Luxury Boutique Hotel in Morocco

A Luxury Boutique Spa Hotel in
Such a place is the Ksar Massa a mere forty five minute drive from Agadir, although you would do well to consider a taxi, and not a car, because the track leading to the hotel is deeply rutted, and a 4x4 will definitely be required especially in the wetter winter months. Arrival at this particular Morocco Boutique Hotel is something you won’t forget in a hurry, as the track to Ksar Massa runs for several miles past children, goats, donkeys, and then suddenly you loop down a steep hillside, and you arrive at the terracotta low building right on the water’s edge that is the hotel.

St Barts is not an easy place to arrive at, because the twenty seater aircraft has to land on a tiny runway.

A Luxury Retreat in Tuscany
- By Peter Stewart
- Published 1 February 2008

A Luxury retreat by its very nature needs obviously to be luxurious, but to be a retreat it also needs to be hidden away, not easy to find, and somewhere you can feel totally relaxed and away from everyday pressures. La Bandita in Tuscany Italy easily fulfils all these requirements.
If you decide to hire a car or even heaven forbid drive from another European country it is quite likely you won’t find La Bandita at the first or even second time of trying, indeed you will probably need to call La Bandita to get directions it is that well hidden away up a track needing four wheel drive.
You can stand outside La Bandita and look to all corners of the compass and you will see nothing but hills, some sheep and perhaps some sheepdogs. Try listening for the roar of traffic, or the sounds of other people in the vicinity, and you won’t hear much if anything at all.
That pretty well deals with the retreat aspect of luxury retreat, so now what about the luxury at La Bandita.........

A Family Ski Holiday in France in the Rhone Alps
- By Peter Stewart
- Published 28 January 2008
- French Alps
A Family Ski Holiday in France, or more precisely a family ski vacation in the Rhone Alps at Les Gets, staying in the most luxurious hotel that is the Ferme de Montagne is just about as good as it gets.
The Ferme de Montagne manages to create the atmosphere and accommodation of a top class ski chalet whilst in reality it is one of the very best small luxury hotels you may ever stay in.
A ski holiday, especially a family ski holiday be it in France or anywhere else, does require some specific things to ensure its success, and this isn’t just snow!! It isn’t even the weather conditions, or the quality of the slopes at the end of the day.
Children by and large will be happy whatever theweather as long as there is snow, and slopes, but for the parents, one of the absolute keys to a successful family ski vacation is the accommodation. This should preferably be luxurious, and as many of the hassles that having children along anywhere should if possible be reduced or even better removed altogether!!
It can be a lot less than fun getting children dressed for a day on the slopes, making sure they have all their layers on, boots, skis poles, you name it, there’s bound to be some small unimportant item that you forget like a ski pass. Then of course you will very quickly exhaust yourself carrying skis, queuing , making sure everyone is keeping up, with the result that you are exhausted before you get to ski yourself.
This is where the Ferme de Montagne changes everything .......A Unique Boutique Hotel in Lhasa Tibet China

What Riviera Hotel can possibly be its equal with a panorama such as this. The Chateau de Chevre d’Or has its rooms and suites scattered through the village, and you are unlikely to find more elegant accommodation anywhere else in this part of the world.
If you decide to book the Chevre d’Or then take full advantage of what the hotel has to offer. It is the ideal place for a couple seeking a long getaway weekend, or a romantic break, or just a battery recharge for a few days. It is probably not a long stay family holiday place, if for no other reason it is jolly expensive but equally you certainly get what you pay for.

Manda Bay in Kenya Would Make an Extraordinary All Inclusive Family Vacation Package
- By Peter Stewart
- Published 4 January 2008
- Lamu
All inclusive Family Vacation Packages and Luxury Holidays don’t somehow lie easily together. Most people’s vision of an all inclusive package is one of a large somewhat garish 21st Century all singing all dancing hotel containing lots of people you wouldn’t want to be with.
What we have here is somewhat different.
If in your opinion all inclusive means big, and that means beautiful, then read no further because Manda Bay is the stuff that dreams are made of, but families who make this choice need to be aware that this is laid back luxury, but whilst there is plenty to do, there are no discos, night clubs, but rather peace, tranquillity and great unspoilt natural beauty. Best of all if this is your idea of heaven, then you will find the other guests are very much like you!!
