Here is some enticing info on both of these fabulous properties! TURKOISE, TURKS AND CAICOS Turks and Caicos, once a pirate's haunt is a group of islands in the South Bahamas whose Tiffany-blue sea is a dream destination for beach lovers and heaven for divers. The Club Med village of Turkoise is located in Grace Bay in the north-east corner of the main island, Provanciales. Colourful bungalows mingle with hibiscus trees along the edge of a pearlescent sandy beach that stretches as far as the eye can see. Turkoise is a sport lovers haven! The beach is excellent for swimming, windsurfing, snorkeling, sailing and scuba diving. For landlovers there's tennis courts, flying trapeze, aerobics, and a gym. This is an active adult-only (18 and older) village with a social atmosphere and activities galore! Party the night away with new friends and have the time of your life ­ no one is a stranger for long at Turkoise! COLUMBUS ISLE, BAHAMAS Located on San Salvador, the most eastern Bahamian Island overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, is thought to be the first land where Columbus set foot in the New World. San Salvador is an escape from civilization with a population of just 1,000. Club Med Columbus Isle is truly a gem of the Bahamas with its pristine beaches and crystal clear turquoise water abounding with sea life. It is refined, stylish and decorated with original artifacts from the Far East. Accommodations painted in tropical hues and trimmed in white gingerbread are scattered about the property of 80 acres. Children 12 years and older are welcome at this resort. It is a haven for scuba divers, beach lovers, honeymooners and families with older children. And of course, both of these resorts offer the fine gourmet cuisine that makes all Club Med vacations so memorable!
