The Seychelles is more than sand and sun. On Mahé, have a try at the Creole lingo whilst cruising through Victoria Market as you browse and barter for scrumptious tropical fruits and souvenirs. You can browse for hours while trying to decide just what tropical fruits and souvenirs suit you best, but believe us, there’s a lot of choice. Mahé Island looks as if it came directly from the heavens themselves. If you believe in that of thing anyway, but one look at the island will have you second guessing if you don’t.

Another absolute wonder that the Seychelles has to offer is the Morne Seychellois National Park in Archipelago. The national park houses not one, but two mountains! You’re truly spoilt for choice, as you can pick either Morne Seychellois or Morne Blanc to explore while in the park. There are plenty of hiking trails to explore, but the the 45 minute Copolia trail is the most favoured of all by tourists and visitors alike.

After exploring these beautiful mountains, and all the wonderful marvels of Mother Nature’s back garden, what better way to finish a perfect day than with a luxurious meal.

Mahé is better suited to adults that value their privacy and enjoy eating lobster whilst playing a game of chess on the hand painted tables at Moutya seafood grill.

The Thrills of Thailand

Thailand is full of many experiences, with so much to see and so much more to do. They don’t call it the Land of Smiles for nothing, after all. You may find the sights and wide range of activities a little overwhelming, or at the very least, you may struggle to find the right place to start. Fear not! We have assembled but a handful of wonderous things to do in Thailand to inspire your trip.

Bangkok is a wonderous city that offers its tourists so much variation that you’ll never truly be bored, but the first vital step is finding the perfect place to stay while you’re there.

The Mandarin Oriental Hotel sits in the very heart of Thailand’s capital, Bangkok. This hotel offers a truly luxurious stay directly on the Chao Phraya River.

During your stay here you will be greeted with glorious décor similar to the roaring 20s when in open indoor areas for such purposed as dining and general lunge areas. Elsewhere, you will be met by décor perfect for relaxing by the pool or even comforting areas perfect for a well-needed spa day. If you’re looking for luxury, this is the place to go.

The apartments you will find yourself staying in are the most luxurious you will find. Structured so that you have everything you may need or even want, this is a true home away from home. You need not even leave the hotel resort if you are that way inclined. With such a beautiful luxury apartment suite to stay in, all inclusive dining, and even a spa; you’ve got everything you could possibly desire for a relaxing break. But those beautiful sights out there won’t see themselves…

Outside of this beautiful hotel there is a whole world’s worth of stunning sights to see. While there is a great amount of activities and memories to be made within the capital itself, we recommend venturing outside of the capital to witness some history.

Visit the Grand Temple of Thailand to see an absolute triumph in architectural design, as well as witnessing history stand right before your eyes.

Built in the year 1782, and for 150 years, was the home of the Thai King, the Royal court, and the administrative seat of government. This is undoubtedly the grand landmark of Thailand, offering a true triumph of historical architecture that blends many styles and colours together to make an absolute masterpiece. To go to Thailand and not visit the Grand Temple would be a true missed opportunity.

Another beautiful landmark of history that you simply do not want to miss out on while in Thailand is the Wat Pho Temple.

Completed around the year 1656, this temple has been the home of medicinal teachings since the mid-19th century. Since then, it has remained the home of all traditional medical teachings to this very day, where a private school for Thai medicine founded in 1957 still operates.

Again, the Wat Pho Temple’s very design is wonderous enough without its historical ties to medicine. The design is one of true beauty with differing patterns galore, all coming together to create an amalgam of mismatches that blend together in a way that only the human can appreciate fully.

Of course you can always appreciate the historical landmark right on your doorstep if you wish to simply stay in luxury. The Chao Phraya River has a life and beauty of its own that cannot be missed when there.

Thailand is full of beauty and history to soak up and witness first hand, and we hope to have inspired your travelling bucket list. If you wish to receive some help with planning a holiday to Thailand in more detail, please do not hesitate to contact us direct. We will take care of everything after discovering your personal tastes and likes. Sit back and relax as we design a luxury holiday of a lifetime with you in mind. We are here to help 24/7.

