South Africa is trending right now, and it is easy to see why: epic scenery, incredible food and wine, and amazing value for a long-haul escape.

This week’s spotlight is the President Hotel in Cape Town, a stylish coastal base with sweeping Atlantic views and easy access to the city’s best bits. It is ideal if you love the idea of combining ocean air with iconic sights like Table Mountain, the V&A Waterfront and Camps Bay.

Why I love recommending the President Hotel:

Coastal setting that feels relaxed yet still close to the action
Great pool and outdoor areas for those sunny Cape Town days
Comfortable, contemporary rooms that work well for both couples and friends
A fantastic base for exploring the Winelands, Cape Peninsula and Robben Island
With a direct Cape Town to Zanzibar flight due to start in October 2026, it is even simpler to turn a stay at the President Hotel into a dreamy twin-centre escape: start with a few nights in Cape Town for culture, views and dining, then continue to Zanzibar for white-sand beaches and warm Indian Ocean waters.

If a Cape Town & Zanzibar combo sounds like your kind of adventure, I would love to create a tailor-made itinerary just for you.

Thinking about cruising but no idea which ship to try? Consider Azamara.

They have four stunning, smaller ships, which means they can visit more tucked‑away destinations that larger ships simply cannot reach. Azamara also stays later in port (and often overnight), so you have longer to soak up each place: dinners ashore, evening strolls and time to really feel the destination rather than rushing back on board.

On board, you can expect a relaxed, club‑style atmosphere with excellent food and drink, attentive service, a great choice of wines and cocktails, plus plenty of quieter corners for a nightcap after a day exploring. It feels indulgent without being fussy.

With availability still for summer 2026, now is a great time to start planning. Get in touch if you would like to chat through which Azamara itinerary could be right for you.

What a treat spending the day with the Cayman Islands Department of Tourism at Cloud 23. Amy and the team made us feel so welcome as we learned more about this beautiful trio of islands, heralded as the culinary capital of the Caribbean.

We heard directly from hoteliers about their resorts, experiences and dining, and I came away full of ideas for unforgettable Cayman escapes for my clients.

If turquoise waters, world‑class food and laid‑back luxury are your thing, I would love to help you start planning your own Cayman adventure.

Hotel of the Week: Bucuti & Tara Beach Resorts ✨✨, Aruba

Dreaming of a calm, adults‑only Caribbean escape?

Bucuti & Tara Beach Resorts on Aruba’s famous Eagle Beach is a boutique hideaway designed just for couples. Fly into Oranjestad and it is then a short 15‑minute transfer to paradise: powder‑soft white sand, warm turquoise water and sun loungers spaced so you never feel crowded.

This serene resort has a real focus on wellness, with beachfront yoga, a tranquil spa and a beautiful infinity pool, plus a strong eco‑conscious ethos as a certified carbon‑neutral hotel.

You can stay on bed & breakfast or half board, but with so many fantastic local restaurants just a stroll along the beach, I would recommend B&B so you can dine somewhere different each evening. The hotel is also home to Terra, a recipient of both a Michelin Star and a Michelin Green Star, so advance booking is definitely advisable.

If you would love an adults‑only, wellness‑focused Caribbean escape for a honeymoon, anniversary or just some much‑needed time together, message me and I will tailor a Bucuti & Tara stay in Aruba just for you.

Packing does not have to be stressful. A few smart habits can make getting ready for your holiday so much easier:

Start with a checklist
Write a simple list a few days before you go. It helps avoid over‑packing and those “I’m sure I forgot something” moments.

Think in outfits, not items
Build mix‑and‑match outfits on the bed. Neutral basics with a few favourites mean you pack less but still feel put together.

Use packing cubes or pouches
Group clothes into cubes (tops, bottoms, underwear, swimwear). It keeps your case organised, especially on multi‑centre trips.

Create a “first night” grab bag
Pop pyjamas, underwear, basic toiletries and one change of clothes into the top of your case or a small cube so you can be showered and in bed quickly.

Keep essentials in your hand luggage
Medication, valuables, chargers, a small toiletry kit and a spare top should always travel with you.

Decant liquids and label them
Travel‑size bottles save space and weight. Label them clearly to avoid any surprises after a long travel day.

Leave a little space (okay, I don’t do this one!)
Try not to pack right up to the limit, so there is room for souvenirs and easier repacking.

If you would like tailored advice for your next escape, from what to pack to where to go, I am here to help you plan every detail.

Catching up with my friend Vanessa in Kent at the weekend, we both agreed that Kuala Lumpur was a standout from our travels. When we were there the Petronas Towers were still being built, and I have since learned just how extraordinary they are.

Completed between 1993 and 1998, both towers are 88 storeys high and soar to around 1,483 feet. They held the title of the world’s tallest buildings from 1996 to 2004 and are still the tallest twin towers in the world today.

To achieve such a rapid build, two international teams were tasked with constructing one tower each. The South Korean‑led team finished their tower a week ahead of the Japanese‑led team and earned the honour of building the famous skybridge that links the two.

Kuala Lumpur is full of stories like this: a city where bold architecture, rich culture and amazing food all come together. If you would love to experience it for yourself, I can help you build a trip that is every bit as memorable.
