Look around the idyllic tropical island with incredible white beaches & dolphins – but only 6,000 people visit it a year
The island is home to rare birds, and the waters are brimming with sea life HIDDEN PARADISE Look around the idyllic tropical island with incredible white beaches & dolphins – but only 6,000 people visit it a year WHEN we think of white sandy beaches and crystal-clear water, images of the Maldives or the Caribbean often spring to mind. As idyllic as those holiday hotspots are, they are often packed with tourists, and finding undiscovered gems can be tough. Advertisement 6 The stunning collection of islands spread across all four hemispheres Credit: AP:Associated Press But what about if there was a dazzling collection of islands with the same wow factor as well-known beach spots, but with a fraction of the visitors? Kiribati is a remote slice of paradise in Micronesia that welcomes just 6,000 visitors a year. For nature-lovers, the islands and the turquoise waters that surround them are home to Spinner, Striped, Fraser's dolphins. There have also been sightings of short-finned pilot whales and false killler whales off the shore. Advertisement Nestled more than 8,600 miles from the UK, the Republic of Kiribati, it comprises 33 islands - 21 of which are inhabited. English-speaking utopia The islands are spread across an ocean area larger than the continental United States. With just over 121,000 people calling it home in 2020 census, many speak English and Gilbertese — a remnant of British colonial times before full independence in July 1979 and UN membership in 1999. The people who live in Kiribati are proud of their culture and traditions, which includes dancing and chanting at social events. Advertisement Maneaba, also known as community meeting houses, are central to village life and democracy. Most of the inhabitants live in small villages and rely on fishing and farming. The group of islands are grouped into three island clusters - the Gilbert Islands, Phoenix Islands and Line Islands. Despite minimal infrastructure, tourism is emerging — yet still tiny. Advertisement In 2023, approximately 8,000 visitors arrived, showing a surge from pre‑pandemic levels and accounting for about 4 percent of GDP and 2 perfect of jobs. Most cruise ships dock here just a handful of times, and regular international flights come only from Fiji Airways or Nauru Airlines. Another wow factor for Kiribati is that it is the only country in the world to straddle all four hemispheres. Smaller than New York City It stretches across the equator and the 180-degree meridian, meaning parts of the nation lie in UTC +14, making them one of the first places on earth to welcome in the new day. Advertisement The atolls are minuscule patches of land — total land area is just 811 square kilometres, tinier than New York City, but scattered across some 3.4 million square kilometres of ocean. Kiribati is also known as Christmas Island (not to be confused with Christmas Island in Australia) and has the largest coral atoll by land area. It measures around 312 square kilometres and is ringed by a vast lagoon brimming with bonefish, tuna, wahoo and billfish. Nature-lovers' dream Kiribati is also home to the rare bokikokiko (Christmas Island warbler), found only on Kiritimati and Washington Island — fewer than 2,500 remain and the species faces threats from invasive cats and rising seas. Advertisement Nearby, you'll spot the elegant Christmas white‑eye and even traces of the extinct Christmas sandpiper, which vanished from the earth in the early 1800s. Most of all, this remote haven is tailor‑made for holidaymakers on the hunt for peace and quiet. Snorkelling, scuba diving, sport fishing, birdwatching — all can be done in near‐solitude. 6 A hut made from a coconut palm tree in a village on Christmas Island, Kiribati Credit: Alamy Advertisement 6 Spinner dolphins are a common sight around Kiribati Credit: Alamy 6 An example of a hut made by the Micronesian people Credit: Alamy 6 An aerial view of Christmas Island, Kiribati, which has the largest coastal atoll by land area Credit: Alamy 6 Tarawa atoll, capital of the vast archipelago nation of Kiribati Credit: AFP

New overnight sleeper train to connect 100 European cities with private cabins and panoramic views
The starting price is cheaper than a return flight in some cases FULL STEAM AHEAD New overnight sleeper train to connect 100 European cities with private cabins and panoramic views A SLEEPER train service is set to launch as an alternative to taking short-haul flights across Europe. The company called Nox has revealed plans to have private cabins with unbeatable views for passengers while connecting them across countries - and at an affordable price too. Advertisement 5 The Nox cabins will be completely private with huge panoramic windows Credit: Nox Mobility 5 Two of the three types of cabin will have 'loft-style' beds Credit: Nox Mobility Rather than queuing at an airport for hours for a flight that's half the time, this company has an alternative that sounds pretty good, if it gets off the ground. Berlin start-up Nox wants to "build a real alternative to short-haul flights" with entirely private rooms on its sleeper trains from 2027. Nox hopes to connect lots of cities across Europe starting with the likes of Stockholm, Vienna, Amsterdam, Toulouse, Barcelona all the way to Reggio di Calabria in Italy. And while you might be thinking that's an unpleasant journey