Christmas Vacations On Tropical Islands
from: Aimee C. BarnardIt'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.
Excited already? Well, read on and find out more about these 5 islands that you're bound to want to visit during the Yuletide season.
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
Ave. temperature during Christmas: 24°C-31°C
Tenerife Spain - Cultural & Wildlife Vacations
Who says the whole of Europe is a winter 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.
Activities: Visits to archaeological sites, art and natural history museums, explore the Guimar Pyramids, nudist beaches, visit the national park

The Caribbean Beat In Barbados
It's the Caribbean island where dignitaries such as Tony Blair and Bill Clinton indulge in holiday pleasures. And you too can go this Christmas and see what the island has to offer. Bask in the beauty of this delightful Caribbean island; experience its very unique culture which was formed by the distinct and unique influences of the British and the Africans. And laze on its 95 kilometers of unspoiled white sand beach.

And if you really want to get away from it all, just go to beach or laze in your very own bure ( thatched hut )
