A girl can dream, right?
Sometimes when we’re sitting at work or commuting on a sweaty Luas we can’t help but imagine what life would be like if we suddenly won a massive fortune.
One lucky person’s dream will come true this weekend as the next American Powerball jackpot is a whopping $370,000,000 (or a cool €330m for us). And now we can finally get in on the action and play for the big bucks on Mutilotto.ie, which got us thinking, how would we spend that massive jackpot?
Would we buy a new sports car or maybe even a superyacht? One thing is for sure, we would definitely spend some of that cash on travel.
So, to provide you with a bit of spending inspo we’ve rounded up the 5 dream islands you should visit if you win.
Whether you’re seeking blissful relaxation on tropical beaches, up close and personal encounters with the world’s most rare flora and fauna or an exotic and unconventional escape you’ll find what you’re looking for.
For a far-flung adventure- Havelock Island (Andaman Islands)
Situated in the Bay of Bengal, over 1000km off the coast of India, Havelock Island is the perfect place for a summer adventure. The island has beautiful white sand beaches, incredible diving and lush forests to explore.
Havelock is part of the Andaman Islands, which are still home to many of the world’s remaining indigenous peoples. While many of the islands are off-limits to tourists, Havelock is open for business year round.
For a wildlife wonderland- The Galapagos Islands
Channel your inner David Attenborough and take a trip to The Galapagos, a biodiverse archipelago of 19 islands off the coast of Ecuador.
While you’re there you’ll be able to spot rare wildlife species like giant tortoises, land iguanas and flightless cormorant as well as hundreds of rare plants. Visiting the Galapagos is a once in a lifetime experience that should definitely be on your bucket list.
For a tranquil trip- The Maldives
Imagine swimming in the crystal clear waters of the turquoise lagoons before strolling back to your waterfront bungalow. The Maldives sounds the perfect place to unwind and truly relax after your massive win. Located off the coast of Sri Lanka in the Pacific Ocean, the Maldives is made up of 1200 tiny islands so your only problem will be deciding where to stay.
For a romantic getaway- Mnemba Island (Zanzibar)
Voted one of the most romantic islands in the world, Mnemba is the ultimate tropical paradise complete with white sands, palm trees and turquoise waters. It’s also Zanzibar’s prime diving and snorkelling site, with a huge array of marine life, including barracuda, moray eels, reef sharks and lots of colourful smaller species.
For an action-packed trip- Hawaii
If you’re looking for adventure then Hawaii is the place for you. You’ll be able to hike across ancient lava flows, climb active volcanoes, and, of course, master the ancient Hawaiian sport of ‘wave sliding’ (that’s surfing to me or you).
You can also kayak to deserted offshore islands, ride horseback with Hawaiian cowboys and snorkel with giant manta rays and sea turtles. You should probably take a few moments to sit back, relax and bask in Hawaii’s jaw-dropping natural beauty too.
Packed your bags yet? Maybe it’s best to wait and see if you win the Powerball first!
