Recently voted as the Number one Resort and Spa of choice in Mauritius is The Sands Resort and Spa a Flic En Flac Hotel  on the west coast. As there are some amazing hotels in Mauritius including the legendary St Geran, it is worth investigating what has made The Sands so popular amongst visitors.

 

Firstly the situation lends itself to being a luxury romantic vacation getaway, a real hideaway situated on the west coast of  Mauritius, at the southern end of the beautiful Wolmar Beach with spectacular views across the Bay of Tamarin.

The beach itself is about two hundred and fifty metres long of white ......... to read the rest go to Mauritius Luxury Holiday or Indian Ocean Hideaways 

A St Barts Vacation

St Barts, is St Barths short for St Barthelemy in the French West Indies and a St Barts Vacation staying at the Eden Rock Hotel is just about as good as it gets, always provided you have very deep pockets. The Eden rock sits on a rock that sticks out into St Jean Bay and has 33 rooms and suites, of which 20 are on the rock and eight suites and five houses stand on the white sand beach next door.

 

St Barts is not an easy place to arrive at, because the twenty seater aircraft has to land on a tiny runway. As a passenger you will be too focused on the proximity of the aircraft to the ground, and even motor cars as it swoops in to land, to notice the jumble of roofs covering a large circular rock that sticks out from a white sand beach.

Be comforted by two things, the first of which is that the ............. to read the rest of thisarticle go to A St Barts Vacation or Caribbean Vacation Spots

Romantic honeymoon packages to Goa have become popular recently, but many are disappointed by the beach resort they choose. Why not look at a place like Majorda, but don’t look at a Majorda beach resort, instead look at the Vivenda dos Palhacos, and you won’t be disappointed.

 

The Vivenda dos Palhacos is hidden away down a coconut fringed cul de sac in the village of Majorda where life is very peaceful and tranquil, not at all like the hustle and bustle of some of the beaches of Goa. It is a gem of a boutique hotel, set in a restored century old Portugese mansion, and is just a kilometre from the beach, but a world away.

 

The hotel, and that isn’t really the best words to describe the Vivenda dos Palhacos, staying with friends in their private home would be much better, consists of two buildings are six double bedrooms.

If you can, then book the Konnagar Suite which is huge and has a verandah where you can sit for hours watching village life pass you by.

If you happen to have brought ...................... for the rest of the article go to Romantic Honeymoon or Indian Sub Continent

A Perfect honeymoon vacation in many people’s opinion should be in an hotel which has no children as guests. Listed as one of the top honeymoon vacation hotels in Europe is the Imaret at Kavala in Greece. It doesn’t allow children, and for a number of reasons should seriously be considered as a suitable destination for a romantic honeymoon destination.

 

The Imaret in Kavala in Greece is what is known as a ‘Monument’ hotel. It is a genuine historical restored building which just oozes history from every pore. Built in the early part of the nineteenth century by the Viceroy of Egypt as his gift to the town of Kavala it has been restored as a monument hotel in 2004 ensuring that the building’s character and cultural heritage were preserved. Staying here is like staying in history and feeling part of it. One guest described their experience here as being part of an oriental fairy tale, and you will realise why within minutes of your arrival

This background makes it an ideal place to spend a honeymoon vacation, but there is .................... for the rest of the article go to Honeymoon Vacation or European Hotels

Mention a French Riviera Hotel, La Provence, and one immediately thinks of places like Cannes, St Tropez, Antibes, where the beautiful people go to see and be seen. Not many people outside France know anything much about a place called Porquerolles Island in the Mediterranean off the French Coast near Hyeres.

 

They know even less about a gem of a place called Le Mas du Langoustier the most isolated and sublimely situated luxury hotel in the whole of the south of France. On an island free of cars, if you arrive by car you will need to leave it at the ferry port of La Tour Fondue before the short journey to Porquerolles Island, where you will be met by the hotel’s shuttle bus.

Le Mas du Langoustier is situated on the western part of the island, and has a huge reputation for its food. It is a real romantic hideaway, hidden between pines and eucalyptus with panoramic views of the turquoise Mediterranean and the beach below.

 

The hotel has fifty luxurious rooms which are beautifully appointed, and in fact the whole place is like a private residence furnished with antiques and Objet d’Art.

