Assured Hotels
Situated at the peaceful southern end of Grenada’s best beach, this intimate all-suite, all-inclusive resort – part of the prestigious Small Luxury Hotels of the World portfolio – is centred on a spectacular architect-designed spa set in tropical gardens with an alfresco relaxation lounge, which uses locally grown herbs, organic chocolate and spices in its luscious treatments.
You’ll also find a yoga pavilion with glorious sea views, complimentary sports including snorkelling, kayaking and cycling, golf and a kids’ club, while exciting excursions include rainforest and market visits and PADI-certified diving. Around half of the elegant suites are right on Grand Anse beach, and some come with their own private pool.
This is a family-run boutique resort with a true community spirit –a fact seen not only in its support of the local female farmers, from whom it sources the majority of fruits and vegetables for its two restaurants, but also in the training of locals for its team and in its Green Globe Certification.
An Antarctic expedition cruise is designed to take you beyond simply seeing the continent from a ship. Small inflatable Zodiac boats are used to explore bays, reach remote landing sites and get closer to the ice, wildlife and landscapes of the Antarctic Peninsula.
Most journeys are designed to get you somewhere as quickly as possible. The Blue Train does the opposite. Over three days and two nights, it travels roughly 1,600 kilometres between Pretoria and Cape Town, turning the distance between the two cities into an experience in its own right.
Europe is packed with iconic destinations, but some of its most rewarding holidays begin just beyond the well-trodden tourist trail. If you've already ticked off the big-name cities or simply fancy somewhere that feels a little different, there are plenty of places offering beautiful scenery, fascinating history, and memorable food without the queues. From medieval towns on the Adriatic coast to volcanic islands in the Atlantic, these lesser-known corners of Europe prove that sometimes the best trips are the ones you weren't expecting.
