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.

Lux Holiday: a weekend in Mumbai, India

FIRST POSTED: 7th May 2015 | LAST UPDATED: 21st January 2020

We had a taste of Mumbai, just a little one and it left us begging for more. The service we had everywhere was outstanding, everything worked despite the chaos around us and the people we met were out of this world. I honestly cannot wait to go back and explore some more.

Prague is a special city for me. Why? Because 10 years earlier, I was to meet the man I would marry 4 years later.

FIRST POSTED: 5th April 2015 | LAST UPDATED: 19th December 2023

On my recent trip to South Africa, I spent 3 days at the Kruger Park – it was my first safari experience – and I have to say, I loved it. During our stay, we went on 4 game drives and we were incredibly lucky to spot the ‘Big 5’.

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.

A lux weekend in Los Angeles, California

FIRST POSTED: 12th February 2015 | LAST UPDATED: 18th January 2021

I love LA. I love LA. I love LA. I know it is a love or hate city (and a very large city at that), but I am a fan. I am even a bigger fan of a little nice ‘mini-city’ (in true American style, of course) called Beverly Hills. You may have heard about it.

My hOtel: Four Seasons Istanbul at Sultanahmet, Turkey

FIRST POSTED: 6th February 2015 | LAST UPDATED: 18th January 2021

Returning to Istanbul was pretty special – but I have to say, the Four Seasons Istanbul at Sultanahmet was unforgettable. There was something about it – maybe the fact that was a prison before, which somehow made me not want to leave… (weird, I know!).
