ALLURED BY THE WORLD: From the very beginning our philosophy has always been to let the traveller develop his own “tailor made” voyage. Dubai: the town of the future, where men rule on the strength of nature. The town where you can see more skyscrapers than in Manhattan, where architects uttered with shapes and dimensions. The town of “Thousand and One Night” hotels where Burj al Arab (Arabic Tower), a luxury hotel of the shape of a sail that arise on an artificial island, stands out as the first 7 stars hotel in the world. Dubai is one of the United Arab Emirates. Ras al Khaimah and Fujeirah with their golden beaches are worth a visit, or Abu Dhabi the biggest of the seven United Arab Emirates and the capital of the Federation. Oman: Sultanate of Oman is a country for voyagers, not tourists. Most of the local population ignore the meaning of the word tourism that is a relatively recent phenomenon for this country. Whereas the concept of hospitality is very well known. And you will always be treated as a guest in a country where it is still possible to experience the “Thousand and One Nights” atmosphere. Seychelles: naturally exclusive. Beyond its white beaches and palms, the natural environment is impressive and represent a birthright where numerous endemic species find their perfect habitat. One of the peculiar aspect that identify Seychelles from many other destinations, is the number of islands that can be visited and combined. Each island has its own atmosphere with its own rhythms, colours and perfumes that makes it different from the others. Mauritius: you will be bewitched by this island: the beauty and charm of the landscape that appears untouched and primitive although, in the last two centuries, it has been manipulated by man with the sugar cane cultivation. The Central Market is the ideal place to discover frames of real life. An impressive colour palette: pitchy blue is the background for endless tones of turquoise, green and light blue centred by tiny green spots with glare white edges: if this is what you see from the windows of the aeroplane, you reached Maldives. Australia: a continent that's all to be discovered, the meeting point of opposite ends that live together in perfect harmony. Your sight shall wander the red of the desert then the green of the rain forest, the charming down-under towns to end up in the relaxing blue of the Great Coral Reef. New Zealand: where nature rules uncontested all over the land. The glaciers in the southern part, the forests in the middle, hot water geysers surrounded by beaches. Everywhere a green blanket and 45 million grazing sheep. You will be fascinated by the Maori culture and the many extreme sports such as Bungee Jumping. Japan: a voyage in the country of the rising sun offers the opportunity to see a world of secular traditions that merged, apparently without contrast, with the most advanced technology. You can prise the blooming cherry trees that colour Kyoto in Spring and see the blueish top of the Fuji mountain, or touch the wonderful waters of Okinawa arcipelago. Polynesia: different groups of small islands and atolls (approximately 118) spread on a wide area in the South Eastern Pacific Ocean. The ultimate dream destination. The Marquesas Islands is a remote archipelago at three hours flight from Tahiti. The islands are of an astonishing wild beauty. The Fiji archipelago is a paradise of small and big islands covered by emerald vegetation and plunged in the gorgeous lagoons of the Pacific Ocean. And the incredible beauty of nature pairs to the extraordinary Fijian people warm-hearted and spontaneous. Cook Island are a untouched paradise and offer charming landscape that swaps from green luxuriant volcanic islands at South to flat coral atolls at North. New Caledonia: hosting the second largest coral reef in the world, New Caledonia is ideal for diving and snorkelling. A land where corals merge to rocks, pines to palms, jungle to the beaches, where it's up to the tide to decide the shape of the island. You can arrive by canoe or by small boats with little draft through the narrow canals that lead to beautiful isolated bays. The Samoa islands are in the heart of the Southern Pacific Ocean. The mountains are covered by beautiful and thick rain forests while the coco palms give to the beaches the typical aspect of the Southern Seas. This is where the true spirit of Polynesia can be found, as it remained untouched by civilisation, therefore bear in mind that departure time for Samoan people is just a “rough idea”. The Reign of Tonga is the place in the world where the sun raises first on each new day. It is one of the few places in the world that had not been colonised and the population could keep their customs and traditions. Tours offer visits to volcanoes, wrecks, canyons, coral reefs and a surprising variety of fish, the boat excursions give the opportunity to watch and swim with whales. Vanatu: the Eden garden. Turquoise waters, a nature that is incredibly alive and coloured, many tribal populations still living as in the neolithic age. Kiribati: a fist of atolls where you can find more coconut palms than inhabitants. The ideal place for diving or fishing. The underwater visibility is generally excellent and the sea fauna is very rich, whether you wish to look at it through a diving mask or fishing from a boat. The Kiritimati, known as Christmas island, is the biggest coral atoll of the world and is famous for its large bay called the Bay of Wrecks due to the numerous ships that sunk there. Papua New Guinea: the remote, wild and charming land of the Papu community, is part of the most hidden and inaccessible territories in the world: one of the last places where there are still unexplored areas. Land of adventurers looking for a total exoticism, the country gathers more than 600 tropical islands with beautiful underwater scenery, covered for three fourths of its surface by primary and secondary forest. A unique experience in strict contact with some of the most “primitives” populations on the planet. |
