A Lot Like Love

I’ve often envisioned what heaven would be like. Now I can picture it... Heaven exists, it is a place, called Desroches Island Seychelles.

I haven’t been everywhere, but in comparison to Mauritius, Mahe, Bahamas and Hawaii, Desroches island drop kicks other islands to the curb. It’s another level of perfection. Paradise served in style, with understated elegance and grace. Everything is so beautiful that you walk around with a permanent smile on your face.

It’s said that the island brings out your deepest, truest feelings so, if you are happy, you become ecstatic, if you carry sadness, you become depressed and if you are simply “being”, you become more you than you’ve ever been. You actualize and evolve parts of you’re subconscious  that have been dormant and still. It’s as close to a spiritual experience that I’ve ever had and now that I know that this place exists to return to…  I can cope with the everyday problems, better.

  • As a big fan of and frequent visitor to the Maldives, I’m often asked which accommodation is best when travelling to these sunny islands. On Angsana Velavaru, the choice is obvious – it has to be a water villa. Angsana’s second Maldivian property, which has a strong Asian feel, is most notable for its ‘InOcean’ water villas. Their uniqueness lies in their remoteness from the shore and absolute privacy – the stand-alone structures are situated a kilometre from the main island and are reachable only by boat across the lagoon.

  • For many travelers Thailand seems to have become a second home. Tropical beaches with turquoise water, glorious cuisine, luxury SPAs and affordability -Thailand draws you like a magnet and doesn't want to let you go away from its solar hugs. TripTemptation spent a month in this tropical paradise, enjoying the best that the tourist island of Phuket has to offer.

  • Built in colonial style in Weligama, on the southern tip of Sri Lanka, Eraeliya Villas and Gardens are all about great design and absolute privacy. Four beautiful villas, surrounded by secluded tropical gardens with iguanas and monkeys, and located just a few steps from the Indian Ocean create the illusion that you are lost in time. Fitted with antique furniture and accessories, and an old grand piano in the lobby, you feel the past of this beautiful country. This is an ideal place for creative people looking for inspiration and for everyone looking for peace and relaxation.

  • There are so many amazing hotels in the Maldives. Some of them can claim their own reef, some have fun children's clubs, and some are ideal for couples looking for the perfect romantic escape. We’ve chosen 5 we think are among the best.

  • Hawaii sounds like a paradise. Everyone has heard of them but not many people have been there. Especially from Europe. But I was lucky enough to have an opportunity to visit this magical place and have to admit - it far exceeded my expectations.
