Tonga

If you dream of Polynesia, say a warm Malo e lelei (hello!) to the Kingdom of Tonga. This tropical island epitomizes the remote unhurried lifestyle and vivid landscapes of the South Pacific. It’s a place to shake off your shoes, remove your watch, switch off your phone and chill. Life in Tonga quickly takes on a new pace, focusing on the simple pleasures of eating, drinking and savoring the achingly beautiful views. The honesty and simplicity of everyday life encourages visitors to spend time in self-reflection. The indisputable happy island lifestyle is the complete antithesis to our busy techno-based westernized world. Away from the flashy resorts, Tonga is a land where chickens and livestock have right of way and church-life is the main social hub. Stroll gorgeous white sandy beaches in search of priceless souvenirs: pearly seashells, sprigs of bleached coral and green coconuts that have washed ashore. The underwater paradise is just as beautiful. Yachting, swimming, snorkelling and diving in these clear warm waters is an unforgettable experience. Go soon, before it’s too late!
