Be mesmerised by the City of Love - Paris, France

Paris, the city of lights, inspiration, art and fashion. The sparkling lights of the Eiffel Tower will leave you breathless. Take a romantic walk down the Seine River, or dine at a sidewalk café. Be inspired by the city and language of love.

Lose yourself in the Wicklow Mountains, Ireland

Indulge your senses in Provence, France

Lavender fields, vineyards, rocky coastlines and ancient cities. This is what the region of Provence has to offer, and so much more. Explore the papal city of Avignon, or discover the island of Porquerolles, there really is something for everyone to fall in love with.

Gaze at the stars in Sedona, Arizona

Watch the magnificent rock formations blaze red in the setting sun, then gaze under the stars in this barren desert wilderness. Sedona sits in sacred Native American land, and continues to be recognised as a place of healing and equal spiritual renewal. Get lost in the many art galleries, go wine tasting in nearby vineyards and tasting rooms, or indulge in soothing spa treatments.

Swim in crystal clear waters in Santorini, Greece

Santorini, the city of blue and white. This spectacular sight is one to behold, and once you visit, you won't want to leave. Swim in the exquisitely clear waters that sit in the middle of a huge active volcano in the middle of the sea, and dine on some of the finest cuisine in the Mediterranean.

Delight in the Cherry Blossom Festival - Kyoto, Japan

Cherry Blossom Festival in Japan is one of the most beautiful festivals to experience, and Kyoto is the place to experience it in! With cherry blossom trees in full bloom, Kyoto celebrates with food and drink, playing games, singing and dancing under blossom-laden branches. Usually the festival is celebrated between March and April, but as the blossoms do not last long, it is best to catch them while you can!
