Feel every moment...
If someone asked you from a sun lounger in the Maldives, on a sky safari in Tanzania, or at the dinner table in Dubai, ‘why here?’, what would you say?

It can be tricky to pinpoint an answer, but trace the journey back to the moment the idea hit and it all becomes quite straightforward. We travel in order to feel something different. Where we choose to go will be informed by that, with the reality being even more rewarding as we feel an entire spectrum of emotions wherever we decide to journey. It may not even be conscious at the time, but when we’re away from the hubbub of everyday life we can’t help but be truly present. Breathing a little deeper and lingering a little longer to stir a smile, a sigh or a gasp.
This year, instead of a collection of our favourite lodgings, we wanted to bring you a selection of stories that tell of destinations that spark connections and provoke poignant reactions. Tales of unforgettable holidays that will excite all the senses and satisfy the principle reason we all roam: to feel alive.
