Known for luxury shopping, architecture, and a lively nightlife scene, Dubai offers the best of everything whether you’re looking for a relaxing beach holiday or looking to explore the corners of the amazing city. Enjoy the sun and sand in one of the many luxury resorts and breathe in the breathtaking views from atop the world’s tallest skyscraper. 

 

Talking about skyscrapers, the Burj Khalifa, is a staggering 828 meters tall, soaring over Dubai. Fun fact: did you know the skyscraper is three times as tall as the Eiffel Tower and nearly twice as tall as the Empire State Building and not to forget end to end, its pieces stretch over a quarter of the way around the world. Amazing! Dubai is also home to the man-made Palm Jumeirah which is the most sought out place to stay when travelling here so be aware even though it’s not the cheapest if you are looking for luxury you will not be disappointed.

The Burj Al Arab is the most iconic and has often been described as the world’s first 7* hotel in Dubai. During your stay here a butler will be on hand for all your needs whilst you bathe and relax with luxurious Hermès products. Fun fact, the interiors at the hotel are gilded with 24 carat gold and it is also home to the largest Swarovski crystal ceiling in the world. If that doesn’t tickle your fancy the hotel also has a designated turtle hospital which treats sick and injured sea turtles in collaboration with Dubai’s Wildlife protection office.

A post shared by The Seychelles Islands (@visitseychelles)

With 115 pristine islands, sugar sand beaches, warm turquoise waters with enchanting mountainsides the Seychelles is a place you will go and won’t be disappointed. You will be able to explore the underwater world of turtles, marine fishes, kaleidoscopic coral gardens and undiscovered shipwrecks. It is known as one of the most romantic and luxurious places in the world. If you are like me and can’t sit on the beach for too long, the Seychelles is the perfect place as not only can you relax you can also go island hopping. There are regular ferries, speedboat and helicopter transfers so you can combine at least two or three destinations should you wish. 

 

North Island in the Seychelles is the world’s most exclusive hideaway with only 11 villas overlooking the pristine, powder-white sands and turquoise waters of the Ile Du Nord eco-reserve. Here you will once again be provided with dedicated butlers and private chefs who cater to their guests needs to make the stay as unique as possible. Fun fact, the island is home to a 160-year-old tortoise called Brutus and Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge in 2011 also spent their honeymoon here.