On the cliffs of the Italian countryside stands a castle where you can stay and fulfil the prophecy of having the getaway of a lifetime. Rent a fortress that overlooks the sea where you will make luxurious memories that last forever.

Forte San Giorgio is a truly luxurious villa to house your holiday. With a view to die for and a history so fascinating you will feel as if you’re part of history itself, or even possibly live out a fantasy world dream, harkening to the likes of Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings in a castle fortress villa that has a history that one would not be mistaken for thinking it to be that of fiction.

Luxury Getaway Guide : Bali

Bali is one of the most visited destinations in Indonesia with travellers from all over the world head to this magnificent Asian destination every year. But what does this island have that attracts the masses so much? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!

Bali is notoriously the perfect place for everything, and that's the key! Whether you are a backpacker in search of special corners and with adventure, a tourist looking for the charm of the island or a person looking to investigate their spirituality and connection with mother earth, or you simply want to sit back and relax. All you need to know is that Bali can show you all of that and more!

Resorts to be in contact with nature and the roots

When visiting Bali, one simply must take one of those dreamy rooms with views to die for of a beautiful green landscape. We recommend Capella Ubud Bali. It is the luxury of Mother Nature and has tented rooms with incredible views as well as more than perfect utilities. They also have restaurants and services to make your stay a dream come true.

Connect with your inner self at the Wellness Retreats

Bali, in addition to being known for its landscapes and culture, is well known for its spirituality. In fact, it is called "The island of Gods" for a reason, and that is due to the energy that these lands have that is considered to be sacred. For that reason there are many people who travel to Bali to do retreats, yoga, meditation, relax in a natural spa. Doesn't sound bad at all, does it?

 The palate

There is truly something for everyone, and you can try as many different foods and combinations thereof to your heart’s content! Whether you desire the finest meats or have made a vow of veganism, there is something for everyone to tuck in to. Rest assured that after whatever activities you get up to, you will be eating good every evening with palates that will melt on your tongue and make you think you’re eating feasts from the heavens!

After a yoga session or a good massage, what does your body ask of you? Because we can't think of a better plan than a tasty meal in a good restaurant. Balinese cuisine is a mixture of flavours from different countries, China, India, the Middle East Can you imagine having all these flavours in one? Well, that's how Indonesian cuisine was born. The main bases are rice and fried noodles and these are accompanied with meat, vegetables and local spices. In addition, one of the strongest points of its gastronomy is fruit, Bali has a wide variety of exotic fruits that are not found in Europe, such as dragon fruit.

We recommend the following luxury restaurants to enjoy a good delicacy:

- Locavore Bali

- Sarong

- Kubu at Mandapa

- W Seminyak

- The Mulia Bali

- The Samaya Ubud

The Cruise-trip

Another of the experiences that you have to live if you are in Bali is to do a Cruise Trip. Bali is beautiful but you have other nearby islands that are certainly an experience to live if you are there. Bali Hai Cruises gives you the option to rent this service and be able to visit islands such as Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, Gili Islands among others and carry out relaxation activities or adventures to enjoy the thousand faces that Bali has.

Shop Art

For a trip to be truly complete, you need a bit of everything good, food, views, activities, relaxation and Shopping. In this case we recommend that you buy the local, and that there is more local than art? Bali has local artists who make figures from different materials carved by hand, the pieces mostly represent the spiritual figures of the Indonesian culture such as Buddha. Undoubtedly a great specimen to decorate your living room.

This has been our luxury tour guide to Bali, but if you still need more help or information please do not hesitate to request our VIP Concierge service. We will take care of planning your dream trip without lifting a finger! We are here to make your life easier. Let us help you design the holiday of your dreams. We are here to help 24/7!

Want to step into a renaissance painting? Then Tuscany is the place for you! With its lyrical landscapes, incomparable art and architecture, sensational gourmet cuisine, the Tuscan experience is truly your holiday dream.

• Forte San Giorgio, Tuscany is the rare Italian monument in which you can bask away overnight. This ethereal location is surrounded by pools, tennis courts, illustrious courtyards and a cavernous TV and games den. This secluded stay is bound to keep you in a relaxed state of mind. 

