The Self Improver

The Self-Improver

For you it is not enough to simply visit a destination; instead you see travel as a way to better yourself. Whether you view holidays as a chance to learn new skills, tap into your creativity or improve your state of mind on a wellness inspired getaway, allow us to introduce experiences that will positively impact your life, even upon your return home.

Jet set glow

Start your journey to a happier, healthier version of you at the serene Six Senses Kaplankaya, Turkey. The celebrated Six Senses spa, with its salt grottos and steamy hammams, uses a mixture of high-tech science and high-touch therapy through a range of personalised programmes which focus on obtaining optimum well-being, sleep, mindfulness and nutrition.

Game set match

Few resorts have world-class tennis facilities and programmes as comprehensive as Curtain Bluff in Antigua. Enthusiasts, both novice and advanced alike, will find three resident professionals available for private lessons to help work on that backhand or even challenge guests to a game. Recover in The Spa; relaxed muscles will help improve your game.

A cultural awakening

Those looking for a more engaging and educational way to experience Balinese culture would do well to consider a stay at Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay. The onsite Ganesha Cultural Centre invites you to not only observe but also participate in culture-rich activities such as Balinese arts, crafts, traditional ceremonies, and music.

Dive right in

The breathtaking reefs and mesmerising marine life of the Maldives is inspiration enough to plunge underwater. Whether you are a beginner wanting to learn how to scuba dive or a professional seeking out new aquatic observations, join a team of PADI professionals at One&Only Reethi Rah for guided dives encountering sharks, stingrays and turtles.

Beyond the slopes

If the thrill of the slopes is not quite enough, imagine learning a language in a private lesson on the piste. In the Alpine village of Verbier, the qualified teachers at VLS offer instruction in both skiing and language, helping you to make the most of your stay. Perfect your favourite language, practicing conversation on the chairlift, or as you enjoy après-ski at the Uber-chic W Verbier.
