Delight in dining for all ages at Olives Restaurant, where skilled chefs prepare your favourite flavours from Italy and the Mediterranean. This relaxed all-day restaurant in The Palace offers marble family tables and a terrace shrouded in vibrant bougainvillea for shared al fresco feasts.

The Great Outdoors

Exhilarating Watersports – Experience the thrill of flying above the water with our Flyboard and Jet Pack experiences. Skip over the sea during a knee-boarding, wake-boarding session. Enjoy a laughter-filled banana boat or donut ride, or take a guided jet ski tour, complete with photo opportunities of Dubai’s most iconic sights.

KidsOnly Fun – Junior adventurers can embrace the great outdoors at KidsOnly, a dedicated kids’ club. Highlights include falcon encounters and an Arabian treasure hunt. Learn how to bake cookies and apple pies with our chefs, or create a Dubai keepsake using palm fronds, sand and pottery.

Game On – Dubai’s endless sunshine makes it the ideal destination for sports fans. Challenge your family to a friendly game of tennis or padel tournament on floodlit courts, play a match of badminton and beach volleyball, or test your golfing skills on the putting green. All you need to bring is your competitive spirit.

Are you looking for something ultra luxurious?

Sandy lane, Barbados

The grandest and most famous of Barbados resorts celebrated its 60th birthday in 2021 following extensive renovation work inside and outside its iconic pink Palladian-style buildings. Set on an ancient waterfront mahogany grove on the island’s Platinum Coast, it’s a glamorous celebrity magnet yet retains a laidback Caribbean charm, with super-friendly staff dispensing impeccable service. Expect an airport concierge on arrival, luggage packing and unpacking, and sunlounger-side pampering including cold towels, water-misting and tropical drinks (and a no-tipping policy).

Truly breathtaking facilities include three golf courses with a combined 45 holes and nine floodlit tennis courts along with professional tuition. The spa alone is dazzling, with treatments range from state-of-the-art ‘haute couture’ facials to Bajan sugar-cane wraps using signature oils and brown sugar to exfoliate.

There are also complimentary daily fitness classes including Pilates, yoga and circuits, a vast swimming pool with underwater music, a Beach Club with water sports, a kid’s club and teen den, and off-site scuba-diving and deep-sea fishing charters. You’re also just a few minutes by road from historic Holetown with its gourmet restaurants and designer shopping at the likes of Ralph Lauren and Louis Vuitton.

Food is one of the highlights of any stay here, especially Bajan Blue’s popular weekly West Indies buffets, romantic L’Acajou with its French and Mediterranean fine dining on the beachfront, and The Country Club with its civilised golfer’s cream teas. As well as spacious rooms and suites with up to four bedrooms, there’s a five-bedroom villa, making Sandy Lane perfect for reunions with family or friends, including multigenerational holidays.

GRAND HOTEL TREMEZZO

Reminiscing of my time at this beautiful hotel in lake como

An art nouveau mansion in a prime position on the shore of Lake Como, Grand Hotel Tremezzo presses all the right buttons when it comes to stylish, on-point interiors (velvet, marble, but never over-done), exquisite gardens and one of the most write-home-about pools – somehow floating on top of the lake. Rich in history, elegantly old-school and with service that does justice to its outstanding restaurant and bar menus, it takes a strong will not to lean here on the old cliché: la dolce vita.
