Island getaways

Feeling tired of the overcrowded islands in South East Asia? Papua New Guinea is a great choice. With hundreds of islands scattered in Milne Bay and Bismarck Archipelago you will find both - rustic Robinson Crusoe type getaways or luxury style resorts. It doesn't matter what you choose, you will be overwhelmed by the postcard perfection. Coral-ringed islands, palm-fringed beaches with sparkling white sand and luminous coral reefs filled up with 'fish soup', are among the attractions worth mentioning. Bonus - hospitable villagers will make you feel special as only a few travelers dare to venture off the beaten track. If laying on the beach is not your thing, the opportunity for adventure is just staggering. Island - hopping has unlimited options, especially in Milne Bay which has more than 600 islands, of which about 160 are inhabited. Take your snorkelling gear and explore those little undiscovered gems.
