Palau Island Beautiful Photos









The Rock Islands of Palau, also called Chelbacheb, are a small collection of limestone or coral uprises, ancient relics of coral reefs that violently surfaced to form Islands in Palau's Southern Lagoon, between Koror and Peleliu, and are now an incorporated part of Koror State. The islands, between 250 to 300 in number according to different sources, with an aggregate area of 47 km² and a height up to 207 m, and are for the most part uninhabited, and are famous for their beaches, blue lagoons and the peculiar umbrella-like shapes of many of the islands themselves. The Rock Islands and the surrounding reefs make up Palau's popular tourist sites such as Blue Corner, Blue hole, German Chanel, Ngermeaus Island and the famed Jellyfish Lake, one of the many Marine lakes in the Rock Islands that provides home and safety for several kinds of stingless jellyfish found only in Palau

The Smallest Inhabited Island

Paradises, of which many dream since childhood.
Dunbar Rock, Honduras

If you plan to visit Cuba; in the near future, do not miss the Island Bay (Bay), located 70 km from the coast. The island itself is nothing special, but the rock Dunbar - it's something....More after the break...

Its current owner has built a villa on a pile of stones, which alone has 6 bedrooms total.
Les Cheneaux Islands


This house is one of 36 other islands, the owner of all this, unfortunately, is unknown. The villa has everything, even the fire tower.
Peach Island, Rhode Island


Difficult to imagine, but on this tiny patch of land is a three-story house with 26 rooms. And all this splendor is worth about $ 3.6 million.
1000 Islands

The smallest house is situated on an island in the archipelago of 1,000 islands (that is the title of the archipelago). It has only one room.
Las Isletas, Nicaragua

In a faraway country of Nicaragua is a lake Kokibolka (Cocibolca). Middle of the lake rises the island, and on the island - a small house, or rather, the villa.

4. Curacao

7. Jamaica



Jamaica vacations don’t just mean luxurious resorts with all amenities at your fingertips.

There are also nature trails through the lush tropical foliage of bamboos, ferns, ginger lilies, orchids, crotons, palms and breadfruit trees. Shoppers will delight in the straw crafts, wood carvings, and other artworks available at the craft park and there is a cafeteria specializing in Jamaican delights such as jerked chicken and curried goat.

8. St. Lucia

9. St. Vincent and the Grenadines

These days, however, the even prettier, quiet island of Bequia is on the rise, thanks to buzz about newcomer Firefly Plantation Bequia and the halfway complete Bequia Beach Hotel.
