I just returned from one of the last unknown paradises of this planet and I am still thrilled about it. I' m writting this thread so more people can enjoy this raw paradise of crystal clear water and white beaches.
This magical and beautiful spot is located in the South Caribbean off the coasts of Costa Rica and Nicaragua. 7 km long and 4 km wide, the island is considerably smaller than its touristy neighbor San Andres, located 90 km to the south. Thanks to its size and the not so simple flight schedules, this paradise island remains absolutely pristine and offers tourist-free beaches of white sand, hilly palm forests and crystal clear water.
I stayed at the precious little hotel of Sirius. They are a small Dive Resort. The resort was founded 20 years ago. Since the owner got sick two years ago, his son took over the business and he puts alot of effort in bringing the right people to this paradise island.
Check out their website.

You ll find plenty of information about the island, how to get there and the diving.
The diving was great. The island has the third largest coral reef on the planet.
The diving area around Providencia is still relatively undiscovered. Nevertheless, there are over 30 diving sites readily marked with buoys in one of the most diverse UNESCO protected diving spots in the Caribbean.
I can only recommend this paradise island to everyone who is seeking a special place with empty white beaches, gorgeous ocean and very friendly locals that speak fluently Spanish as well as English.
