Travel Inspiration

Luxury travel destinations are proving popular for holiday bookings this year, reports The Sunday TimesAfter two years of travel restrictions, we are turning to our bucket lists and long-haul destinations like Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Vietnam and Thailand are proving popular.

If you would welcome some ideas about where to visit, Condé Nast Traveller has put together its Best Holiday Destinations for 2022.  With plenty of choice for the luxury traveller, foodies, culture lovers and for those who want to experience something more off the beaten track, it is full of inspiration. The feature also offers great ‘sustainability tips’ for each destination. 

Egypt, Oslo, New Orleans, Menorca, Central Tanzania, Sierras Chicas, Argentina and Beijing all make it onto the CN Traveller list, and their specialists also recommend Thailand, in particular the Trang archipelago as a great place for a family holiday.  

Located on the southern coast, Condé Nast Traveller says:  “……, the landmasses of the Trang archipelago range in size from double-decker bus to large Channel Island. And with travel disruption acting as a great leveller for Thailand’s multitudinous holiday spots, this go-slow chain of islands is emerging as the perfect antidote to the historically touristy Koh Samui and Phuket.”
