When opportunity knocks…
It pays to say ‘yes’ to everything on holiday, whether that’s sightseeing in New York, snorkelling and sundowners in the Caribbean, or socialising in style in Greece.

The Heart
Take a bite out of the Big Apple
Where to start: with a bike tour of the city or a long walk along The High Line? A Nordstrom VIP shopping session, or perhaps live jazz in the Lincoln Center? A swimming lesson for little water babies, and a bar-hop between New York’s secret speakeasies for their thirsty parents? Do all this and more, courtesy of the Mandarin Oriental New York, ideally located at the union of Columbus Circle and Central Park, with larger-than-life marble baths, cocktails and views from the 25-metre pool. Even locals can’t keep up with the city that never sleeps; there will be new neighbourhoods to discover every time you visit.
Oceanfront suite at Peter Island Resort
Villa swimming pool at W Costa Navarino
Spread your wings, social butterflies
‘W’ for ‘wow’ moments, from start to finish; guests at W Hotel’s first Grecian outpost want to see, be seen and have fun while doing both in serious style. After all, ancient Greek agoras were the place to be, and the effervescent Navarino Agora is no exception. At W Costa Navarino, the only choice to make is which ‘wow’ comes next. While away happy hours on the high energy WET deck, lounging, laughing, swimming and unwinding, as day slips seamlessly into night, or on 450 metres of sandy beach with friends and family. AWAY Spa treatments, a round of golf on one of four courses, beach club beats, competitively friendly watersports – whichever floats your boat. Overnight ‘wow’ in the form of the crème de la crème of W’s villas (and a multi-gen family’s paradise). Located on the beachfront, it comes complete with its own bar, firepit and outdoor cinema. Wow.
Carpe diem in island heaven
After Peter Island Resort was decimated by hurricane Irma in 2017, its owner dug deep. When life gives you lemons… five-star hoteliers seize the opportunity to modernise and reconfigure their charismatic, glamorous property. All but two of the rooms, suites and villas are now found on spellbindingly white beachfronts, on the British Virgin Island’s largest private island, amid lush greenery. There’s time to linger over emerald-sea swims, sun dappled sand snoozes, cocktails and champagne picnics; and time to explore deserted coves, sports courts and the beautiful boats moored in palm-fringed Deadman’s Bay. Up for starting your day with a run around the resort’s five-mile loop? It’s not for the faint of heart, they warn, and you won’t forget the ‘hill’, but you certainly won’t regret it.
Lighthouse at InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort
Mes Lalla Restaurant at Mandarin Oriental Marrakech
Find so much more than Nemo
Settled in the Raa Atoll, the InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort is surrounded by two Manta Ray sanctuaries; the property has in-house marine biologists to enhance every water-based experience, from snorkelling the reef at dawn, when you might spot vibrant fish, octopuses and turtles, to diving deeper into important conservation topics. If you prefer to stay above the water, you’ll find that dolphins are the star turn during sunset cruises and, unusually for the Maldives, a beautiful lighthouse restaurant.
Magical Moroccan experiences
Perhaps you’re drawn to the Atlas Mountains of Morocco and its mystical olive groves, which surround the Mandarin Oriental Marrakech. Here, Berber and Andalusian-Arabic influences are blended with eastern traditions to exquisite effect. Within the resort are found fragrant gardens and small dunes, a small farm and chef’s garden – guests can help to pick fruit and have a go at carpentry, pottery or weaving. Other experiences available in the Red City through the hotel include a visit to Jardin Majorelle, one of the most renowned and breathtaking gardens in the world, and tours of both the Yves Saint Laurent Museum and La Galerie 38 – a premier destination for emerging and established artists. A plethora of magical Moroccan adventures awaits.
