why four wheel drive vehicles, and if you want to eat out in town, then it's free to get there but the last free lift back is 8.30pm, and it is a very bumpy twenty minute ride down what is no more than a track.

This isolation, whilst it is attractive, you do need to escape in the evenings because the dinner menu becomes repetitive.

So how do you find an all-inclusive that is right for you? And at the same time avoid spending your honeymoon or vacation surrounded by other people's children if you don't want to? Or maybe that would be exactly what you were looking for.

Brands such as Sandals and Super Clubs first and foremost cater to adults. Other brands of all-inclusive: Breezes, Franklyn D and Beaches resorts welcome families with children. And Club Med has developed into more of a family oriented all-inclusive company, but it still has some outposts that cater especially to adult singles or couples.

The fastest way to recognize if an all-inclusive is restricted to adults is by determining if it limits guests to age 16 and older. You can typically find this information by glance over the company Web site or call the 800 reservations number.

The good thing about booking a package deal is that you get much more at a resort than just a room and a bed to sleep in.

A lot of destinations tempt travellers with a list of activities and facilities so broad that a couple couldn't possibly take advantage of them in a month. That's why it's essential to look at these deals closely. Do not get overwhelmed; just relax and keep in mind that quality counts more than quantity.

Just because some services are included in a All-Inclusive resort package does not mean that it is not factored into the all-in-one price. For instance, a couple who drinks very little may do better without a meal plan that includes all they can drink. Or what about a couple who loves to Jet Ski, they should choose a place where Jet Ski is included at no extra cost, because it is an expensive sport.

The family vacation resort of Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort is situated on Labrelotte Bay reasonably close to the town of Castries, in fact about a 15 minute drive.

It sits on a forested hillside, covering in all about 60 acres, and has clusters of white villas climbing up the hill, so much so that if you are in one of the highest villas, you'll be kept fit by the climb. This is an all suite villa hotel, and the villas all have private plunge pools.

This makes the Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort a great choice as a family vacation resort because of the sheer space in the accommodation. In fact the villas can easily become anything from one to four bedroomed.

Equally the privacy of the stylishly decorated villas makes it a great honeymoon resort too, and if not that a good choice for a romantic getaway, with the separate living and dining rooms plus full kitchen also increasing the options in the villas.

The whole place has a Mediterranean village feel to it with the brick paths, and the sun kissed hillside overlooking a very pretty bay and beach.

There is a huge choice of restaurants in the 219+ unit Windjammer Resort, and in fact for the size of the resort you will have more choice than anywhere else on St Lucia. There are in fact five restaurants including Papa Don an Italian Trattoria for the pizza and pasta fiends, then Jammer's Restaurant and Bar is a steakhouse and Grill Bar, and the Dragonfly serves Asian and West Indian food. All beautifully prepared and presented. You can have dinner prepared and served in your villa, make your own meals, or eat in the restaurants. The chefs at the Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort are rated amongst the top in the Caribbean, and they are one of the reasons this place is rated a top Caribbean Family resort, plus the fact that only one restaurant doesn't allow under twelve year olds in for dinner. Another of course is the facilities, which includes a children's programme.

One strongly suggested option is to take the all inclusive vacation package if you like to drink alcohol. What is a very affordable family resort can become very unaffordable when you add a large drinks bill at the end.

There is little doubt that the Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort is a good quality luxury hotel and resort, with a high satisfaction ratio. What guests seem to like more than anything is the friendliness of the staff, the roominess of the villas, the plunge pools at the villas, the food, and the water sports.

If there were grumbles, then they were mostly minor, including only one of the restaurants did breakfast, and the steepness of the hill particularly with children after a day down at the beachfront There are shuttles, but not very often when you want one.

All in all as a family vacation resort the Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort does well. It is affordable, and the all inclusive option is a good one. It isn't totally a luxury hotel and resort, but it has a pretty good try, and would be a good choice as a romantic honeymoon destination especially if you book one of the very private villas.Kelly Wilson runs St Lucia Vacation Spots as well as being a contributor on occasions to Worldwide Vacation Spots and he thinks it would be worth your while to check out Caribbean Vacation Spots especially any information you can find about St Lucia.]]> http://www.artwoo.com/article/what-to-expect-from-a-spa-resort http://www.artwoo.com/article/what-to-expect-from-a-spa-resort#comments Wed, 29 Oct 2008 18:15:22 +0000 world spabody scrubsmassage treatmentsspa resortsspa resortmassage techniquessteam bath http://www.artwoo.com/article/what-to-expect-from-a-spa-resort spa resort is a welcome opportunity to get away from the busyness of life and to have a chance to relax and be pampered for a time. Generally it's expected that you live your cellphone or blackberry off while you are there and spend time relaxing, reading, napping and not worrying. Because most people go to spa resorts to relax, many spas actually ask you to turn your cellphones off and some do not have TV, Internet or other distractions so that you can actually relax and mentally and physically unwind. Their are a variety of treatments that you can get when you are at a spa resort including: Massage, steam bath, exfoliating facial and body treatments, manicures, pedicures as well as procedures that will likely be individual to each spa such as a certain types of body scrubs and massage treatments.

