Perched atop the hillside within the dense jungle of the Anse Chastanet property in Saint Lucia, Jade Mountain is nothing short of astonishing. Surrounded by jaw-dropping natural beauty and featuring architecture that takes every opportunity to highlight the mesmerising views and blend with its stunning surroundings, it is truly enchanting.

Radisson Aquatica Resort in Barbados was a bit of a shift in style for me, being slightly different from the ultra-luxury boutique style accommodation I usually go for. However, there was a good reason to step beyond my usual style – the Radisson Acquatica’s enviable views out over the beautiful water and sands of Carlisle Bay and the UNESCO listed Victorian Pier.

The stunning views and the laid-back charm of the hotel definitely won my heart and made it a great place to stay during our Barbados holiday.

Since opening, Sandals Grande St Lucian Resort has made quite the splash, becoming a hot destination for the rich and famous to stay on an exclusive and romantic retreat. It’s no wonder, with glorious rooms, suites and overwater bungalows, each set up to give the ultimate romantic Carribean escape.

You certainly don’t need to be Prince Harry to feel like royalty during your stay here, with its luxurious elegance, delicious dining options and spectacular beach.

Nestled amongst lush, tropical gardens and with a view out over sleek yachts in the marina, Marigot Bay Resort and Marina offers something slightly different in Saint Lucia.

The resort and beautiful tropical surroundings with warm hospitality captivated my heart during a recent vacation to Saint Lucia.

After weeks of long work days and too-short weekends, I was ready to get away for a couple of days for a luxury spa break. My husband and I drove from London to Rudding Park in Harrogate. I received a generous offer from the hotel to stay one complimentary night in a spa room, with access to a full day’s spa facilities and couldn’t wait to indulge.

Crete has long been a beloved holiday destination, with its understated elegance, warm hospitality and focus on absolute relaxation. This is what is promised by Daios Cove with their new offering, The Beach House, an unpretentious open-air restaurant serving the incredible dishes by Head Chef Sotiris Arabidis and his team.

Nestled on an unspoilt hillside overlooking its very own secluded cove, Daios Cove offers breath-taking views of the Cretan Sea. It’s situated on the northeast coast of Crete and is an hour drive from the Heraklion airport.

I am a huge fan of Italian food. UK’s Italian food scene is quite wide ranging from traditional restaurants serving pizza and pasta to contemporary restaurants offering more experimental dishes. Radisson Collection Hotel, Royal Mile Edinburgh houses one of the best Italian Restaurant in Edinburgh called the Cucina- a vibrant restaurant with head chef Andrew McQueen at its helm. It offers dishes made from sustainable and local ingredients which includes honey from the hotel’s rooftop beehives.
