Welcome to the latest issue of our regular travel magazine
where we hope to entice you with a varied selection of
worldwide holiday ideas and destinations. So, why not
treat yourself, partner, family or a group of friends to a
well-earned break.
As summer approaches the key question for those still
deciding will be - should I go to Europe or should I set my
sights a bit further afield? This year the Caribbean is
booming and many resorts across the West Indies are
remaining open well into the traditional European
summer period of August in response to increasing
demand. This is reflected in this issue with features on
both Petit St Vincent in the Grenadines and the British
Virgin Islands.
North America is always a popular option at this time of
the year and the lure of the “great outdoors” is stronger
than ever as the US National Parks Service celebrates its
centennial year.
Looking eastwards, we review two amazing collections of
resorts, Four Seasons in Thailand and Ritz-Carlton in Bali,
both offering a superb combination of Far Eastern culture,
adventure and beach time.
Finally, with eyes drawn across to the continent, let us take
you through the most popular cities and regions of Italy in
search of some little gems, or perhaps you would like to
watch the sun setting in style at the newly refurbished
Grace Santorini. For the ultimate indulgence, we present
some European properties from Aman, a Venetian palace,
a walled citadel in Montenegro and a dreamy retreat in the
Peloponnese region of mainland Greece.
Whether you are looking for a beach getaway, a city break,
an adventure or just news on some of the world’s finest
hotels and resorts we are sure this issue will inspire you, so
sit back, have a read, then give us a call to discuss your
travel plans.
