With much excitement and buzz, the final round of the 2015 Formula One Grand Prix season took place here in Abu Dhabi. The races took place on Yas Island in the impressive, purpose-built Yas Marina Circuit – complete with waterfront views, luxury yachts and the spectacular Viceroy Hotel wrapped around it’s sharp bends. It’s a big occasion […]
I’m currently in Abu Dhabi, taking full advantage of the great weather and large calendar of events during this popular time of the year. We spent a wonderful evening dining in Hakkasan, one of my favourite restaurants. We started off in the gorgeous blue cocktail bar ordering ‘The Hakka‘ martini – Ketal One vodka, kome to […]
My sister recently got married. It was the most beautiful beach wedding in Koh Samui, Thailand. Family and friends traveled from all corners of the world, reuniting in the gorgeous Banyan Tree Resort. The resort is an ideal, luxurious setting for a wedding. We were treated to large, private villas nestled amongst jungle cliffs that look over […]
Sometimes, we just want to be spoiled. We work hard, study hard, take care of our families and sometimes all we want is to be spoiled and pampered for a little bit. Some of my friends are soon heading off on a luxurious trip to Bali (their only requirements). They recently asked me for advice on the […]
After all the “hard work” of searching for the perfect wedding resort, we decided to treat ourselves in Bangkok to an evening amongst the clouds, overlooking the city’s glittering nightlife at Vertigo and Moon Bar, Bangkok. I’d heard all about the rooftop restaurant and bar at the top of the luxurious Banyan Tree Hotel, so couldn’t wait […]
If you’re looking for a modern, stylish hotel in Koh Samui, Thailand, then look no further than The Library Boutique Hotel. I stayed here on a wedding-resort hunt with my sister. It was such a fun trip and staying in this hotel made it just that bit more special. Hidden away down a private street just […]
My last few days in Abu Dhabi were perfectly relaxing – just what I needed. My trip there mostly involved lots of time by the pool, gym, shopping, waterpark rides, movies and the most wonderful brunch at the Emirates Palace. Ok, that probably doesn’t sound very relaxing at all. I always feel I need to make the most of […]
When I was searching hotels for my recent stay in Mykonos, one of the first ones I discovered was San Giorgio Hotel, from the Design Hotels group. As soon as I saw the photos on their website, I booked it straight away. I just loved the authentic, bohemian decor. (And it really is just like in […]
I’ve just come back from a weekend girls-getaway in Mykonos, Greece. It was the perfect escape and just what I needed – sunshine, good food, cocktails and a stylish hotel to stay at. I’m so glad I chose Bill and Coo Boutique Hotel (booked through Mr and Mrs. Smith) as our first hotel. It’s about a 10-15 […]
Roka is well known in London, specializing in sushi and robatayaki cuisine. Little sister to Zuma, Rainer Becker is the founder of these contemporary and stylish restaurants. I went to Roka in Mayfair during my whirlwind tour of fine-dining Japanese restaurants in London, and for me it’s up there as one of the best. There are three Roka’s in London – […]
