Stay on the Galapagos Islands
Visiting the Galapagos Islands is a bucket list favourite for many and to get most out of your time here, a stay on one of the islands is a must! We recommend staying at Iguana Crossing Boutique Hotel, a beachfront hotel, which is aptly named after the “Iguana passing” path, the best place for a Galapagos experience! If you’re looking for a white sandy beach, you will find this on Totuga Bay on Puerto Ayora, alternatively on Isla Santa Cruz you can marvel at the incredible giant tortoises at the El Chato Tortoise Reserve!

Some of the most top sights near Machu Picchu include the Huayna Picchu, a breathtaking mountain that soars over the Machu Picchu, also known as the ‘Lost City’. The Temples of the Three Windows is also not to be missed, this ancient stone temple can be found at Machu Picchu and is renowned for its 3 windows made from stone. If you’re looking to explore Machu Picchu thoroughly, we recommend staying at Belmond Sanctuary Lodge, which is conveniently located adjacent to the Inca citadel entrance to Machu Picchu!

Guests can feed them special giraffe treats whilst dining in luxury…
See the Northern Lights in a Glass Igloo
The aurora borealis are on the bucket list of many, this spectacular phenomenon is the reason why many of us flock to Scandinavia, but to make your experience that much more special, we recommend a stay in an igloo, which is an experience within itself where you can indulge in stargazing at your own pace in the comforts of your igloo abode. Santa’s Igloos Arctic Circle is a top choice for many, situated in the Arctic Circle in Rovaniemi, and Santa Claus Village is just a stone’s throw away, you can turn your holiday into a festive wonderland trip of a lifetime!
Dine underwater with the fishes
The Maldives is a destination made for special occasions, whether it’s celebrating the beginning of your marriage in absolute paradise, toasting a big birthday milestone or treating your loved ones to truly memorable moments that will be cherished forever. Each island in the Maldives is different and offers distinctive features, our top Maldives island resort for creating those WOW moments has to be Hurawalhi. This fairly new island is reserved for adults only, with beautiful villa accommodations placed on the white pristine beach or poised over the lush lagoon.
Stay in a Treehouse
If time away from your phone and time spend with loved ones is more on your agenda for 2018, then a holiday at the newly appointed Treehouse Villas on the pristine island of Khao Yao Noi is just the escape you need. Designed for adults only, this luxury resort is set amongst lush jungle with canopy walkways and beautifully designed villas, each with its own pool, private dining facility, personal bar with complimentary drinks and unbelievably beautiful views out to sea and the ancient Jurassic massifs of Phang Nga Bay.
Ride a hot air balloon over Cappadocia
The captivating landscapes of Cappadocia are a sight to behold, especially towering above in a hot air balloon – it’s one of the most must-do excursions in the area! Make sure to bring along your camera, as you go past spectacular sceneries of the fairy chimneys, scattered valleys, and pigeon houses, and over orchard and vineyards.
Sky dive in Dubai
For those seeking more than a ‘little’ adrenaline in 2018 a sky dive over Dubai’s renowned sights might just do the trick! Sky Dive Dubai is the place to do it, you’ll take in breath taking bird’s eye views of the Palm Jumeirah and surrounding areas, plunging from 13,0000 feet!