sitting next to a stranger, well these cabins are completely private. Advertisement Inside will be a 2-metre-long bed, chair, storage, charging ports and panoramic window to gaze out of. On its website, Nox said: "Nox will focus on privacy, good sleep and affordable prices. "You will not need to share your room with strangers and can lock it from in- and outside. On top, we aim to offer ticket prices as low as air fares." It continued to add that the spacious design meant all personal luggage and items could also go into the cabin and not be left outside. Advertisement While tickets aren't yet on sale, Nox hopes to be as "affordable as a flight." It estimates single rooms will be as low as €79 (£68.77), with double rooms from €149 (£129.70). Picturesque English town is getting new £27m train line for first time in 60 years – & will cut journey times by an hour 5 The cabins have storage as well as places to sit and work Credit: Nox Mobility 5 Eventually Nox wants to connect 100 European cities Credit: Nox Mobility Advertisement Nox added that prices will be "flexible depending on demand." It will have three room types, the single and double rooms will have loft style beds which passengers can get to by climbing a short ladder. Double Vista rooms have two beds, one being low and another chest-height for easy access. When passengers aren't sleeping, they can convert the beds into two seats. Advertisement Thibault Constant, co-founder of Nox said: "Sleeping while a train gets you across Europe is a great concept. But today people have to share their cabins with strangers, beds are tight, and it's often more expensive than air travel. "We want to change that and make night trains an essential part of European travel." Nox is asking keen travellers to sign up for 'Early Bird perks' like 20 per cent off their first booking. There's also a free welcome drink and the chance to book a week before anyone else. Advertisement Other possible perks include premiere ride lottery, behind-the-scenes tours and testing before the official launch. Plus, the seven stunning European cities that Brits could take direct trains to as London station plans huge expansion. And the little-known UK train trick that lets you visit up to three destinations for the price of one – and the best routes to do it. 5 Nox hopes to launch its first route across Europe by 2027 Credit: Nox Mobility

Another European airport is losing all of its Ryanair flights this year
Plus, the other axed route where the airport is at risk of closing NO GO Another European airport is losing all of its Ryanair flights this year THREE destinations in France are being ditched by Ryanair this winter. Ryanair announced it would be axing flights from three airports in France later this year due to the "astronomical" rise in air tax by the French government. Advertisement 4 The commune of Brive will no longer get direct flights from Ryanair Credit: Alamy 4 The commune has a bustling food scene as well as annual fairs Credit: Alamy Ryanair said in a statement that the decision to stop routes to cities such as Brive, is because of the French government's decision to increase air tax by 180 per cent which they called "astronomical". The airline added: "In response to this government tax, Ryanair will cease operations to Bergerac, Brive, and Strasbourg, and reduce capacity at several other French airports." Ryanair currently operates two flights per week between London and Brive which is the biggest commune in Corrèze, and it's capital is Tulle. Direct flights from London Stansted to Brive will stop after October 24, 2025. Advertisement But if you manage to visit before then, you can explore local distilleries and even Lamy Chocolate Factory which create sweet treats. Brive has a large food market held three times a week in Georges Brassens Hall with more than 200 sellers where you can pick up lots of tasty local produce. In the winter months, Brive is known for holding traditional winter fairs called Foires Grasses. It also holds Foires Franches, a summer fair which has children's fairground rides, markets, games throughout the town and firework displays. Advertisement Other destinations that have been axed are Strasbourg, aka the Capital of Christmas. The third destination that Ryanair will no longer fly to is Bergerac. The beautiful French town with Venice style canals 4 Brive is part of the Dordogne Valley which has plenty of shops and restaurants Credit: Alamy Bosses at this French airport even fear that the terminal could close as a result. Advertisement Last week, Christophe Fauvel, president of the Dordogne Chamber of Commerce (CCI) explained that Ryanair stopping flights could lead to the closure of Bergerac Airport. Talking to French media, Christophe said: "It is what happens next that worries us. "If Ryanair decides to follow through on its threat and leaves Bergerac for good the airport may face closure". Bergerac Airport estimates that it will lose 18,000 passengers and a seven per cent loss of its annual passenger numbers. Advertisement Last year, Ryanair pulled its service to Bordeaux Airport – a decision that was finalised in October 2024. In early 2025, the airline also cut its route to Vatry. For anyone going away for the summer, check out this full list of UK airline hand luggage rules for peace of mind. And take a look at this underrated French city that has a 'bit of everything' with picturesque beaches and new cheap hotels. Advertisement
