The very mention of a holiday in the South Pacific summons images of a secluded paradise, where crystal clear waters lap white-sand beaches. This romantic notion is not so far from the truth; though some islands have thriving modern cities, it is still possible to escape from all of this and find a spot untouched by Western society where you can revel in the natural glory of the surroundings. Part of the charm and vitality of these islands is that their traditional cultures are still very much in place, and can be seen in the traditional Kava ceremonies, lavish feasts and fascinating dances that still take place. It is hard not to give in to relaxation on holiday in the South Pacific, and the region offers an extensive array of leisure activities to ensure that you are spoilt for choice. From sunbathing on a pristine lagoon beach and hiking in the mountain rainforests, to taking a yacht out to explore the area, you are able to indulge in as much or as little as you please, at the local unhurried pace. The South Pacific's excellent dive sites do not suffer from crowds, offering the opportunity for exclusive diving in dazzling lagoons and warm tropical waters.