There are 45 standard or superior rooms, with some of the larger superior rooms having a balcony but none of the rooms has a sea view. There also four apartments each with two bedrooms which are ideal for families. Every bedroom has an ensuite marble bathroom, minibar, satellite television, air conditioning and a safe deposit box, and because of the way the hotel is furnished it does have a nineteen thirties feel to it.

Le Mas du Langoustier has the reputation as one of the very top French Riviera Hotels for the food .................... for the rest of the article go to French Riviera Hotel  or European Hotels

A Luxury Retreat in Tuscany

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................... For the rest of the article go to Luxury Retreat in Tuscany or Italy

A Luxury Weekend Break to Marrakesh has the real sound of romance and mystery to it, and it is easily possible to find and book a romantic getaway package to a new Riad in Marrakesh called the Riad Noir D’Ivoire.

 

The luxury weekend break will start at the airport where you will be met, and driven the fifteen minutes to the Medina, and then it is a ten minute walk, and the sights and sounds of Marrakesh will overwhelm you immediately.

 

Situated in the north east section of the Medina in Marrakesh this is a real escape from 21st century life, and a blessed cool relief after the pressures of tourist days in the Medina where you can be pursued for what seems like hours on end!

 

Beautifully decorated, and each with its own feel, there are six rooms of which two are suites, although the double rooms are pretty amazing themselves.

One of the features of all the rooms are........... for th rest of the article go to Riad Noire D'Ivoire or Vacations in Africa

A Romantic Wedding Destination could be The Four Seasons Tented Camp in the Golden Triangle on the borders of Thailand. It is perfectly legal to get married in Thailand, so it should be perfectly possible to do the deed at the Four Seasons Tented Camp, which after all is an hotel anyway.

Even if the Romantic wedding destination were to be in a hotel in Bangkok, then the Golden Triangle would make such a fabulous romantic destination for a honeymoon.

 

Just getting to the Four Seasons Tented Camp in the Golden Triangle is a journey of which dreams are made of.

Even if it isn’t to be a romantic wedding destination you will be treated like royalty from the moment you arrive at Chiang Rai Airport, and escorted to your Land Rover for the one hour fifteen minute journey on dirt roads through jungle, bags carried refreshments and cold towels as well.

 

Arrival at a hut on the other side of the river from the Four Seasons Tented Camp, your luggage will vanish and reappear in your tent, life jackets will be donned, and you will board a traditional Thai Boat. You will see the Elephant Camp, where you will spend time with the elephants, and the Burma Bar where you will spend time with the cocktails watching the sunset over Burma!! You will be staggered that one end to the other the Four Seasons Tented Camp is half a mile.

This whole journey and arrival is about as exotic as ............ for the rest of the article go to Four Seasons Tented Camp or Far East Hotels

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 dramatically, and it doesn’t take longer than the airport if you have chosen to fly, when you are greeted by a top of the range four wheel drive vehicle, and not even allowed to carry your cases, for you to realise you have landed..........

Lhasa China isn’t everybody’s idea of a vacation destination although Lhasa remains one of the most apparently remote mysterious, and even romantic places on earth. Once completely inaccessible it still isn’t easy to get to, and then when you do, there is the question of where do you find a decent Lhasa Hotel.

 

The House of Shambhala could well be the perfect answer, and whilst it may not be the perfect example of a luxury boutique hotel it nevertheless by anyone’s standards it is a unique small boutique hotel only recently opened in Lhasa Tibet, now of course in China. It is certainly vastly preferable to the faceless Chinese hotels to be found in Lhasa.

 

The House of Shambala is quite unlike anything that most people have ever seen in terms of it being an hotel.

It is situated in the Barkhor area in the historic heart of old Lhasa, and it looks like nothing at all as you enter off the street. In fact you will wonder if your guide has brought you to the right place as you pass a row of prayer wheels, then suddenly you find yourself in a traditional Tibetan Lhasa House which has quite obviously been lovingly restored, and turned into a real funky boutique hotel

 

The House of Shambalha is the kind of house where a nobleman would have lived, and is three storeyed, built around a courtyard, with prayer wheels and a shrine in the lobby.

There are 10 bedrooms and each .................... to read the rest of this article go to House of Shambhala or Far East Hotels
