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 glumeconomic conditions we are sure that many of our
readers will be pining for sunnier skies andwe 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
fromwhich to plan a great escape, so sit back, have a good
read then give us a call to discuss your perfect holiday...
