Find Adam and Eve at Weligama Bay, Sri Lanka

Where: Matara Rd, Galle , Sri Lanka

Coming soon to a tip of Sri Lanka near you ... the Weligama Bay Resort near the town of Galle on the southern tip of Sri Lanka. This new resort is due to open in December 2007 with 24 rooms and bungalows, a Bawana spa, a waterfront restaurant and cocktail bar and a nice swimming pool. Basically, everything you need for 5-star luxury and relaxation in Sri Lanka, or at least that's how they're making it sound at the moment.

Time will tell, of course, but the location is a good start, in a quiet spot with the Sinharaja rainforest nearby as well as Weligama Bay for a spot of sailing. The bonus is that they say the Adam and Eve story originated here and you can make a pilgrimage to Adam's Peak if you feel so inclined.

Right now we're relying on unusually-shaped computer-generated images to see what Weligama Bay is going to look like, and basically it looks like there'll be plenty of wood in the room decor; stay tuned to see if it turns out looking good or more like a hardware store. You can get opening packages like 4 nights in a superior room for $1220 including two guided tours, breakfast and dinner and two spa treatments.

A Mnemba to Remember

Where: Mnemba, Zanzibar Archipelago, Tanzania

If you want exotic, exclusive, beachy, private island bliss, then get yourself to the coast of Tanzania, where you can catch a ride over to Mnemba Island Lodge.

A twenty-minute speedboat ride from the town of Matemwe, off the Northeast coast of Zanzibar, will get you to this little coral atoll. And what will you see when you get there?

A whole lot of beach, and a whole lot of nobody. This island's best feature is its intimacy and privacy - roughly translated, it's you and the sand. And that's all.
