A
six-star floating hotel.
One
of the world’s finest cruise ships, the Silver
Shadow, called at Isle of Pines on January 8th.
The
180 passengers and a large number of the 269-member crew
were delighted at the welcome they received ashore and
impressed by the island’s natural charms.
The
Silver Shadow, built a year ago in Genoa, Italy,
is part of a fleet of luxury cruise ships belonging to
the American company, Silversea. It will continue cruising
Australia and New Zealand during the Southern Hemisphere
summer, before heading to Athens in April.
Another
Silversea ship, the Silver Cloud, is scheduled
to call at Isle of Pines towards the end of the year.
•
New
accommodation at Oro.
A
small complex featuring four bungalows (two twinned) and
a snack bar-cum-restaurant has just opened at Oro, on
the island’s East coast.
The
Gîte Chez Régis (Regis’ Resort)
is situated on the edge of the waterway leading to the
well-known natural pool.
Traditional
materials — wood and thatching, have been used to
create an aesthetic atmosphere in a peaceful setting.

Eco-tourism
and a family welcome.
A
new camping ground has just begun operating at Roller
Bay, the pristine, white sand beach, adjacent to Kuto
Bay. Camping des Rouleaux is its name - meaning
‘rollers’ camping’.
Attractive,
basic facilities include electricity, shower and toilet
block, fire places and thatched, covered tables looking
out to sea.
The
owners, Gaby and Christine, can host either individual
campers or groups. Gaby is also willing to introduce visitors
to fishing and other nature discoveries.
