<p>There are so many incredible destinations to choose from, especially with the stunning escapes we offer across the Caribbean, Asia, and Europe. That said, I’ve just returned from the most unforgettable trip to Mauritius, and if I had to recommend one place right now, it would be this beautiful island.</p>



<p>A split stay in Mauritius is ideal, as the North and South each offer something unique — from the livelier atmosphere and cultural charm of the North to the serene, untouched beauty of the South. Down south, Anantara is a true gem. It’s the perfect blend of barefoot luxury and tranquillity.</p>



<p>The island is surrounded by coral reef, which forms a calm, crystal-clear lagoon that’s perfect for swimming, snorkelling, or simply relaxing in the water. It’s a destination that naturally invites both adventure and deep relaxation.</p>

<p>I’m so often asked&nbsp;<em>‘</em>Where can I go in Europe, with the kids, for beautiful, foodie luxury but that’s still suitable for all of us<em>?</em>&#8216;&nbsp;I first discovered Ikos three years ago and have since returned to the brand time and again for unrivalled family style and relaxation. If you are looking for the grown-up vibe but still understand the need for all things kid-friendly, this is a total win. With restaurant choices galore, beautiful accommodation, and Ofsted-rated kids clubs and activities, you can choose between resorts across Europe. And, as an Ikos Specialist, I also have access to the most competitive rates to ensure a stay is extra special. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Traveling with demanding teens requires a different approach, and there are several beautiful properties getting it right. For the best in sport offerings, take a look at Pine Cliffs in the Algarve, with the finest tennis and football academies on site, as well as golf, water sports, kids’ clubs and wellness offerings. Perched on the legendary red cliffs of the Algarve, with stunning ocean views, you can choose between a number of accommodation options, but you’ll find that each offers impeccable service and most-importantly… the teens are busy!&nbsp;</p>

<p>From experience, I can say that one of the most incredible adventures is a South African safari. You start with an overnight flight to Johannesburg, then get whisked to a local flight into Kruger Park, where you land in an entirely different world. Personally, I’m passionate about the Sabi Sands, a Private Game Reserve adjacent to the Kruger, where conservation is the priority, the game viewing is incredibly diverse and the service at the lodges is second to none. It’s truly a special experience—one I can’t wait to share with my own children when they’re old enough. For the ultimate in luxury, I recommend Leopard Hills Private Game Reserve. Try combining this with an unforgettable city break in Cape Town, which makes for the perfect trip. I love crafting tailor-made journeys and helping clients discover the perfect lodges, hotels, and routes for their dream adventure</p>
