Just the mention of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef would attract a lot of nature lovers out there. It has been declared to be one of the 7 natural wonders of the world. This kind of natural beauty needs to be explored but it would be fantastic if one is to stay in one of the most luxurious and beautiful resort hotel in the world just like the Hayman Island Resort Hotel Gold Coast.

Since the hotel is strategically located in one of the most wonderful places on earth, naturally, the hotel itself is magnificently designed and structured. Just look at this aerial view of the area and tell me if you are not picturing yourself sipping a cocktail under the sun.

The resort has white sandy beach with a coral reef that can be seen when it is low tide surrounding it is a vast color of blue which is the shimmering waters of the Pacific Ocean. There are several ways to explore the Great Barrier Reef under the water or high up in the sky. You can do it by snorkeling or a chopper ride or join one of the seaplane adventures. Another laidback way to do it is by sailing. They can be arranged; you can go by group or charter the transport for your private use.

If by any chance, you had your fill already of the Great Barrier Reef you can either pursue some other water sports that the Hayman Island Resort Hotel is offering or pamper yourself and avail of the various Spa treatments in the Hayman Spa center.

However, if you are on a food trip, you are in the right place since the Hayman Island Resort Hotel Gold Coast has around 8 dining options. From the gourmet picnic style menu or enjoy meals on the Beach Pavilion or if you want the romantic candlelight dinner for two, you can arrange it with the hotel’s fine restaurant called Azure.

As in any luxurious resort, you have the choice of different accommodations such as private villas, suites and penthouses. Those who wanted more privacy, I suggest you book the beach private villas because it will give you around 90 sq m of total privacy but if you want the opulent hotel setting, get the penthouse. If you are in a budget, then the guestrooms are just as beautiful since all of them have a breathtaking view of the gardens and the ocean.

Expect it to be a little expensive since it is indeed one of the most luxurious hotels in the Gold Coast, Australia.

The exotic Balearic Island in Ibiza, Spain is one attractive place to go to and just celebrate anything positive in your life or rejuvenate for a few days.

There are plenty of places to stay in but nothing beats a luxurious contemporary private villa like the one in Las Nubes which is located halfway across the mountaintop. You need not worry; it can be reached by a car. No hiking for you if you are not in the mood. A secured electric gate will welcome you which only means that what is behind that fence is a wonderful special place to relax and party.

It has a huge pool with a barbecue area large enough to have a party for 12. Enjoy the white boutique style stone villa which is surrounded by pine trees. During peak season expect the bill to reach around €25,000 for a week stay. However, if you are planning to go this August, book early because you can have the place at a low price of €15,000. Book via Mr. and Mrs Smith.

Las Nubes promised a stay of tranquility and privacy as guests can have the surroundings all to themselves. There is a combination of nature and modern conveniences at your own disposal. It has the coziness of a family home without the clutter. The grounds are breathtaking as you can have a vineyard to yourself and several fruit bearing trees around you.

The views of the sunset is perfect from the location and it would doubly enjoyable if you can arrange for a picnic somewhere in the grounds of the villa with the concierge service. However, if you want a swim in the sea, there is a beach near the place. There’s a lot of water related sport actitivies available as well. If you are into golf or tennis, you can play a match or two. Arrangements can be made.

I doubt that you will have the will to get out of the house after a week’s stay. You’d wish you booked for a month. Las Nubes has that effect on every guest they had. It is a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of the metropolis.

A luxurious vacation in a luxurious villa. Your thoughts of Spain will never be the same after staying in Ibiza.

There is no greater Valentine’s Day vacation for a couple than going to a small romantic island and stay in a luxurious resort just like in the Kaya Mawa Lodge in Malawi, Africa.

It is an island where most of the things you’ll find in the local community were built by hand since there were no machineries available back when it was being established. It does have the aura of stepping back in the past.

However, the Kaya Mawa Lodge is fully equipped to make its guests’ stay comfortable and memorable. It offers 10 cottages with four poster beds and sunken marble baths with breathtaking ocean views. One of their main highlights is the honeymoon cottage which is strategically located somewhere quite private and could only be reached through wooden bridge built over the waters or by a boat.

The Lodge is a great place to have that second honeymoon away from the usual city sounds. It is like being in your own private island. However, if you are into water activities, there are plenty to choose from such as scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing, sailing and swimming.

It is easy to get to the resort. The Kaya Mawa Lodge is situated in Likoma Island somewhere in Lake Malawi. The island has an airstrip if you want to go there by plane or you can take the ferry.

Prices are reasonable and quite competitive compared to other lakeside resorts. Just take a look at the photos and I do not think you will be thinking anymore of the price tags.

Fiji has always been known to be a place where nature is the main attraction. Most of the areas are still left untouched by men and so you would see animals in their natural habitat and to those who are fascinated with flowers and plants, it is an incredible oasis. Imagine seeing a diversity of orchids in their natural surrounding.

To be able to fully enjoy the beauty of the island, Beqa Lagoon Resort offers deluxe bures or villas with large bedrooms or mini-suites. Some of them are placed along the shoreline and there are those who are quite hidden in the garden to give more privacy to those who needs it.

If you think you had enough of sand and water and wants a different way of spending a quiet, quaint, romantic weekend with someone you love, Florence is the best city to go to.

What city can you name that can proudly say that it was once regarded as home of four of the greatest masters in art such Rembrandt, Da Vinci, Dante and Michaelangelo? And when you get there, you would get the feeling that you had already seen most of the favorite landmarks of the city. Most of them were used in films. Directors and producers love to shoot their movies in the city.

If those four masters lived there, it only means that they would probably have some of the most interesting and diverse art galleries. Not to mention priceless antiques.

The city can be explored by foot and so that would mean, you get to see everything, to the small restaurants to huge ones. You’ll find yourself immersed in their culture. Florence is quiet, classic yet very stylish. You would think that women there just came from the fashion runway.

By the way, when you plan to visit a beautiful city like Florence, you need to stay in one of the best hotels in the area and that would be Del Moro Residenza Hotel Florence. It location is its best feature as it can be found in the heart of Florence. It is quite a historical establishment built way back in the 1500. The hotel alone represents the art and culture of Florence.

Imagine authentic 16th century palazzo with frescoes, rooftop gardens, suites designed with priceless antique furniture combined with high tech gadgets that makes our lives easier.

The classic Tuscany way of living can be found in Del Moro Residenza Hotel. However, since it is a luxurious hotel, price for a night stay is quite expensive but worthy of its value.
