Kuala Lumpur
Occupying an almost indistinct location near the centre of Peninsular Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur is an Asian super city where the soaring skyscrapers and ritzy shopping malls are often outshined by the aromatic street foods and Malaysian cultural curiosities. KL, as it is often referred to by locals, has its fair share of must-see attractions too. The Petronas Twin Towers are high on everyone’s must-see list, but just as impressive is the Jamek Mosque, just a few minutes away. There is also a great range of museums and galleries to keep the culture lovers happy. This city has attractions for every taste.
One of the most fascinating cities in the world that will capture you as soon as you arrive. This sprawling metropolis boasts amazing food, stunning skyscrapers, and some of the most amazing shopping around. Whether you’re after a luxury holiday with spa pampering and other delights or an adventure holiday exploring the city’s enigmatic history, buzzing streetscapes and cultural idiosyncrasies, Hong Kong has much to offer everyone. Enjoy the sophistication of the west with the charm of the East, take a tram to Victoria Peak (best time to visit is near dusk) or head to Macau on a high-speed ferry.
This is a city of true contrasts, old vs new and has to be seen to be believed. A bustling hub of activity, breath-taking architecture, stunning beach resorts and a haven for nightlife, this extravagant destination is for those who enjoy opulence. Dubai is famous around the world as being extremely extravagant, and when you arrive and see it for yourself, you’ll realise there just aren’t the words to do it justice. Indulge at some of the best malls in the world where you’re spoilt for choice, sit back, and relax on the beach or adventure out into the desert dunes.
Break your journey at this popular U.S city so you can rub shoulders with the stars. Go window shopping on Rodeo Drive, spend a family day out at the Universal Studios or spend a relaxing afternoon at the beautiful Huntington Gardens. There are the tourist traps that lure in even the most discerning of travellers, but that keep everyone entertained, such as the Hollywood sign and Sunset Boulevard. And then there are the beaches – Venice, Malibu and Santa Monica all provide a gorgeous sandy setting to your days.
The Cook Islands are a uniquely wonderful collection of 15 small islands in the South Pacific Ocean. Soon after landing in Rarotonga, you can be kayaking on the crystalclear lagoon, sipping on your first cocktail or relaxing poolside at your beautiful resort. Rarotonga, the hub of the Cook Islands, has so much to see and do, yet remains unspoilt. No traffic lights, no McDonald’s, and no building taller than the highest coconut tree. After Rarotonga, Aitutaki is the second most visited island in the Cook Islands. Secluded and romantic, it holds a compelling allure for honeymooners, many of whom choose this haven for the duration of their stay. You can look forward to languid, leisurely days simply reveling in each other’s company and the jaw-dropping surroundings. Work on your suntan lazing under a coconut palm, relax with a massage or explore the island by cycle or motor-scooter.
