The Big Blue

A series of unique natural habitat guest experiences that blend the spirit of sustainability with a stylish stay has been announced by Cantaloupe Hotels Group at each of its two boutique hotels in Galle, on Sri Lanka’s stunning south coast. 

Cantaloupe Aqua, which opened in Talpe in 2013, features 15 contemporary rooms overlooking the beach, while Cantaloupe Levels, opened shortly afterwards, faces Galle Bay in Rumassala, looking out over the UNESCO-listed Galle Fort with short-walk access to Jungle Beach near the iconic Peace Pagoda.

The two hip hideaways have combined to offer ‘Big Blue’ experiences, taking guests out into the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean and to the heart of one of the most ideal breeding grounds for marine animals in the world. With nothing but an expanse of ocean separating #SriLanka from Antarctica, the waters off the island’s south coast are home to a breath-taking array of marine mammals, including dolphins, sperm whales, pilot whales and blue whales. And with the breeding ground for a 200-strong pod of blue whales lying just six miles offshore, there are few better places to see the largest animal ever to inhabit the Earth in its natural environment.

Three things you have to do when in Zakynthos: Part 2

ZAKYNTHOS Marine Park is located along the southern coast of Zakynthos and the Strofades, two small islands 50 nautical miles southern of Zakynthos. The marine park was set up in 1999 to protect not only the Caretta Caretta sea turtle and the Mediterranean Seals Monachus-Monachus but all wildlife found in the Southern part of the island.

The Caretta Caretta Turtle spawns along the beaches of the Laganas Gulf. and always on the same beach it was born, the nesting period is from June to August when the females come on to the beaches to lay their eggs.

They can have considerable dimensions (the largest weights 140 kg. and measures circa 120 cm whereas the smallest measures 80 cm.) but, in spite of this, they are very fast, with a big anterior and stiff posterior fins they can reach 30km/hour and so protect themselves from possible dangers.

Whilst on the island you can join many boat trips to catch a glimpse of the Caretta Caretta and sail to Marathonisi - a pine-covered islet nicknamed ‘Turtle Island’.
