🌿 Ever stayed in an 800-year-old forest with luxury at every turn? ⤵️

💎 Treetops Lodge & Estate in New Zealand’s Rotorua region is a rare gem—a place where you can wake up surrounded by ancient forest, with all the modern luxuries waiting for you. Picture yourself exploring 2,500 acres of pristine wilderness, then returning to your private villa with a crackling fireplace and a glass of local wine. It’s nature, but elevated.

🍃 At Treetops, you’ll find unique experiences that connect you to the land, like the Maori Food Trail, wild food cooking classes (perfect for the kids too!), and a Wilderness Spa offering traditional Maori therapies. And if you’re a golfer, you’ll have exclusive access to the nearby Jack Nicklaus-designed Kinloch course.

✨ Enjoy exclusive perks like daily breakfast, a food and beverage credit, early check-in, late check-out, and room upgrades (when available). Contact me at [email protected] to make this extraordinary holiday a reality.

If you could only choose one experience at Treetops, would it be the Maori Food Trail, the Wilderness Spa, or a 4WD safari through the forest? Comment below—I’d love to know! 👇

⛵ Picture a private, traditional wooden boat, a gentle sail down the Loire River, and nothing but quiet, natural beauty around you. While your teens sip fruit juice and take in the scenery, you’re handed a glass of local wine and a spread of cheeses and charcuterie. It’s a peaceful, perfectly French moment—just you, your family, and the Loire.

✨ What I love about this experience (and why I recommend it) is how it pulls everyone together without the usual sightseeing rush. Teens who might usually be glued to their screens find themselves watching the world drift by. And with the laid-back atmosphere and a beautiful setting, it’s perfect for reconnecting with each other—without the pressure of ticking off another landmark.

With a private guide and captain taking care of every detail, you can just sit back and savour the journey. If you’re craving a meaningful family experience on your next holiday to France, I’d love to help you make it happen.

🌹 A hidden Norman manor with a touch of English charm… ⤵️

🏰 Tucked away near Omaha Beach, Chateau La Cheneviere feels like discovering a secret world—an 18th-century manor surrounded by rose gardens and century-old trees. It’s the kind of place where every detail whispers elegance, yet nothing feels stuffy.

For those of you who crave both history and luxury, this gem is truly something special. With just 29 rooms, each one is a cosy, upscale retreat featuring plush bathrobes, Nuxe products, and sweeping views of the lush grounds.

👨🏽‍🍳 Dining at Le Botaniste, led by Chef Didier Robin, is another highlight—think seasonal, garden-to-table dishes crafted from the Château’s own grounds and the best of Normandy’s local produce.

🍷 If you could only spend one day here, would you start with a glass of Calvados by the fireplace, a garden stroll, or a meal fit for royalty? Comment below—I’d love to know! 👇

Want to experience this hidden treasure and enjoy additional benefits like complimentary breakfast, hotel credits, early check-in, late check-out, and upgrades (subject to availability)? Email me at [email protected] to make it all happen.

🍷 Ever tasted wine straight from the vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape? ⤵️

If you’re looking for a blend of culture, history, and some of the best local experiences France has to offer, this Scenic Idyllic Rhône cruise is your ticket to uncovering it all. From the vibrant streets of Paris to the lavender fields of Provence, you’ll discover France in the most enriching way possible – one luxurious experience at a time.

💖 Now, I might be a bit biased (Paris has my heart – been there 6 times and counting), but this itinerary is special. You’ll start with two days exploring the City of Light – chic boulevards, hidden wine bars, and of course, endless people-watching at the cafés. There’s just something magical about Paris that never gets old.

🚄 Then, it’s off to Lyon via high-speed train, where your Scenic Space-Ship awaits to take you on a luxurious journey along the Rhône. Settle into your elegant suite, take in the views from the deck, or unwind with a glass of wine at the Panorama Lounge – a moment to soak in the beauty of France from the river.

🚵🏽‍♀️ Feeling refreshed? The next day, choose from a range of experiences, like a relaxing guided cycle through Lyon’s Tête d’Or Park, or, for the foodies, visit an organic goat farm for a local cheese tasting – a true taste of French countryside life.

🛳️ As the cruise continues, a visit to the famous Châteauneuf-du-Pape is included, where you can savour some of France’s best vintages straight from the source. You’ll even get the chance to join a Provence herbal workshop and create your own lavender cream, a perfect souvenir to take home.

What’s more your style – cycling through Lyon’s parks, cheese tasting in the countryside, or sipping wine in Provence? Let me know in the comments! 👇

Ever been to a place that stays with you long after you leave?

🌴 For me, that’s Club Med Bintan. I visited about 10 years ago, and to this day, I can still picture that peaceful stretch of beach and feel the laid-back vibe of the island.

What really stuck with me—besides the stunning views of the South China Sea—was how easy it was to relax. Whether you’re into wellness activities like yoga, or you're just happy lounging with a good book by the pool (my personal favourite), Bintan has this incredible way of making you feel like time slows down. And the food? Fresh, local flavours that made every meal something to savour.

💎 If you’re travelling with family, this place is a gem. There’s plenty for everyone—flying trapeze for the adventurous, spa treatments for those craving some "me" time, and loads of activities that bring the whole family together. It’s a place where every moment counts, and I know it’ll leave you with memories to cherish, just like it did for me.

🇫🇯 Fiji with the Family? This is the trip. 🌴

🗺️ A holiday to Fiji never gets old…. It’s something special. There’s a vibe here that just feels right for reconnecting, making those little moments matter.

🌺 At Shangri-La Yanuca Island, you’ll get more than just an escape. Picture this: your kids off exploring the Little Chiefs Club while you sneak in a beach massage (or maybe just a quiet moment by the water). Start the day with a family picnic on a hidden beach, then head out to the Sigatoka Sand Dunes for a guided tour—just one of the many experiences that gives you a taste of Fiji’s rich culture.

Oh, and two 4-hour babysitting sessions? I know how precious a little “you time” can be, especially when there’s an incredible feast waiting at the VOU Sacred Flame Show. Don’t worry—the kids are covered with free meals, and daily breakfast for everyone is included!

✨ Ever wandered through Florence without a single tourist in sight? ⤵️

That’s the beauty of Windstar’s Winter Riviera cruise aboard the Star Legend. I’ve sailed on this elegant yacht before, and let me tell you — the smaller ship size means you get an intimate, personalised experience that’s hard to find elsewhere.
