Holidays

Not just where you go. How it feels when you get there.

Beautiful hotels, interesting places, great food, easy travel and enough thought behind the details that the whole trip simply works.

Vila Vita Parc

Beautiful hotels

Hotels I’d be excited to stay in myself — chosen because they suit you, not because they happen to be on a list.

A charming Portuguese street

Places with personality

Sometimes the best part of a trip is wandering around a little street you weren’t expecting to love.

Burj Khalifa at night

Big city moments

Dubai, Paris and beyond — city breaks can be as indulgent or as energetic as you want them to be.

Luxury cabanas in Dubai

Proper relaxation

The right pool, the right beach, the right room and somewhere you can actually switch off.

Wine cellar in Portugal

Food & wine

Restaurants, tastings and those delicious little discoveries that become part of the holiday story.

Eiffel Tower and Paris Metro sign

Short breaks

Sometimes you don’t need two weeks — just a brilliant few days somewhere that feels completely different.

Tell me how you like to travel

I’ll work backwards from there.

Are you someone who wants breakfast on the terrace and no plan until dinner? Do you want every day to have something in it? Does the hotel matter more than the destination? Are you travelling with children, celebrating something or simply in desperate need of a proper break?

Those answers are far more useful to me than a generic destination shortlist.
