Dundee Resort

Cape Breton Island’s Active Playland – Dundee Resort

Dundee Resort, located in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada, is the perfect place for a healthy, active vacation or for taking a mental break. Breathing in the fresh air with the scent of pine trees and surrounding biomes at Dundee can be invigorating on its own. But wait until you jump into the Bras d’Or Lake! Dundee Resort sits right on the Bras d’Or Lake and is a salt-water estuary watershed ‘inland sea’ with three passages to the Atlantic Ocean. The water is so clean, and swimming in the semi-salty water is like taking a giant Epsom salt bath with all the benefits and more. The surface temperature is a warm 16℃ in the summer, but it can also be quite chilly for all you Wim Hof fans looking for a cold dip. Visit the onsite Lakeside Adventure Center and enjoy paddle boats, kayaks, canoes, tennis, volleyball and beach swimming.

Golfing in Malaysia

Striking scenery, exotic cultures and cuisines and a variety of tropical courses. Just don’t stray too far from the fairways. MALAYSIA for golf—halfway around the world just to chase that dimpled ball up and down fairways? The answer is: Yes, if you love adventure. The destination is an intriguing brush with different cultures, varied histories and fabulous food that reflects the Malay, Indian and Chinese population. There is history here. The Klang and Gombak rivers meet at the city of Kuala Lumpur. KL to the locals, it means “muddy river junction.” When the Chinese arrived in 1857 looking to mine tin, the place was a heavy forested jungle. There was a lot of fighting over the tin and eventually the British took control. The British influence is still evident in a lot of the city’s architecture. The Indian and Chinese cultures are also very strong throughout the city. Is Malaysia
