Flamingo Beach - Aruba

 Flamingo beach is not located in Aruba, it’s a separate little island off Aruba which is a part of Renaissance resort. The guests who stay at the resort can get to the private island at not extra charge. If you’re not a hotel guest you’re also welcome to visit the island however you need to remember about few important things :


1. There’s only 20 tickets per day sold for non-hotel guests

2.Selling the tickets starts from 7am but there’s already a queue at the reception before that time, so make sure to be there earlier than 7am to get your tickets.

3.The entrance fee is $125 per person. The price includes all the taxes, return transfers to the private island, lunch (you’re welcome to choose whatever you’d like from the menu and the choice is great ) and one drink. The transfer to the island takes 10-15 minutes on the speedy boat.

4.If you’d like to feed flamingos bring some coins in order to buy their food from the machine ( it’s located right at the entrance to the beach). Also it’s essential to get there as early as possible. When we got there on the first speedy boat at 7am there was only few people around. Flamingos were happy strolling in the water and hungry haha so it was easy to approach them. Later on they were stressed, didn’t want to eat anymore and they were literally escaping from tourists.

5.Flamingo Beach is an adult only beach. There’s another beach on the island for families with kids ( I also liked it a lot- so beautiful!) Children are allowed on Flamingo beach only between 9-10am and this is when the beach gets the most crowded. We used this time and went to get breakfast on another side of the island. They serve a delicious and really big breakfast at $20 per person. What you get is : a basket of fresh pastries, a fruit platter, a breakfast of the choice- we went for American and Caribbean and they were both great!) plus a coffee and a fresh juice. For the amount of food you get we found it a great value.

6.If you’d like some privacy or a special treat you can rent a beautiful cabana which is a little beach hut with sunbeds and cute over-the-water hammocks. I have personally not done that as they needed to be booked in advance and we only made a decision to go to the island on the day. But I must admit they looked lovely! They offer different packages and the prices start from $200 per day.

she starts to flirt season. We'll tell you the best travel destinations where one quickly comes
to his neighbors this week. From Positano to St. Tropez, Barcelona to Santorini - here are
the best places for a hot flirt.
My love in Positano
This is in pastel colors in the sun shining in Positano with its wide sandy beach of the nicest
and most romantic place on the Amalfi coast. During the summer months, however, when the day
tourists have left the charming little town. Insiders are therefore in the spring. It is best
to hire a Vespa and make a tour along the coast. Dream destination for lovers and those who want
to become one of the hotel's terrace "Le Sirenuse". Almost all the famous Hollywood couples have
ever had breakfast on the terrace, enjoying the picturesque view of the sea and looked deeply
into his eyes. Romantic as it gets!
Merci Chérie in St. Tropez
The small fishing village on the Cote d'Azur is the meeting point of the international jet set.
Sophisticated, glamorous and very expensive. If you want to meet the stars of high society,
one should remember one address: Plage de Pampelonne Ramatuelle, 83, St. Tropez, Club 55th Anyone
who applies it to the beach with his yacht and run across the wooden planks in the beach club,
it has probably made ??it. For in the Club 55 is: in is who's in there. Celebrities, models,
or would-be VIPs celebrate and flirt every day until the early morning hours.
Hasta mañana in Barcelona
You want a real scandal? With relish, breathless and a little wicked? Then you are out of place
in Paris. Even Rome is blessed and romantic. The city of Barcelona for certain hours is: Vibrant,
almost overly attractive, enviably cool, a bit of the track, the Mediterranean Sea just outside
the front door and surrounded by the sun. This mixture attracts young, pretty people and provides
loose flirting mood. The hottest parties in town are currently increasing at the new W Hotel.
High up in the Eclipse Club and on the terrace of the wet bar celebrating the life of the city.
So just the right, to place at the Spanish club music sunset and a bottle of Cava to behead and
to join the fray.
Kalimera in Santorini
The Cycladic island of Santorini is the place for all romantics and fans of blood-red sunsets.
The best views are in Oia, Imerovigli and Fira, the picturesque villages on the coast.
In the outdoor cafes and bars of Oia one comes with a glass of retsina in hand at the spectacle
of nature, sometimes it is even applauded. The most beautiful spots of Santorini is not on
the coast, but most of the small church of Panagia Kira on a hill a few miles outside of Oia.
From here you can look over rolling vineyards directly to the deep blue Aegean Sea.

Tropical Dream

Off the Indonesian island of Bali to hide the Gilis. Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air are
small islands near Bali island dream-sister Lombok. The mini-islands are only one kilometer wide
and surrounded by turquoise blue waters of the Indian Ocean. Luxury hotels, hipsters,
party - these are the key words that come immediately to any Bali. Previously, the Gilies were
difficult to reach from there, there were a few tourist services, but more than 40 miles of
beautiful beach and lush rainforest greenery. Those who held on to something as a hippie,
the trip took it upon himself. Today you sit easily in a taxi-boat, and in less than 30 minutes

neighboring islands.

Whitsunday Iceland, an island of the same archipelago in the southern part of the Great Barrier

occasions the most beautiful Whitehaven Beach was selected by Down Under. Nevertheless,
some walk to the beach usually only a few days guests, because you can live in paradise do not,
you can only visit.
