“Paris is always a good idea”! If Audrey Hepburn said that, we must believe it. I`ve been in the French capital several times in my life and, yes!, it`s always worthy a visit. The last time was very special. I was with my 1-year-old daughter and family and the experience was simply fantastic! We arrived at Shangri-La Paris and had a very warm welcome from the staff. The palace itself has a magical aura. Former home of Prince Roland Bonaparte,…

As you drive along the curving road through the Tuscan…
Sometimes in life you need a little time out. That time out doesn’t always have to involve travelling miles to experience. Rudding Park Hotel & Spa is about 6 miles from our house, but may as well be a million miles away. Set on the outskirts of Harrogate in Yorkshire its the perfect location for a little ‘me time’. Its worth mentioning at this point that there was a little confusion (which is one way to describe it) over…
Arrival After a long days travel with a 7 year old, you could forgive us for being a little jaded on arrival. The H10 Atlantic Sunset staff couldn’t have made it easier for us. Check in was quick, followed by being personally escorted and shown around our room. We were asked if we wanted and food from the restaurant but we were just happy to grab a drink in the bar. Upon our return to the room, we were really…
In the French Polynesia, it doesn’t get more idyllic than this sprawling Bora Bora cloister of the St Regis Hotel. Twosomes with a taste for the finer things will be hard-pressed to find a more romance-inspiring getaway. We chose this destination for our Honeymoon and it really was an incredible trip and very much just like you see on the postcard! (The blue waters are that blue!) We arrived at Bora Bora airport via Tahiti, and was greeted with flower garlands…

Is Sri Lanka really worth visiting, what it’s like and which are the best places to visit. We spent 3 and a half weeks there searching around the island. Relatively small island of Sri Lanka in southern tip of India is really diverse for its size. I think one could describe it as mini India without all the filth and hussle. It’s easy to switch between pretty southern beaches and lush beautiful hillsides just in few hours with a bus…
