The largest of Funafuti’s islets, Fongafale is 12km long and very narrow. It was formerly a base for American bombers during World War II, and there are still some old war relics. The atoll is renowned for its vast lagoon – 24km long and 18km wide – which has several reef passages. The Funafuti Conservation Area on the atoll’s western side is a great place for snorkelling. There is limited accommodation at Funafala Islet in the south.

Aman‘s chain of resorts have garnered a formidable reputation around the world and rightly so. Amanjena, the company’s flagship North African resort, is a perfect example of their smooth and sure approach. A palatial estate set on the outskirts of Morocco‘s ”Pink City”, the hotel was designed by American architect Ed Tuttle and melds mellifluously with its surroundings, combining Moorish architectural influences, such as the expansive arches that line the main building, with subtle Asia undertones.

You can see the vast blue lake from everyone of the twenty-four rooms in this small rustic hotel, not to mention alpaca and vicuna grazing on the hotel’s garden out front. Stripy hammocks swing outside in the breeze as multitudes of birds catch fish in this, the deepest part of the lake. It is hard to believe there that stress exists. Photo by: sling2008

It is part of the San Juan mountains of southwest Colorado.
