The globetrotter’s guide to lust-worthy holiday destinations.
GET IN POSITION
We all know the next best thing to travelling is making your friends and followers jealous with your holiday snaps. Here is a check list of some of the most “Instagrammable” elements that are guaranteed to spark major vacay envy.
A ROOM WITH A VIEW
The Reverie Saigon is Ho Chi Minh City’s highest hotel, perfect for taking in unparalled views of the sparkling skyline and winding Saigon River.
WILDLIFE
Four Seasons Safari Lodge in the Serengeti, Tanzania, is where majestic elephants join you at the watering hole while you take a swim.
A BATHTUB
InterContinental Geneve’s is housed in a sumptuous marble bathroom that overlooks scenic Geneva and the alps in the distance
AN INFINITY POOL
Amankila in Bali has not one, not two, but three of these cascading beauties that meld into crystal cerulean waters.
GO LOCO FOR COCO
You may know it only as an island paradise, but Koh Samui is also known for coconuts. So what better way to fuel this fruitful economy than from the comfort of a private villa with a cocktail in hand? The Banyan Tree Samui’s special Iced Tea spiced with Malibu, gin, vodka, triple sec, lime juice, and a splash of young coconut juice, is a great place to start. Aside from take-home treats such as bags handcrafted out of coconut husks, the 120-minute Coconut Immersion spa treatment is simply delightful. It pampers with a pineapple and coconut scrub, deep-tissue massage with coconut oil and sweet bites freshly made from—you guessed it—coconut.
BOOK OF INSPIRATION
If a picture paints a thousand words, the book Follow Me To is one that will take you around the world. Perfect for armchair travellers planning their next getaway, this visual anthology by Instagram-famous photographer Murad Osmann and his girlfriend-muse (now wife), Nataly Zakharova, inspires with hand-holding shots and dramatic details of every country the couple visits, each encapsulating a story of culture, people and colourful heritage.
