Venezuelan Beauty Wins International Acclaim
With striking scenery and spectacular landscapes Venezuela is a country of undeniable beauty but it’s the equal beauty of its residents that is now hitting the headlines. Dayana Mendoza has been crowned Miss Universe 2008 at the 57th annual Miss Universe pageant held in Nha Trang, Vietnam.
Miss Venezuela, a trilingual 22nd year-old from Caracas, took the crown late Sunday night, beating runners up from Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Russia and Mexico. In taking the top prize, which included the $30,000 tiara, a prestigious New York flat, and access to designer fashions and beauty treatments, Dayana Mendoza joins the long list of Venezuelan beauty pageant winners making it the nation that ranks highest in the number of international titles won, with five Miss Universe winners, five Miss World winners and five Miss International winners.
The internationally acclaimed beauty of the residents of Venezuela is echoed in the splendour of the country, with stunning beaches and year-round warm temperatures. Mendoza recently commented: ‘being in Venezuela… It doesn’t matter what happens, you always have a reason for smiling.’ A beautiful destination that is appreciated by residents and tourists alike, Venezuela also boasts the fact that it sits outside of the hurricane zone, making it the perfect place to purchase a second home.
Caracola Beach & Spa Resort on Isla Margarita, just off the mainland Venezuelan coast, makes the most of the country’s beauty, set on pure sandy beaches with mountainous terrain and lush vegetation nearby. Prices start at €79,000/ £63,000 for a one-bedroom apartment and onsite facilities include including restaurants, bars, swimming pools, spa and gymnasium as well as beautifully landscaped gardens.
