  • What could have been nicer than to start the new year with a vacation? It had to be a visit to a warm country however, and this is exactly what happened: we were heading to the sunny resort of Benidorm in Spain. A little paradise on the coast of Costa Blanca greeted us with lovely weather: a warm +17 C, pleasant sunshine, clear blue sky, friendly locals and an incredible number of places to spend a holiday, so plenty to do and see.

  • As you approach the hotel, the first thing you notice is the impressive arch, Ibn Battuta Gate, which, at 60 metres high, is larger than the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. The iconic entrance and themed décor are inspired by the travels of intrepid 14th century explorer, Ibn Battuta, who travelled the world from Africa and Europe to Arabia and the Far East. He first set off to do a “Haji” (pilgrimage to Mecca) when he was just 21 years old and ended up travelling for the next 24 years.

  • The end of the road. This is how easy it is to find The Cape Panwa Hotel. It's located on the furthest, most southeast point of the island in one of the most tranquil areas in Phuket. Nestled among the coconut groves and tropical gardens the hotel offers complete relaxation for its guests. It has two unique things: a 300m long private beach (that is very rare for hotels in Thailand); and it’s the only hotel I’ve ever known which has its own … tram!

  • An on-site cinema with a Dolby 3D screen and red-leather seating and casino, an inviting Cigar Club, a mouth-watering restaurant, and large beds in newly refurbished rooms make this hotel stand out among hundreds of luxury hotels in London. Just a few steps from Green Park and Berkeley Square, this contemporary hotel with a glamorous past boasts a great location combined with first class service.

  • Luxurious, remote, romantic - all these words describe the Anantara Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort perfectly. A wonderful oasis set in the mystical landscape of the legendary Liwa Desert. Its cool and calm atmosphere, brimming with Middle Eastern opulence is so inviting it just begs one to relax and do nothing but lounge by the poolside, pamper in the Anantara SPA or enjoy a romantic dinner under starry skies in a Bedouin tent in the desert.

  • Anywhere our Trip Temptation team go for a holiday, we try to find and experience the best afternoon tea ceremony in the area - especially when we travel to England, the country which is synonymous with afternoon tea. This time we were in the Lake District and we chose a peaceful and tranquil place by the river and mountains – the luxurious Eltermere Inn.

I fell in love with traveling much earlier than I fell in love with my first man. And I'm still faithful to that love (But I have exchanged some men since my first one). I have never had a reason to regret my passion. I constantly dream of going further, it gives me indescribable emotions and meaning to my life.
