Map of Guam

The hub of the Western Pacific and one of Micronesia’s most cosmopolitan destinations, Guam is infused with a rich exotic culture and beautiful landscape. Its unforgettable coastline of striking sandy beaches and crystal clear water coupled with its absorbing history, fragrant cuisine and traditional music and dances make Guam an increasingly popular international holiday destination. Situated in the heart of the Mariana Islands, Guam is currently the biggest island in Micronesia and is bursting with natural beauty. It also features one of the best deep-draft harbours in the Western Pacific making it an important navel hub.

Aware of its potential as a strong tourist destination, Guam’s government is committed to developing the island so that it offers visitors hotels and accommodation at international standards as well as a range of other island amenities. The beaches lacing the island offer many different water sports including spectacular scuba diving among the coral reefs and shipwrecks dating back to the world wars. Diving here is some of the least expensive in the world but no less spectacular. Guam waters are home to the world’s tallest ocean mountain and the world’s deepest known point; the Marianas Trench.

Although Guam isn’t particularly well known for its night life, a New York style night club has recently opened and there are many elegant restaurants and hotels offering a variety of cuisine. If golf is more your thing, there are several courses to choose from. The late 80’s boom in hotel and golf course developments forced Guam’s hotel room inventory up by more than 300% between 1985 and 2000 and prompted the creation of 3 high profile golf courses making Guam a popular choice with avid golfers.
