The tropical paradise of Langkawi island is a sight to behold as you come in to land over a palm-fringed archipelago of coves flanked with bright white beaches. Our flight should have taken 35 minutes from Malaysia’s food capital of Penang, but just 15 minutes later we’ve touched down on the tarmac at the island’sContinue reading “Casa del Mar, Langkawi”

Les Terrasses Suites, Madeira
Madeira is an island with many quirks and idiosyncrasies; not least its weather, which is categorised by a myriad of microclimates (some report as many as 22) bringing all seasons in one day across the small Atlantic outcrop. When one town radiates sunshine, another – just a short drive away – could paint a moodierContinue reading “Les Terrasses Suites, Madeira”
Domaine de Canaille, Provence
Perched high on a hill above Cassis and under the shadow of the mighty Cap Canaille – the towering sea cliff that burns orange at sunset – you’ll find an impressive estate that was firmly at the centre of glamour in the roaring ’20s on the Côte d’Azur, welcoming esteemed guests such as Virginia WoolfContinue reading “Domaine de Canaille, Provence”
Atelier Inès, Naples
The sensory experience begins before you’ve even reached the doors of Atelier Inès, the chicest address in Naples. First, a walk through the chaotic (in the best way) streets of Rione Sanità, where wine bars and market stalls line the streets, and friends shout excitedly to each other from opposite ends of the road. AContinue reading “Atelier Inès, Naples”
The Roseate, Edinburgh
Sometimes you visit a property and you can almost feel its history seeping through the wood panelled walls and corniced ceilings. This is exactly the feeling when you step inside The Roseate, a five-star luxury boutique hotel in Edinburgh’s West End. The city has no shortage of historical buildings, with streets full of Gothic charmContinue reading “The Roseate, Edinburgh”
Made in Louise & Made in Catherine, Brussels
During our latest visit to Brussels, we chose to divide our time between two hotels that really embody the diversity that the city has to offer. Made in Catherine and Made in Louise are sister boutique hotels, independently-run and, like sisters, are vastly different and unique in their own ways. Brussels is a city ofContinue reading “Made in Louise & Made in Catherine, Brussels”
Lakaz Chamarel, Mauritius
Just a few days away from leaving Mauritius, we thought we’d seen everything that the paradise island had to offer. We’d spent days on powder beaches, snorkelled off the coast of Île aux Cerfs, and tried every variation of the local rum. However, our arrival at Lakaz Chamarel in the final days of our tripContinue reading “Lakaz Chamarel, Mauritius”
Banchory Farm, Fife
Fife, Scotland features picturesque fishing villages and the historic town of St Andrews. Banchory Farm, a family-run operation, offers luxury accommodations including The Dairy, a cozy retreat with a jacuzzi. Surrounded by nature, guests can relax or explore while enjoying local amenities. A wellness garden is planned for future visits.
Ibagari, Roatán
By the time we arrive at Ibagari hotel on Roatán, it has already been mentioned to us numerous times. The hotel’s reputation precedes it, and it felt like everyone on the island – from taxi drivers to people we met on neighbouring islands – wanted to recommend it to us as the luxury choice. AndContinue reading “Ibagari, Roatán”
La Maison Haute, Brussels
While Belgium may not enjoy the same worldwide renown as its European neighbours, it’s a country with a rich tradition of bold architecture and cutting-edge design. From links to the beginnings of Surrealism to hidden Art Nouveau flourishes at every turn, the country’s designers display an innovative flair (for good and for bad – we’veContinue reading “La Maison Haute, Brussels”
