~ Conrad Chia Laguna Sardinia: relaxed luxury on one of Sardinia’s most beautiful coastlines ~

If you are dreaming of a sunshine escape with a real 'wow' factor but still want it to feel warm and welcoming, Conrad Chia Laguna Sardinia is a fantastic choice. This five-star retreat sits on a stunning stretch of southern Sardinian coastline and is ideal for guests who love style, comfort and those thoughtful little touches.

Rooms and suites are contemporary and calming, with soft natural tones, lovely views and outdoor spaces where you can enjoy your morning coffee or an evening drink in peace. Service is genuinely friendly and personal, so you can fully relax knowing everything is taken care of.

~ Time to unwind
The Conrad Spa is perfect if you are ready to switch off. Expect soothing Sardinian-inspired treatments, tranquil relaxation areas and plenty of space to slow down and breathe. You can spend your days drifting between the spa, the pool and the sea, without a care in the world.

~ Beach days & boat adventures
Here you have easy access to some of Sardinia’s most beautiful beaches, with clear turquoise water and soft sand that is perfect for lazy days. If you would like to see more of the coastline, I can arrange boat trips to hidden bays and coves for swimming, snorkelling or simply enjoying the views from the water.

~ Experiences with a real sense of place
What makes Conrad Chia Laguna special is how it connects you to Sardinia itself. There are carefully chosen experiences that help you discover the island’s character, from exploring local villages and traditions to spending time out in the wild, unspoilt landscape. It is all about feeling that you have truly “been” to Sardinia, not just stayed in a lovely hotel.

~ Food you will remember
Dining is a real highlight, with restaurants celebrating Sardinian and Mediterranean flavours using fresh local ingredients from land and sea. Think long, relaxed lunches and unhurried dinners with good wine, beautiful views and a lovely holiday atmosphere.

If you are looking for somewhere luxurious yet friendly, polished yet relaxed, Conrad Chia Laguna Sardinia is a wonderful option.

If this sounds like your kind of escape, get in touch with me and I will help you plan a stay that is perfectly tailored to you.

Next week my lovely clients are jetting off to Turkiye for an unforgettable adventure, blending culture, scenery and pure relaxation.

First stop: vibrant Istanbul, where East meets West. They will be staying in a charming boutique hotel tucked away in the historic heart of the city: think stylish, intimate surroundings, warm Turkish hospitality and easy access to iconic sights like the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and the Grand Bazaar. Perfect for losing themselves in cobbled streets, coffee houses and rooftop sunsets over the Bosphorus.

From there, they fly to magical Cappadocia for 3 nights at the beautiful Pyramid Stone House. Built in traditional stone and carved into the landscape, it offers that authentic cave-style feel with modern comforts, sunrise views over the fairy chimneys and the chance to watch (or join) the hot air balloons drifting across the sky at dawn.

To finish, they’ll unwind with 5 nights at the incredible Barut Goia on Turkiye’s Mediterranean coast. This stylish beachfront resort is all about laid-back premium all-inclusive luxury: spacious, contemporary rooms, excellent dining, lush pools and direct access to golden sands and turquoise waters. The perfect place to slow down, be pampered and soak up those last days of sunshine.

If you would love a tailor-made Turkiye itinerary designed just for you, from boutique city stays to cave hotels and beachside luxury, contact me and let us start planning your own escape.

From sparkling lakes to soaring peaks: earlier this month I thoroughly enjoyed putting together an unforgettable Canada adventure for some of my lovely regular clients.

They’ll start with a week in and around Toronto, flying direct from the UK to spend precious family time by the lakes: lazy days on the water, golden sunsets and cosy evenings together before the mountain magic begins.

Next stop: the Rockies. They’ll fly west to Calgary, then head into the mountains for 5 nights in Banff at the charming Otter Hotel in a mountain view room. From Banff they can ride the gondola for sweeping valley views, soak in the hot springs, wander by beautiful lakes or join gentle hikes and wildlife-spotting in the national park.

Then comes the bucket-list moment: boarding the iconic Rocky Mountaineer from Banff to Vancouver, with an overnight stop in Kamloops. This daylight rail journey is all about slowing down and soaking it in, with glass-domed carriages, delicious meals at your seat and ever-changing scenery from towering peaks to river canyons.

They’ll end with a couple of nights in Vancouver at the Sheraton Wall Centre, on one of the highest floors for some of the very best views over the city and harbour. From here they can head out on wildlife trips by zodiac boat, take a scenic seaplane flight, go whale watching, or escape to nearby Salt Spring Island for artisan markets and laid-back island charm.

If you’d love a tailor-made Canada adventure like this, with every flight, rail journey and hotel carefully chosen for you, contact me to start planning your own Rockies-and-coast escape.

Dreaming of Norway next summer?

I've recently booked something really special for my clients: a 16‑day tailor‑made journey through Norway that blends Arctic adventure, iconic coastal cruising and some of the country’s most beautiful self‑drive routes.

They’ll start with a luxury dinner cruise and fjord‑view living in Oslo, fly north to Kirkenes for a husky mountain hike in the Arctic wilderness, then sail south on a Havila coastal voyage via North Cape, Tromsø and the wild Lofoten Islands. After time in colourful Bergen, they’ll slow the pace right down with a hand‑picked road trip through fjord country and the mountains: Balestrand, Flåm, Geilo and some of Norway’s most spectacular, but carefully measured, scenic drives.

