BEQUIA, "THE BIG LITTLE ISLAND"

Traveling can
be an important part of your life, whether for business or for pleasure. Take
time each day to alleviate stress while traveling or
vacationing and you will thank yourself for it when you get back home. With all
the chaos, jet-lag, partying and other excitement of travel comes a whole lot of
stress on your mind and body. By the time most vacations are over, another one
is needed to recover so taking a few minutes each day to rejuvenate will make
it easier for you to resume your normal life when it's all over. When you want to
plan a vacation contact me!
According to the website: BEQUIA TOURISM ASSOCIATION
The tiny island of
Bequia has a unique, magical charm which is hard to find anywhere else in the
Caribbean. With fewer than six thousand inhabitants, it feels like home from
the moment you arrive; friendliness is the watchword, and the pace is relaxed
and easy-going. Don't be surprised if you are greeted with a warm hello as you
walk along the street - a centuries-old dependence on inter-island shipping and
trading has meant that Bequians have been eagerly welcoming visitors to their
shores for generations.
The island's
enduring seafaring heritage is one of its most striking features. Virtually
every Bequia family has some connection to the sea either past or present, and
today's fishermen, sailors and boat-builders are quietly proud to share their
marine traditions with newcomers to the island.
Bequia fulfils
many dreams of the perfect small Caribbean island: beautiful sandy beaches
where more than ten people may constitute a crowd, lush green hillsides,
attractive little villages, intimate, well run hotels and guest houses, hardly
any traffic, places to get together and places in which to find that perfect
solitude. Variety and choice on so small an island may come as a surprise - but
there are both wherever you look.
Choose a
holiday of total beach relaxation or exhilarating sailing and diving in some of
the most beautiful waters in the world. Get to know the island on foot, or hire
a car and discover so much more than just the golden beaches; take day or
overnight trips to neighboring isles or simply fill up another perfect day
doing what is increasingly necessary to unwind - nothing!
Your choice of
holiday home could be a luxury hilltop villa, air-conditioned self-catering
apartment or first class small hotel, a friendly beachfront guesthouse or a
privately chartered yacht swaying quietly at anchor off a deserted beach.
A choice of nightlife too
awaits you - gourmet international cuisine, or delicious local cooking; elegant
cocktails or sundowners in a local bar; a lively jump up to steel band music or
a wonderfully romantic candlelit dinner far away from it all.
And then of course there
are the warm tropical nights, with an orchestra of singing cicadas and gently
murmuring surf, and the brilliance of the star-studded sky which tells you, if you
didn't already know, that this is where you have always wanted to be.
