If you are looking to disappear, Kiribati is far away, hard to get to and truly amazing. With more coconuts than people and deep blue waters as far as you can see, this group of islands offers true peace and quiet.
Kiribati is slightly off of the beaten path and offers a chance to see the Pacific in its natural state. Plan to spend plenty of time island-hopping across the country by private yacht, boat or plane. Stop at the famous Christmas Island, the world's largest atoll. Watch the new day have its first beginning at Millennium Island, where time starts every day.
Swim in beautiful lagoons, shop in the fresh markets and enjoy the lazy days. Or sail the waves and dive the reefs. Reef walking is an extremely popular activity. Watch the flying-fish dive, while islanders paddle their canoes out at night under torches of burning coconut stems.
On the Kiribati islands, life is a relaxing state of mind—you can't help but join in.
