It’s hard to beat a classic American or Canadian road trip, but have you ever seen the USA or Canada by train? 🍷🚂

Rail journeys across the United States and Canada offer a slower, more scenic way to travel with no maps, no traffic, just the wide-open landscapes.

There are fabulous journeys in both countries which offer a luxury rail experience like no other, through the stunning Rocky Mountains. You can experience spectacular alpine lakes, towering peaks and gourmet meals as you glide through some of the most breathtaking scenery you’ll ever see.

It’s a beautiful way to see the countryside without having to drive on the other side of the road.

For recommended routes and rail journeys worth adding to your itinerary, get in touch.

Float into the sunrise over the Maasai Mara or Serengeti 🎈🦓

There’s nothing quite like watching the African plains come to life from a hot air balloon. As the sun slowly rises, you drift over the open savannah with giraffes, elephants and zebras moving below. Your tour ends with a champagne breakfast with fresh coffee, bubbles and the wild all around you.

This is one of those truly special experiences that makes a trip to Kenya or Tanzania unforgettable.

For stay recommendations and to book your balloon ride, get in touch.

A stylish Spanish summer with a touch of blue 💙

Dolce & Gabbana is back with a pop up at La Cabane Marbella Beach Club, giving it a fresh new look with cabanas and pool lounges dressed in their signature Blu Mediterraneo print. There’s also a selection of Dolce & Gabbana pieces available at the boutique.

It’s a gorgeous spot to spend long, sun-soaked days poolside with a spritz in hand, soaking up views across the Mediterranean.

The pop up runs all summer and is expected to continue through September - definitely worth a visit if you’re heading to Marbella and the Costa del Sol!
