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.
The Capaldi Hotel, Atlas Mountains
There are many things Morocco has in abundance: excellent food, hours of sunshine, and – growing exponentially over the last five years – luxury accommodation options. The country is riding the wave of an ever-growing tourist boom, but rather than buckle under the pressure of additional demand, the sector has embraced unparalleled levels of serviceContinue reading “The Capaldi Hotel, Atlas Mountains”
Gal Oya Lodge, Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka’s unique combination of natural diversity and climate has made for an island teeming with different species and wildlife, drawing visitors from all over the world to the relatively small island.
