The world through Instagram-filtered glasses.

What happens when acclaimed hotelier Alan Faena, filmmaker Baz Luhrmann and his Oscar-winning costume designer wife Catherine Martin get together to design a hotel? In a word: magic. Picture plush red furnishings, gold-dipped sculptures and exquisite Art Deco details. It may feel like you’re in another world, but when you’re ready to come back to earth, just take a couple of steps to land on Miami Beach.

Come for the wellness programs, stay for the wine and cheese. @lilyofthevalleyhotel, balanced on a hilltop overlooking the beaches of Gigaro, toes the line between health retreat and sun-soaked St Tropez resort, managing to infuse joy into wellness and weight loss. Whether you want to stretch out with daily yoga classes or just stretch out by the pool, you’re sure to leave this Starck-designed hideaway feeling fantastic.

The @burjalarab takes luxury, amenities and hospitality to all new heights – literally. An architectural icon of the Dubai skyline, this soaring hotel sits on its own private island and offers a level of service that’s revered around the world. Indulge in some seriously relaxing treatments at the two-storey spa, or chill out by the saltwater infinity pool with more sunbeds than you can shake a daquiri at (head to the swim up bar for one of those).

Grab the sunscreen and your woolly hat – it’s summer in #Antarctica! The season is in full swing, and while the frozen continent may not be at the top of sun seeker’s lists, where else in the world are you guaranteed 24 hours of daylight? 😌⁠

⁠ When you join our 11-day Best of Antarctica expedition on board the Ocean Endeavour, you’ll cross the famous Drake Passage, explore ice-filled waters on Zodiac excursions, set foot on the Antarctic Peninsula and learn from your expert expedition team.⁠

⁠ Experience wildlife and scenery unlike anywhere else on Earth and leave with mind-blowing memories that give you chills

We’ll be real with you – climbing Mt Kilimanjaro is no easy feat. Reaching the summit of Africa’s tallest peak takes a little preparation and a whole lot of determination, but we promise it’s oh-so worth it. ⁠

⁠ When you join our 8-day #Kilimanjaro: Marangu Route adventure, we’ll take care of the details so you can focus on the climb in front of you. You’ll have a team of porters, one guide for every two passengers and mountain huts along the way. ⁠

So what makes it so rewarding? Hiking through forests and alpine meadows, over rocky ravines and past lunar landscapes is pretty incredible, but standing at the summit looking over the plains of Tanzania just can’t be topped. ⁠

Is there anything better than a European summer getaway? ☀️⁠

⁠Forget all-inclusive resort stays and scrambling for sun loungers. Think wine tasting in central #Italy on our 10-day Italy Experience trip, cycling through olive groves in #Provence with your group on our 8-day Cycle Provence, and cooking cocido lebaniego on our 10-day Northern #Spain Real Food Adventure.⁠

⁠Swipe through to crack open Europe’s treasure chest of incredible food, wine, and weather for a summer to rival all others.
