Forget Swimming With Dolphins, 2009 Is All About Swimming With Pigs!

This little piggy went to market, and this little piggy went…swimming in the Bahamas?!

This may not be how the nursery rhyme ends, but when staying at Royal Plantation Island at Fowl Cay, it really is possible to go ‘swimming with the pigs’!

Each of the six-villas on the stunning 50-acre Royal Plantation Island come with their own motorboat, so guests can easily hop across to Pig Beach on neighbouring uninhabited island Big Major Spot, for one of the most unusual holiday activities possible. Here they can marvel the curiously graceful water ballet of the island’s rotund wild pigs, who paddle out to greet the boats!

Royal Plantation Island is tucked away in the quiet centre of the Exuma chain of islands in the Bahamas. The elite resort features six freestanding one-, two- and three-bedroom villas. The island can also be rented in its entirety, sleeping up to 30 people in total. In 2007, the property was given a modern-design facelift and features a fine-dining restaurant, bar, clay tennis courts and walking track. Plans are also in place to add a beachfront bar & grill, four new villas, and a Red Lane Spa to the resort.

Each of the island’s villas have central air conditioning, a full kitchen (generously stocked with breakfast and snack provisions; lunch, inner, and house beverages are included in room rate), satellite TV, VCR, CD, and DVD players, and Molton Brown amenities. Each villa also has its own dedicated golf cart for exploring the island, beach-cruiser bicycles, and a motorboat to take excursions to uninhabited islands, diving reefs, and fishing spots.

With the current ‘stay 7 nights, receive 1 night free offer’, prices start from just £8325 per villa, was £9,504 per villa, based on 2 people staying 7 nights in Lindon Villa. Price includes flights and accommodation for travel dates December 2009 – March 2010.
