Whilst much has changed in this corner of Morocco, one thing remain the same- the perennial feeling of escapism, the air of relaxation, and the pervading sense that you’re switching off from normal life completely.
They are two of the most prestigious (if not the most glamorous) events in the annual social calendar, representing some of the biggest showcases of next season's trends and styles anywhere on the planet. As such it’s no surprise thousands flock to the city for the winter and summer shows.
They say ‘see Venice and die’. And whilst it’s true that whoever ‘they’ are say a lot, in that instance 'they' hit the nail on the head in terms of just how beautiful Italy’s city on the lagoon actually is, for us there’s another corner of the country- equally associated with water- that stole our heart first.
If Italy ranks amongst the most beautiful holiday destinations in Europe (and the world for that matter), then Sardinia is the offshore jewel in the country’s crown. An island of unparalleled natural serenity- a place where dolphins guide lazy boats into harbour and life moves at a snail’s pace- it’s understandable it has long been seen as one of the ultimate vacation hotspots. Not least at the luxury end of the market.

The Royal Albert Hall ('RAH'), probably the world’s most famous stage that opened in 1871 under the vision of Prince Albert, earlier this year launched another act as part of its ‘off-stage’ line up - the Secret History Tour.

One can even take afternoon tea after the tour with a champagne option!

With charter flights arriving from the UK several times a day during peak season, and a summer that offers incredible value for money (there is a threat of hurricanes, although as any resident will tell you one hasn’t hit the island in several decades), Barbados lost its reputation as an exclusive destination some time ago. Nevertheless, that doesn’t mean it can’t offer exclusivity once you’re there.
If the south of France is known for one thing, then it must be opulence. OK, maybe we can add to that a couple of other words- ‘serene’, ‘natural’ and ‘beauty’. But, nevertheless, when people think of this Gallic region the idea of luxury immediately springs to mind.
I generally like to keep one day a week free from any form of transportation, to ground and connect myself back to….. me. Me time! We all need more “ME time” so that we can give better “WE time”.If like me, you have often wished that the spa could come to you rather than having to “rush to relax”?
