Yet another luxury travel blog
Rumour has it that when god saw Ol Jogi, he stood up, slow clapped and said, “that’s crazier than George Santos’ CV”. He then had to counter it with something equally as mental, so created Liz Truss. No, I’m still not over it. This is going to be a hard […]
Airelles have become one of my favourite luxury hotel groups. Their strong service ethos, an extremely family-friendly focus blended with luxury and an emphasis on sense-of-place. But what if the place isn’t that great? Then what do you do? Airelles Courchevel decided to go in all with a Swiss alpine […]
I really hate the French. They have better food than us Brits, better weather, a vastly superior national football team (even accounting for football coming home, a few days ago). They don’t elect morons as Presidents, their healthcare system works, they’re part of the EU and boy do they know […]
Xigera, pronounced Kij-eh-rah, roughly translates from the local language into “holy hell this place is really expensive”.

Sometimes I feel like I’m in an experiment, but I’m not sure what the test is. Is this my purgatory assessment? Perhaps I’m being asked to show the empathy of a decent human being? You see, folks, this blog is quite well known in the travel industry. I don’t live […]
Velaa Private Island, Maldives Room type: Deluxe Beach Pool Villa Duration: 9 > 16th December, 2021 It’s been a rough few years for travel. Not the lockdowns, I’m on about much more serious matters. We lost North Island to Marriott, Iniala is all but gone and Laucala has lost their […]
Sirai Beach, Kenya Room type: Master Suite Duration: 27 > 30th October, 2021 First impressions last, last impressions last longer, that’s why Netflix’s Midnight Mass is a masterpiece, which made up for its ponderous start to deliver a glorious, grandiloquent end. What’s this got to do with Sirai Beach, you ask? […]