Trip highlights include:
⚓Balcony suite on board Havila with floor‑to‑ceiling views and breakfast on the North Cape Plateau
😍Stays in some of Norway’s most special hotels, with wow‑factor rooms and stunning fjord or mountain vistas
🐾Husky mountain hike in Kirkenes and a glacier experience in Fjærland
🍷Luxury dinner cruise in Oslo plus confirmed reservations at one of Bergen’s top restaurants
🚂Guided kayak trip in Bergen, the iconic Flåm Railway, and options for scenic hikes
🌄A relaxed self‑drive through fjord and mountain landscapes, without long driving days

If you’d love a Norwegian adventure designed entirely around how you like to travel, I’d be delighted to create something just for you.

Lose yourself in the raw, cinematic beauty of Greenland on an unforgettable Arctic adventure.

Begin in Nuuk, Greenland’s colourful capital, where you will explore the Old Colonial Harbour, sample Greenlandic tapas and cruise through one of the world’s largest fjord systems to a remote restaurant where the chef cooks the fish you have just caught.

From here, head to wild and wonderful Disko Island. Stay in a charming coastal town framed by basalt mountains, hike to waterfalls and viewpoints, and watch for whales right from the shore as you wander past brightly painted houses and flower-filled valleys.

Next, it is on to Ilulissat, the legendary “town of icebergs”. Walk through the UNESCO-listed Icefjord at Sermermiut, glide between towering icebergs on an evening boat trip and head out on a thrilling whale safari in Disko Bay. For the ultimate perspective, you can even add a helicopter flight over the glacier or a kayaking experience among the ice.

The highlight for many is two nights at Glacier Lodge Eqi. Your cosy cabin faces one of Greenland’s most dramatic calving glaciers, so you can sit on your terrace and listen to the thunder of ice crashing into the fjord. Spend your days hiking to the glacier front, searching for Arctic wildlife or, for the more adventurous, trekking towards the edge of the Greenland Ice Sheet.

If you are dreaming of pristine wilderness, midnight sun and a genuine taste of Arctic life, this journey delivers it all.

Message me to start planning your Greenland adventure.

Over the next few weeks, my little corner of the internet is going to be bursting with adventure.

I have just returned from an incredible Latin & South America multi-day conference in the Cotswolds, packed with insider updates, new discoveries and fresh inspiration. Think: vibrant cities, rainforest retreats, epic rail journeys, wine country hideaways and bucket-list experiences from Mexico all the way down to Patagonia.

And that is not all. In less than 4 weeks I am heading north to the Arctic myself, travelling up to Svalbard to experience its glaciers, wildlife and midnight sun first-hand. I will be sharing behind-the-scenes moments from my own trip, plus ideas for exploring Greenland, Svalbard and the wider Arctic in comfort and style.

If you are dreaming of tango in Buenos Aires, trekking in Peru, a Brazilian beach escape or an Arctic adventure among icebergs and polar landscapes, stay tuned. Your next big journey might just start with one of these posts.

If something you see sparks an idea, message me and let us start planning your own tailor-made escape.

Atlantic Canada: Nova Scotia & the Maritimes

On Canada’s Atlantic edge, you will find lighthouses, lobster and some of the most laid‑back coastal drives you can imagine. This is a region made for slower travel, salty air and friendly encounters.

Picture yourself road‑tripping through storybook fishing villages, tide‑sculpted bays and headlands dotted with classic red‑and‑white lighthouses. Around Halifax and Lunenburg, colourful waterfronts, maritime history and superb seafood set the tone, from lobster rolls and chowder to fresh scallops straight off the boat.

Then there is the legendary Cabot Trail on Cape Breton Island, often named among the world’s great coastal drives: dramatic ocean views, clifftop walks, whale‑watching excursions and toe‑tapping Celtic music in cosy local venues.

The Maritimes are at their best in summer and early autumn, when cool sea breezes, long evenings and golden light make every harbour walk, beach stroll and seafood dinner feel extra special.

If Atlantic Canada is calling, message me and I will help you create a relaxed Nova Scotia and Maritimes journey tailored to your pace and interests.

Toronto, Niagara Falls, wine country & the Ontario Lakes

Looking for a Canada trip with big-city buzz, iconic waterfalls and scenic lakes, without long drives or complex logistics? This corner of Ontario is a brilliant option.

Start in Toronto for that classic city hit:
• Ride up the CN Tower for panoramic views over the skyline and Lake Ontario.
• Stroll the waterfront, explore distinct neighbourhoods and enjoy superb dining and museums.

From here it is an easy hop to Niagara Falls:
• Take a boat tour to feel the spray at the base of the falls, or admire the spectacle from skywalks and viewpoints.
• Stay overnight for illuminated falls views and a more relaxed pace.

Nearby, Niagara‑on‑the‑Lake and wine country add charm and flavour:
• Wander pretty streets, catch a show at the theatre and enjoy vineyard tours and tastings.
• Sample local wines, including Canada’s famous icewine, paired with farm‑to‑table lunches.

You can also build in time around Ontario’s lakes for a more nature‑focused escape:
• Enjoy gentle hikes, lakeside picnics, canoeing or kayaking on calm waters.
• Stay in cosy lodges or lakeside resorts, perfect for swimming, paddling or simply watching the sunset from the dock.

It is a fantastic combination of sightseeing, comfort, culture and good food, with the option to add tranquil lake days to balance your city and falls experience.

If Ontario sounds like your kind of Canada, message me and I will help you design a tailored Toronto, Niagara and lakeside escape.

Onto Day Three already - today we drove from Auckland to Rotorua with a visit and lunch at Hobbiton on the way. In Rotorua the Te Puia Reserve was our final stop for the day - a highly recommended and authentic Maori experience.
