Paradise, pure and simple

Want to enjoy Richard Branson’s lifestyle without having his money? Well it’s possible, for a time, on Necker Island. Necker is quite simply one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been, and far and away the most relaxing.

A range of packages are available, from hiring one of the beautiful Bali houses to taking over the entire island. Staff are on hand but incredibly discrete, friendly and helpful (who wouldn’t be friendly living here!) and while prices range from thousands per night for bali house to tens of thousands for the main lodge it’s worth every penny. Highly recommended.

The Best View In Paris?

The very first night of my year-long holiday was spent in Paris, at L’Hotel De Sers, just off the Champs Elysées, It’s a gorgeous hotel in a perfect location, and it took real effort to tear myself away to explore Paris for the evening. A fine meal and a one walk later I returned to De Sers, to experience the only black mark I could give them for my visit. €70 for a double whiskey! And we’re not talking a 40 year old single malt here, this was the house whiskey. Truly ridiculous and that kind of thing can leave a really bad taste in the mouth.

All was forgiven in the morning, however. How could you hate anywhere where you wake up to this:
