We are living in a society where from the moment we wake up, we feel the need to check our mobile phones to check our messages and notifications, to look at our social media accounts, and to read our emails and newsfeeds.

Lchang Nang Retreat
There is undoubtedly something truly magical about Ladakh. This land of the high mountain passes is situated in one of the most stunning parts of the Indian Himalayas. North of Leh, Ladakh’s capital, nestles the Nubra Valley, a region cradled by rugged mountains that has an almost otherworldly beauty. Hidden within this most spectacular Himalayan landscape, lies a piece of heaven called Lchang Nang, ‘The House of Trees’. Just as its name suggests, Lchang Nang is set amidst trees.

Le Passe-Temps
One of coastal Thailand’s best kept secrets? We think so. Le Passe Temps is at once remote without being lost, yet right in the middle of some of Krabi’s must-see spots. Nestled in Thailand’s picture postcard perfect scenery of Ao Phang Nga, regarded as one of the most beautiful bays in South East Asia, this warm convivial resort is as much about the atmosphere that has been masterfully created by the team and owners here, as it is about the incredible scenery on the property’s doorstep. Truly a place where one arrives as a stranger and leaves as a friend, this is hospitality at its best where the phrase ‘your home from home’ is a perfect fit. The garden and the... [ Read More]
