Win a 2-Week Holiday Every Year for the Rest of Your Life!!!!!

Win a 2-Week Holiday in the Maldives Every Year for the Rest of Your Life!!!!!

From: www.themovechannel.com

We would all love to take the holiday of a lifetime – but how about the holiday for a lifetime – that is exactly what one of the world’s top luxury resorts is offering one lucky winner, so read on to find out how to win two weeks in the Maldives every year until you reach 65…

Win a 2-Week Holiday at Coco Palm Every Year for the Rest of Your Life

Now, those 65 year old amongst us may be slightly disgruntled to hear that 65 is deemed as ‘a full lifetime’ for the purposes of this competition, but none the less, it’s still a fabulous prize. (Especially in these credit crunched times).

Coco Palm Bodu Hithi in the Maldives, is running an global online competition to win a two-week holiday every year ‘for life.’ The competition is being run alongside the resort’s brand new website.

The “Pack your suitcase” competition will require participants to search the website for hidden suitcases. Each day a new suitcase will be hidden somewhere within the English language section on the website.

Every suitcase will contain a travel item and participants will have to make a list of the items until 12th February.

Every item equals one Coco Coin, and the more Coco Coins collected, the higher the chance to win the fabulous prize.

The winner gets two weeks for two at the resort every year until he or she turns 65. The holiday can be taken at any time, subject to availability and also includes two meals a day and return speedboat transfers from the airport to the island.

It doesn’t however include air fares to the Maldives, which could be a slight issue for most of us. And if we could afford two return flights to the Maldives each year, would our wallets be in need of this competition atall? Still, let’s look at what a holiday at the resort would normally cost us.

The resort’s entry-level island villas cost £9,600 for two weeks – and that is just for bed and breakfast. The most expensive accommodation is the escape water residence, which is £22,700 for a fortnight.

Located on its own island, a 40-minute speedboat ride from Male International Airport, Coco Palm Bodu Hithi was named the leading luxury hotel in the World Luxury Hotel Awards last year.

Better get your skates on if you want to enter – the competition closes on February 12^th 2010. The winner will be announced on Valentine’s Day.

To enter, visit Coco Palm’s website.
