Time to plan an overdue adventure? As we start a new year, now’s a great time to think about a holiday to mark in your new calendar! After two years of disrupted plans, bookings were taking off for the year ahead – almost on a par with 2019 levels.

Ultraluxurious escapes, wellness retreats and sustainable stays are all in demand, as well as trips a little closer to home. You may have your heart set on somewhere in particular for your next holiday. But if you’re open to ideas, we could suggest a place you haven’t even thought of.
