If heaven was a place on earth, I strongly suspect it would look an awful lot like the Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort. Surrounded by the spectacular beauty of Baa Atoll, a UNESCO-heritage listed region simply teeming with marine life, the resort itself is a magnificent oasis. No detail has been overlooked, and it offers exceptional dining and facilities paired with warm and attentive service. Perhaps heaven is a place on earth, after all.

Although glittering Dubai and Abu Dhabi may get most of the attention, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) actually offers seven other fascinating emirates. I recently had the chance to visit Sharjah, an absolute gem and perhaps the cultural heartland of the UAE. I spent an incredible four days getting to know the city, from the intriguing museums to bustling souq, and came away with a deep appreciation for this hidden jewel.

Beautiful Salamanca is a well-known stop on many travellers’ itineraries of Spain. However, there are many hidden gems in the city. Amongst the cobbled streets and intricately decorated buildings are many stunning attractions that aren’t featured in the pages of many guidebooks.

It’s no secret that I was utterly enchanted by beautiful Salamanca when I visited. It seemed every street I walked down and every corner I turned revealed more incredible views and sights. It’s no wonder that I could barely put my camera down — everywhere I looked, there was an amazing feature I just wanted to share.

When I was recently given the opportunity to visit a Spanish city of my choice thanks to the Spain Tourism board, it was not an easy decision. Spain is filled with delightful cities that weave traditional charm with modern vitality; but in the end, it was stunning Salamanca that most appealed to me. Browsing through photographs of its elegant and unique architecture, and reading about its rich culture, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to experience its beauty for myself.

A stay in the stunning Princesa Yaiza resort, which overlooks the lapping ocean on the Canary Island of Lanzarote was always going to be relaxing; however, with the addition of an innovative mineral therapy spa treatment, I certainly left the island feeling utterly recharged and rejuvenated.

Amongst all of the places I visited, one of my favourite places to visit in U.K is Scotland. I love its culture and history, and it’s landscape especially. Recently I got an opportunity to spend a luxurious weekend in Scotland with two other influencers Suze and Bonnie.
