Maradiva Villas Resort & Spa in Mauritius, starting at EUR 650 per night, keeps appearing in that conversation. Gulf and Arabic-speaking visitors planning a stay at this level tend to research every line of discretionary … [Read more...]

The Best Rural Retreats and Cultural Escapes in the UK and Ireland

June 17, 2026 by Penny LomasLeave a Comment

Some of the best memories from the UK and Ireland come from places that barely appear in guidebooks. A quiet harbour at the end of a winding road, a country pub filled with locals on a rainy afternoon, or a walking path connecting villages across open farmland often leaves a stronger impression than a famous attraction. The places below are full of rural areas where the landscape still shapes daily life. In the Highlands, mountains and lochs … [Read more...]

A Night in Ontario – What to Do and Where to Go

May 29, 2026 by Una RobertsLeave a Comment

A lot of people visiting Ontario focus on daytime attractions, but really some places are even better after dark. The skyline looks better, the streets feel more alive, and even simple things like grabbing food or walking around downtown feel different. If gaming is part of your trip, Ontario has plenty going on there too, and you will find all your favourite games like what you find online at Swiper Ontario and all the top gaming sites, while … [Read more...]

Painting My Way Through Portugal With a Travel Watercolor Kit

May 21, 2026 by Jim ReedLeave a Comment

The cafe owner set down a tiny cup of espresso and said something in Portuguese I did not quite catch. I smiled, nodded, and turned back to my sketchbook. Across the narrow street in Lisbon's Alfama district, a woman was hanging laundry from a wrought iron balcony, and the morning light was doing something to the yellowed tiles on the building behind her that I knew a phone camera would never get right. So I painted it instead. I have … [Read more...]

Malta Beyond the Postcard: Why This Tiny Island Deserves a Full Week

May 20, 2026 by JohnTLeave a Comment

Coffee on the beach in golden bay, Malta

Malta is a small island but it has probably the highest density of things to see and do per square kilometre of anywhere I've been. I know that sounds like a brochure. It's not. You can drive across the main island in about 45 minutes. Most visitors give it a day or two, usually on a cruise ship stop — they walk around Valletta, take a photo of the harbour, and leave, which means they miss almost everything. Give Malta a week and you'll see what … [Read more...]

Majestic Siargao

May 15, 2026 by Junfil OlarteLeave a Comment

The morning sun pierces through palm fronds as I stand at the edge of Cloud 9, Siargao's legendary surf break. The wooden boardwalk stretches before me like a runway to paradise, leading to the three-story viewing deck where photographers and tourists gather to witness surfers dance with the waves. The Pacific Ocean swells roll in with clockwork precision, each one transforming into perfect barrels that have made this tiny Philippine island a … [Read more...]

Apayao: Whispers of the Northern Frontier

May 10, 2026 by Junfil OlarteLeave a Comment

The morning fog clung to the emerald mountains like a lover reluctant to leave. Our jeepney lurched forward on the winding road, and I steadied myself against the metal frame, my knuckles white with anticipation. The province of Apayao had long been a blank space on my mental map of the Philippines—a remote northern frontier that even many Filipinos know little about. This obscurity is precisely what drew me here, to the northernmost reaches of … [Read more...]
