Welcome...
Now that winter seems to be finally giving way it is an
excellent time to review plans for short breaks and
longer holidays over the coming months. After the
recent deluges and glum economic conditions we are
sure that many of our readers will be pining for
sunnier skies and we hope that our magazine will give
you some inspiration on a broad range of holiday
types.
Discover exciting new destinations and cultures
with two fascinating “Off the beaten Track” features
on Safari in East Africa and the mountain kingdom
of Bhutan. Marvel at the spectacle of the Great
Migration across the mighty plains of the Serengeti
Mara Ecosystem. Step out of the modern world into
a land locked in colourful tradition and rugged
mountain vistas often referred to as “The Last
Shangri-La”.
Keeping all the family entertained this summer
should be a breeze if you are lucky enough to book
into the Elounda resorts in Crete. Indulgent
romantics and sophisticated sun worshippers
should check out the newly refurbished Banyan Tree
Seychelles or, if you prefer the Caribbean to the
Indian Ocean, we review the British Virgin Islands.
Whether you are looking for a “trip of a lifetime”, a
gastronomic experience, a luxury city break or just
news on some of the world’s finest hotels and resorts
we are sure you will agree that there are many
options in this issue from which to plan a great
escape, so sit back, have a good read then give us a
call to discuss your perfect holiday.
With best wishes,
Polly Davies
