Seychelles
Surrounded by nature and named after the unique Coco de Mer palm trees dotted around the property, the Coco De Mer Hotel & Black Parrot Suites offer modern, four-star accommodation in over 200 acres of natural beauty. The hotel is flanked by several small beaches which form part of the large bay at Anse Bois de Rose, and there are guided walks so you can discover the wildlife of Praslin, including Black Parrots, turtles, and tropical fruit bats.
"I particularly liked the Coco De Mer which was a small boutique hotel, the staff were exceptionally friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were spacious with a contemporary feel. One of the amazing features is an over water platform with areas for lounging and relaxing"

When most people think of Thailand, they picture the dry, busy months - the packed beaches, the long queues at temples, the peak-season prices. But, outside of these peak months, Thailand’s green season reveals a softer, more atmospheric side of the country. The landscapes deepen in colour, the pace eases, and familiar places begin to feel more spacious, from temple courtyards and hillside trails to palm-fringed beaches.
Choosing where to stay can completely change the feel of an Algarve holiday. Beyond the region’s larger resorts, there are whitewashed villas overlooking the Atlantic, converted village houses in the countryside, intimate design hotels, and peaceful coastal retreats. From the fishing village of Salema to the quieter landscapes around Vila do Bispo and Lagos, these four stays each offer their own take on southern Portugal, whether you want the freedom of a villa, easy access to the beach, or somewhere small and characterful to come back to after a day exploring.
