A Piece Of Paradise To Call Your Own - Ratua Private Island New At Welcome Beyond
Welcome Beyond is happy to announce that Ratua Private Island in Vanuatu Archipelago in the South Pacific Ocean is now part of our selection of unique vacation homes & boutique hotels worldwide.
Online, April 27, 2011 (Newswire.com) - On a sailing trip around the world the French couple Isabelle and Marc discovered a jewel-like island in the Vanuatu Archipelago - Ratua, a small island of 146 acres with lush tropical gardens and picture perfect beaches. After several meetings with the village elders, the couple adopted the island and created a magical place with 15 Indonesian-style villas and an overwater spa.
Following a philosophy of ethical and ecological tourism, the owners have taken on the responsibility to preserve the treasured sanctuary. 100% of profits are invested in projects to support the local community, all food served is sourced locally and in the future the goal is to be completely self-sufficient and carbon-neutral.
Guests are cared for at the highest level with almost 60 staff living and working on the island. Guests have exclusive access to the 20 horses roaming around the island to discover the island or lagoons nearby. Complimentary equipment is provided for all activities on the island and its shores.
For the active types there is a lot to discover as well. Enjoy the wreck dive of a lifetime and see the majesty of the SS President Coolidge from bow to engine room, underwater. Or discover the blue holes, underground caverns that connect amazing blue-water swimming holes.
Of course, it is also perfectly fine to just lounge around the beach and finish the day with a casual beach barbecue in the evening.
