BAWE TROPICAL ISLAND

TANZANIA PRIVATE ISLANDS

Zanzibar, the very word itself is captivating; the most mythical island in the world. Who does not know about it?

What has not been written about it? For centuries visited by traders and sailors from remote places, the result today is a magic blend of cultures and traditions, an exotic and cosmopolitan society.

Elegantly lying 5 miles off Zanzibar Stone Town, a 30-minute boat ride, Bawe Tropical Island is an island not bigger than a football pitch. A beautiful island that takes the breath away; acres of lush, sexy paradise haven so skillfully done that you will think it all happened naturally. Arrival at Bawe is something truly unforgettable; a spectacular private island, a haven of peace and silence, cut off from the chaotic outside world. This lost corner of the world offers a very elementary place with no air conditioning. When choosing Bawe, simplicity, anonymity and freedom are the determining factors for the guests - 30 people cut off from the rest of the world, for whom clothing is optional…

Ofcourse, it is your private stretch of sandy beach with barely anyone on it. Only footprints; maybe your own. www.hotelsandlodgestanzania.com/properties/en/bawe_index

Changuu Private Island Paradise (Prison Island) has been described as a Small Paradise on Earth, with its private white beach surrounded by the pristine waters of the Indian Ocean. The islet lies 3 ½ miles to the northwest of Zanzibar Stone Town, and it is oblong in shape, about ½ a mile and 250 yards wide at the broadest part. Getting there after a comfortable 20-minute boat drive from Stone Town by a traditional dhow (fishing boat) takes you to the most unique experience in life.

This peaceful island today drives us through its historical buildings to its past intense history.

Today, Changuu Private Island Paradise has restored these historical buildings to make them living structures, adapted to new uses while preserving their authenticity. The prison ruins have now been converted into a bright living structure, offering a host of entertainment

facilities, such as a café, boutique and library. The Mathew's Restaurant is an artfully restored building that was erected in the late 1890s; its wide veranda, enjoying the invigorating sea breeze, overlooks the irresistible swimming pool at which fresh water is available for the first time in the history of this islet. This awesome renovation has been achieved whilst maintaining the perfect balance between nature and culture. www.hotelsandlodgestanzania.com/properties/en/changuu_index.php

Deep Water Cay was founded by two fishing legends: Palm Beach guide Gil Drake Sr. and Field & Stream editor A.J. McClane. Their love for bonefishing led them to these now legendary flats off the East End of Grand Bahama, where they established Deep Water Cay, the legendary Bahamas fishing resort.

Soon after, they were joined by other iconic anglers and their families as well as some of

the top guides in the Bahamas. The catches made over the years have now become part of the fabric of the resort. While Deep Water Cay has continued to evolve into the ultimate Bahamas fishing resort, throughout its long history the bonefishing hasn’t changed a bit. www.deepwatercay.com

DENIS PRIVATE

E ISLAND

SEYCHELLESPRIVATE ISLANDS

Denis Island is a living, breathing island community, for those who believe giving back to nature is the only way to receive its bounty in return. It’s a place where you can bathe along beaches renowned the world over for their pristine beauty, snorkel in a sea turtle sanctuary, spot some of the rarest birds on earth, and go sport-fishing at the edge of a continental ocean drop-off…and all of that in a single day. You won’t find a signal for your mobile phone when you arrive. There is no in-room internet. No cable television. This is for you to unplug from digital distraction and reconnect to the loved ones you hold dear, and to the earth that you share with them. denisisland.com

DOLPHIN ISLAND RESORT

FIJI PRIVATE ISLANDS

Small, intimate and totally unique – deliberately designed to be like no other. Dolphin Island offers a style of hospitality created around a deeply held personal ethos. When Alex van Heeren founded The Huka Retreats he brought his own, very particular needs as a discerning traveller, to the creation of an iconic brand. Widely travelled, sophisticated yet never pretentious, he was intuitively drawn to create the style of experience that he would like to enjoy, and share with family and friends. The founder effectively became his own guest and in doing so brought about a style of property rarely encountered in the world we find ourselves in today. www.dolphinislandfiji.com

With digital marketing spend increasing every year, more and more dollars are being devoted to influencer marketing programs due to their potential for significant ROI yields with often less resources.

The value of influencer marketing is undeniable and no matter the size, resources, or sophistication, of a marketer or agency, all should be considering integrating an influencer marketing strategy into their social plans, even if their just beginning. The prospect of being able to reach consumers, inside and outside your traditional audience, in engaging ways, and through trusted voices is value that can’t be found through many if any other forms of social media marketing.
