Alongside expert guides and activity instructors, who will entertain you in the great outdoors, each hand-selected lodge and hotel offers supreme luxury, fresh gourmet cuisine and pristine spas, to help guests forget their indulgent-excess and concentrate on having a healthy fun start to 2012.”

The fresh clear water washes away the last of the sins and the desire to catch a wave is so addictive the hours will melt away, along with your unwanted inches.