• Perhaps you want to live like a local and book an apartment in Livorno. Here you can dine at family run restaurants, wander through the streets massed with boutique stores and antique shops, along with a day trip to see the iconic leaning tower of Pisa. 

If the history of Tuscany is what interests you the most, then lose yourself at the Gallerie Degli Uffizi or the Siena Cathedral. There are truly a vast amount of museums, churches and galleries that are ready to be admired.

4. Jamaica

White sand, endless sunshine, rum galore! What’s not to love? To add to that dramatic scenery, jungle-clad mountains and locals are as laid back as you would hope and expect. Jamaica has always been a long attracted holiday destination with a fascinating culture and ravishingly stunning coasts. 

• Take the 90 minute drive from Ocho Rios into the interior to Nine Miles to visit the birth and burial place of Bob Marley or see the waterfalls at Dunn’s River Falls at Ocho Rios. Visitors can climb up the rock pools and watch the water fall right into the sea. 

• Most visitors favour the resorts of Negril, Montego Bay and Ocho Rios. The best known resort in Montego Bay is Round Hill, an elegant beachside hotel with rooms styled by Ralph Lauren. Whilst, Rockhouse in Negril is perched on the cliffs with lush gardens and pool built into the rocks. 

• If you are looking for some of the most authentic Jamaican cuisine, then it is always found amongst the locals. For an authentic plate of curried goat and roti, search for Moby Dick in Kingston.

There is nothing like relaxing in the Jamaican heat surrounded by great Reggae music, some rum punch and sandy beaches. 

5. Thailand

Thailand is known to be the ‘Land of Smiles’. Best for their diverse landscapes, ravishing waters and friendly locals. This summer destination will surely put a huge grin on the face of any holidaymaker. 

• For the explorers out there, go shopping at floating markets, discover the remote jungles, dive among whale sharks and manta rays and visit the most peaceful temples.

• Take a trip for a few days in Bangkok, the Thai capital, manoeuvring between the Grand palace, Wat Pho temple and the Chao Phraya River.

6. Dubai

It’s impossible to talk about luxurious holidays without mentioning Dubai. Dare I say it is a crime, ha! The hotels are second to none, with lavish suites, award-winning spas and fine dining restaurants. Not to mention Dubai’s gravity defying skyscrapers, The Burj Khalifa. 

• Your moments aways from statement shopping malls and record breaking buildings. You won't struggle finding any designer store to your preference, you're truly spoilt for choice. 

• Dubai is truly child-friendly to the nth degree, crammed with fantasy themed parks, Disney styled water playgrounds. Add dune bashing and desert safari day trips. Let’s not forget the beaches with soft white sand and turquoise waters. I repeat “you're truly spoilt for choice”. 

• The Palm Jumeirah is one of the more notorious hotels in Dubai. The Palm, is the epitome of Dubai hyperbole, built on a manmade island with a huge waterpark and aquarium. If grand and luxury is what you are looking for, then I would definitely advise this hotel. 

No visit is complete without visiting the Burj Al Arab. If you're desiring to see its sci-fi atrium, brag-worthy restaurants and Skyview Bar, then this place is for you.

7. Seychelles

Seychelles works hard to preserve its habitats, with entire islands dedicated to nature reserves. The country favours luxury lodges that don't dominate but melt into the landscapes. Once you've been pampered in the world class spas and have eaten at the finest restaurants, you can spend days hiking through the forests seeking out the wildlife. 

• The Seychelles is more than sand and sun. On Mahé, have a try at the Creole lingo whilst cruising through Victoria Market as you browse and barter for scrumptious tropical fruits and souvenirs. 

• Climb the highest mountain in the archipelago, Morne Seychellois or Morne Blanc. Both mountains are inside Morne Seychellois National Park, which is filled with hiking trails- the 45 minute Copolia trail is the most favoured. 

• Mango House Seychelles, Mahé is better suited to adults that value their privacy and enjoy eating lobster whilst playing a game of chess on the hand painted tables at Moutya seafood grill. Mango House gives you the feeling of being a celebrity. Featuring an infinity pool, Vogue worthy decor and an illustrious spa. 

We all have a desired destination that we would want to travel to this summer, but with these seven destinations, you are guaranteed to enjoy the fruits of your labour.
