Maran's Landing is one of the best adult locations in SL.  The build is interesting and beautiful with panoramic views (in SL!) and theatrical sunsets.  There is a fun scuba tour, chalets, stunning forest, campgrounds, and waterways. There are also a D/s (EJ's) house, moss covered ruins and a sweet little beach community with fully functional houses (from tiki hut to mansion). I even found a sex tree!

 Mansion featuring The Tree!
 

 Mossy ruins....with motes.

Thee is so much to explore here, every bend in the trail brings a new surprise!  One of the terrific things about Maran's that puts it ahead of all the other sims is the clean and organized landing point, which features a easy to navigate display board which provides an overview of the build including a "What's New" section!  You also get the coolest free gift ever here (no, I won't tell you what it is, you will have to go see for yourself)!  Even the script meter is fun to play with!

Wow!

 

 A hidden art gallery! And it's one of the best I've seen!

The people here are very cool overall as well.  There is steady traffic here so the perving options are good....the only problem is everyone is already hooked up! 

If you go alone you will not be disappointed exploring this interesting and attractive build - and if you do bump into someone here, chances are they will be friendly.  My only hesitation is that it is a free sim and therefore there is a noob factor - but it is surprisingly minimal!  As usual the girls are ok, and I haven't seen any totally noob men.  They range from mid-noob to hot!  There is some lag upon arrival while your browser loads all the lovely textures, but it soon clears up.

This sim is a triumph of design and functionality.  I'm stunned that it's free, which just shows you what awesome people these are.  Tip them and keep it going strong. Also, respect this build or I will come and beat you myself!

UPDATE:  Thank you, CANA Galtier (owner), for your kind words about this article - earning the staff here a 5 as well!

Remember everyone, we love word of mouth referrals!  HUGS!
