A luxury holiday in Funchal, Madeira (Portugal)

FIRST POSTED: 20th May 2015 | LAST UPDATED: 11th December 2020

I loved our 3 days in Madeira – and I was so mad with myself for taking so long to visit the island again. Our trip to Madeira with Sovereign was exceptional and we had one of our best weekends ever. #ParadiseFound indeed.

A lux weekend in Northern Ireland

FIRST POSTED: 18th March 2015 | LAST UPDATED: 8th September 2020

When I mentioned that I was going to Northern Ireland for a weekend, many friends and readers were really surprised. But it was one of the places I always wanted to go – it is shameful how little time I spend travelling around the UK, so I was keen to make it happen. Plus Mr. O does a fab Northern Irish accent and I wanted more. A lot more.

My hOtel: Hotel d’Angleterre in Copenhagen, Denmark

FIRST POSTED: 24th January 2015 | LAST UPDATED: 9th September 2015

The grand dame of Danish hospitality, the Hotel d’Angleterre, in Copenhagen, was the only place on my list on my recent visit to Denmark’s capital. Recently the subject of an incredibly tasteful refurbishment, I must admit it was one of the most beautifully designed hotels I have ever stayed at. Pair that with possibly the best looking team ever, and we were in for a treat.

A long villa weekend in Mallorca, Spain

FIRST POSTED: 9th January 2015 | LAST UPDATED: 12th November 2020

Returning to Mallorca was, as expected, almost magic. There is something about this island – very relaxed, but also quite chic, and also very pleasant to the eye. I like the variety that it offers – you can be in places where you see no one, you can do some decent shopping, the food is incredible and the sea is so beautiful, you can’t quite believe you are in Europe.
