Today's meaning of a tropical paradise island is not the story book idea of a desert island with a single palm tree. We need a lot more than that. We decided to discover our Top 10 Tropical Island Paradises that we would love to visit in 2011. Wishful thinking I know, but maybe we can manage a couple. So which islands made it onto the list? Antigua - A beautiful Caribbean Island that is part of the Leeward Islands group. Stunning beaches in shades of pink through to white, coral reefs for snorkelling and diving. These are just a few of the things that make Antigua so special. No wonder it's popular for honeymoons and as a wedding destination. Celebrity spotting is almost a sport here, well a laid back sport at least. Our choice location on Antigua is Nonsuch Bay with its secluded beach and 40 acres of landscaped tropical grounds. Aruba - A jewel lying somewhere between the Azure Sea and Sky. Swaying Palms and stunning white beaches are everywhere. Why not stay in one of the Tamarijn's Ocean Front rooms on Druif Beach and watch the Southern Caribbean world, go slowly by. Cayman Islands - Situated in turquoise waters of the Western Caribbean, the three Cayman Islands are certainly the image of paradise. The islands are Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman. Pirates Point Resort on Little Cayman even has a special Lionfish Roundup event which just has to be experienced. Fiji - The South Pacific Island of Fiji of course is everyone's idea of a dream tropical island, situated to the North of New Zealand Fiji has a character all of it's own. It is actually a collection of more than 300 individual islands all with those amazing crystal clear shallow waters lapping against white sandy beaches. The range of activities available are amazing. You could stay at a beach front 5 star resort or back pack through the jungle. Our recommendation is Castaway Island, a stunning 174 acre private island resort. Maldives - A chain of more than a thousand small islands, in fact many are not even islands just tiny atolls that are little more than a short stroll in size. You truly can feel like an island castaway here. Each resort island has a choice of apartments or bungalows on stilts over the stunning seascape. One of our favorites is Full Moon Resort, a narrow atoll that literally takes 20 seconds to walk from one side to the other and maybe 2 minutes to walk the length. Mauritius - Larger than some of our other top ten choices but that just means a wider range of activities to do and places to see. The compulsory sandy beaches and clear waters are here as well as huge tracts of tropical forest and vegetation. For somewhere really special take a look at Le Saint Geran, a private peninsula jutting out into the Indian Ocean. Perhentian Islands - Somewhere east of Malaysia you just might find the Perhentian Islands, a pair of islands lost in time. There are no roads here, if you want to go somewhere you either trek through the jungle or hop along the coastline in a boat. The Arwana Eco Resort would be one of out top choices here. Seychelles - The Seychelles consist of more than 100 islands situated in the Indian Ocean to the north of Madagascar. The Seychelles second largest island is Preslin, this amazing location was once believed to be the site of the Garden of Eden with towering palms and exotic birds and is not to be missed. St Lucia - Rising up out of the Eastern Caribbean waters is St Lucia with its sparkling waves, it's sandy beaches and it's rain forests. Whether you want to dive, snorkel, ride horses or trek through the forests here is the place to do it. Experience the breathtaking setting of Jalousie Plantation in the rain forest overlooking the sea. Tahiti - This stunning pacific island has been the star of many a hollywood movie and so it should be. Once more a huge range of activities in a stunning setting. The Intercontinental Tahiti resort has its own private beach and everything else a tropical paradise island stay requires.
