Many choose the 39-room Hotel Saint-Barth Isle de France for its perfect holiday location — it is right on Baie des Flamands, the island’s longest, widest beach.
Whitewashed rooms are decorated in vintage French fabric and translucent voile, but in the
end, the hotel is all about the coast. Even the restaurant makes the most of its location, serving lunches of lobster spring rolls or iced pea soup at tables set in the sand.
If you are looking for five star luxury in a sophisticated and understated elegant location, welcome to to the Isle De France. The best St Barth has to offer! Paradise that never disappoints. It does not get better than this.

In its idyllic setting off the island of Taveuni, Qamea Resort and Spa is indeed a fantasy island. Flying from Nadi to Taveuni Airport takes one hour and fifteen minutes in a small commuter plane. The flight passes over lots of islands to land at the one-hut-airport on Taveuni. Villagers smile and wave as you pass by during the 25-minute drive from the airport.
Then it’s a quick 10-minute boat ride to your resort paradise. The resort layout is like that of a traditional Fijian village in a natural jungle setting. The songs of tropical birds are carried on gentle South Pacific breezes and help explain why this particular resort is a popular honeymoon destination. The bures are surrounded by native plants for privacy and are all footsteps away
from the warm, clear waters.
The resort spa is designed to make you feel like you’re in the middle of a rainforest. As you lie on the table getting massaged with natural coconut oils, there are no human sounds to be heard, just the native birds talking and the soothing sounds of the lapping waves.
The boutique Qamea Resort and Spa starts from $630 per bure per night (based on a six night stay) including breakfast, lunch and dinner daily plus your choice of a free add on romance, diving, spa or adventure package. This rate is valid through to 31 March 2012. Visit www.qamea.com.

Is it a good time to be planning your dream holiday to Greece — a beautiful country in its third year of economic crisis and which is now on the brink of punishing debt restructure?
“Greek tourism is actually not doing as badly as you might think,” The Guardian recently noted. This in spite of the fact that “according to credit ratings agencies, Greece is a worse economic bet than either Pakistan or Ecuador.”
Bottom line: if there’s a safe, romantic haven hiding out in any country this financially bungled,
it has to be Greece’s eternal newlywed-magnet isle, Santorini.
With stark volcanic cliffs and strings of whitewashed villages, the pride of the Cyclades may have actually been buoyed by the falling euro, with reports of “banner years” in 2010 and 2011 — and promising signs in 2012.
Couples who are rightfully drawn to Santorini are a world apart from all that. They’re too busy escaping on cruises to the neighboring islet of Thirasia (population 270) where a quiet cliff-top taverna has a glass of ouzo and plate of fava beans with their name on it.
Or basking in hot mud springs on the nearby “Burnt Islands” of Palaia Kameni and Nea Kemeni.
Or parking in the seaside town of Oia for one of the world’s most life-affirming sunsets, joined by other starry-eyed couples who haven’t encountered a business section in days.

The stunning and secluded Hilton Maldives/Iru Fushi Resort & Spa is set on the unspoilt Noonu Atoll and is accessed by a scenic 45 minute seaplane ride from Male. Hilton is set around a small private island. About half the rooms are on stilts over the shallow lagoon. Have your own detached ground-floor suites on terra firma, with French windows that open on to a sandy path leading directly to your own bit of beach.
Of course, the Hilton isn’t cheap. But your money does buy luxury. This is a world of private beaches, outdoor showers, shaded divans, spa baths and lobster grilled straight from the sea. Kobe beef is flown in from Japan, and strawberries come from Europe half the year and Australia the other half.
The full-board set-up is great for children. After two days, an adult tire of piling spaghetti carbonara, cinnamon swirls and roast beef on to the same plate. But for picky tots, a four-corners-of-the-earth buffet is heaven. As an adult once you’ve got over the disconcerting feeling of having nothing whatsoever to do it’s very nice, too.
You eat well. You drink well. You commute from beach to poolside to restaurant to poolside to beach. And the surrounds are just as lovely as the brochures suggest.
On the beach, hermit crabs the size of a thumbnail amble by in white whorls of shell, and ghost crabs fly across the sand at evening. At night, at the end of the monsoon season, phosphorescent plankton washes ashore and fringes the beach with luminous glitter. But you’d enjoy none of that were it not for the child-friendliness, the resort’s number one concern.
This is a great resort for everyone. Are you honeymooners or a family having your annual holiday? Regardless will you have a splendid time.

Wow this is a stunning part of the world. The Ultimate Travel Company has some great deals for you, that is if you want to travel to paradise 
This impression is strengthened when you first set eyes on the hilltop stone ‘castle’ that forms the hub of the resort. The charming lounge and bar are where you meet other guests over lavish afternoon teas or relaxing sundowners, and the adjacent restaurant showcases the finest local and international cuisine enhanced by panoramic views over the Atlantic Ocean and North Sound.
Of course, the 31 guest suites are equally captivating, each one a spacious sanctuary either set
back in the ‘natural’ gardens or perched along the shoreline. Standard amenities include iHome players, outdoor showers and 300-thread-count cotton bed linens, whilst plunge pools and LCD TVs are just some of the little luxuries also available in the expansive Grand and Premier Suites.
I think my second honeymoon is going to be at The British Virgin Islands. Visit The Ultimate Travel Company and book your dream holiday.