If you have never been to a spa before you may have a number of reservations and concerns about what to expect when you are at the spa resort. For many that have never been to a spa resort before, the first reservation to deal with is the idea that you will have to remove your clothes and allow others to see you body while you are having a massage. The staff at spa resorts are very professional and modesty and a clients comfort are very important. They have procedures in place that allow you to be covered up and don't allow the massage therapist to see things that you would prefer to keep private. They are not expecting you to be comfortable "baring all" nor will you be expected to do something outside your comfort zone.

Many of the treatments that are performed at Spa resorts have origins from all over the world. Many of the massage techniques stem from techniques used for thousands of year in the eastern parts of the world. Spa resorts employ professional therapists that have been trained in their respective field and have many years experience. Because you are working with professionals and they are their to help you to relax and enjoy your time at the spa resort, they are open to hearing your feedback on the procedures. If there is something that you are not comfortable with or would prefer to have different music or anything else that may help you to relax and feel comfortable, the staff are usually very attentive to these requests.

Spa resorts can be located all over the world and will often take advantage of the natural beauty of the area in which they are located. Some of the worlds most well known and popular spa resorts are in places like: Iceland, California, Nevada, Hawaii, New York and many other locations throughout the world.

If you have never had the opportunity to spend time at a spa resort, you should try it at least once. Don't let your ideas and concerns about what might take place at a spa resort to stop you from actually going and enjoying your time there.Learn more about spas in Dallas and see what you've been missing.

It is around 130 Km northwest of the airport, and is home to around 5 resorts, which were uninhabited but have now been converted to quality hotels.

The Baa atoll is normally reached from the airport by seaplanes and speedboats. It's a long way on a speedboat so a seaplane flight is the recommended way.

The resort islands are still completely unspoiled and here you will find some of the best snorkelling, diving and surfing spots in the Maldives

There is no doubt the principal attractions are the unspoilt natural beauty of the Baa Atoll, the untouched beaches, and the pristine condition reefs.

The hotels which appear below are also a reason for visiting the Baa Atoll.

Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu is a 5 star hotel with 99 rooms which is 124 Km from the airport, and will take 30 minutes by sea plane.

Four Seasons Landaa Giravaru is a 5 star deluxe hotel with 102 rooms, and it is 120 Km from the airport, with a 30 minute transfer by sea plane.

Reethi Beach Resort is a 4 star hotel with 100 rooms and it is 104Km from the airport, which will take about 30 minutes by sea plane.

Royal Island Resort and Spa is a 5 star hotel with 150 rooms, and it is 110 Km from the airport, and the transfer by speed boat will take 2 Hours and 40 Minutes, or 35 minutes by sea plane.

Soneva Fushi Resort and Six Senses Spa is a 6 star deluxe hotel with 65 rooms, which is 96 Km from the airport and a 30 minute transfer by sea plane.

There are only 13 inhabited islands from the total of 50 islands.

It was as recently as 1998 that the first tourist resort on Baa Atoll opened, followed by four more Maldives luxury hotels, and these resorts have increased employment on the Baa Atoll. The other islands remain as they were, totally unexploited with white sandy beaches, whose only real visitors are tourists on hotel excursions.

Baa Atoll does have possibly the top Maldives Luxury Hotel in the Soneva Fushi Resort Maldives, but the Four Seasons Resort Maldives, the Coco Palm Maldives, the Four Seasons Resort Maldives, and the Royal Resort Maldives number amongst the resorts that should be on your list.

Having said all that it is another world altogether.

Kapalai Island Resort actually sits on stilts on the shallow sandbanks of the Ligitan Reefs. It is not attached to any land whatsoever although over a mile of powdery white sand appears at low tide for sunbathing.

The architects who designed the complex must have been extremely innovative, because the Sipadan-Kapalai resort consists of a chain of chalets that are all linked by almost two miles of walkways, so you will never be short of exercise here, especially if you like jogging. The incredible thing is the plethora of fish just a few inches between your feet as you travel along the boardwalk.

Kapalai is totally peaceful and quiet, just a turquoise sea stretching off into the distance, and yet right underneath is the water which is literally teeming with life, so you can snorkel straight off the resort.

Kapalai accesses the best diving spots in Sabah Borneo, which makes it the best hotel in Sabah if you want to dive. From here you can dive in Sipadan where you will find big fish and turtles. You can go muck diving at Mabul, or stay close to Kapalai itself.

The Sipadan-Kapalai Island Resort, whilst geared towards divers is also a wonderful escape from the pressures of the 21st century. The rooms are a bit like the Maldives were a few years ago, and as an added bonus they are a fraction of the price, and at no time to you feel crowded on this very special hotel in Sabah.

The food is good, very varied, and served buffet style, plus there is a lot of it, and is served almost 24 hours every day.

You can dive five times a day and never go to the same place twice, but of course Kapalai Island resort is one of the world's top diving destinations. Everyone at Sipadan is very helpful, and you will get exceptional service from all of the staff from the divemasters to the hotel staff.

If you are visiting the region of Sipadan then without doubt the airy sunny resort of Kapalai, totally built on stilts is the place to stay. This is an absolutely tremendous resort !
