Aguas de Ibiza: A Luxury Family Escape to the White Isle

28th September 2026

If you’ve never had Ibiza on your radar as a family holiday destination, it might be time to reconsider. I had always associated the island with late nights, beach clubs and hedonistic summers, but a rather impromptu trip, booked just five days before we travelled, completely changed my perception. Ibiza, it turns out, is every bit as wonderful with two children in tow.

Checking In: The Franklin, Knightsbridge

4th September 2026

Autumn is the perfect season to book a stay in the Big Smoke. The temperatures are cooler, the summer holiday crowds have disappeared, and the leaves in Hyde Park start to turn a delicious golden hue. Tucked away in Egerton Gardens, The Franklin makes a rather compelling base for it all.

Rye is Britain's Answer to the Hamptons – and London's...

5th August 2026

No, not Margate or Whitstable, but Rye. The East Sussex town, reached in just over an hour from St Pancras via Ashford, is quietly becoming the capital's most fashionable weekend escape. Technically, it isn't even on the coast. Instead, the medieval hilltop town sits around two miles inland, with the vast sweep of Camber Sands a 10-minute drive away. That separation has proved part of its charm: visitors can spend the morning browsing antiques beneath crooked Tudor buildings before heading to five miles of golden sand in time for lunch.

Sediba Sa Rona: A New Lesson on Luxury Botswana Safaris

4th August 2026

I arrived in Botswana hoping to see elephants. Hoping is a stretch – it was the reason I was so intent on visiting the country. Not to sound ungrateful, but not one or two from a distance, either. I wanted to see a herd in their natural habitat. I won’t hold the suspense: I did indeed see them, exactly how I had hoped (manifested). But, as it turned out, Botswana had more than that rare sighting in store for me.

Toulouse by Colours

31st July 2026

They call Toulouse La Ville Rose for good reason. As the afternoon sun dips, the city’s terracotta façades permeate peach, rose and burnt orange hues, casting an uniquely comforting blush over the historic centre. Since the 1st century AD, when the Romans claimed the area and established Tolosa, these elongated bricks were developed to be used in the main buildings, and when lit by the southern sun, have become the city’s defining aesthetic.

30th July 2026

Come to Villa Eden for wellness and leave with a spring in your step - quite literally, in my case, after discovering a miraculous posture adjustment, following a Divine Healing session with consultant, Stefan.
