Archives for November 2022

Remarkably, given the fact that much of the world is going through a post-pandemic economic recovery, new luxury hotels continue to open every day. The following are a few that have caught my eye over the last few weeks:

Atlantis the Royal: The biggest buzz in the travel industry is the opening of this huge hotel in Dubai. This imposing structure will be sure to make its mark on the Dubai skyline. It is visually stunning and ultra-luxurious. With 17 restaurants, a 90-metre rooftop pool and a 5000sq metre wellness centre, this incredible hotel will suit clients who like a busy hotel with lots going on.

Meneghetti Wine Hotel & Winery: In complete contrast, the Meneghetti Wine Hotel & Winery hotel in Croatia is a wonderful new addition for those looking for luxurious simplicity and superb food and wine. The Meneghetti is located on a hilltop village overlooking the Adriatic Coast. Surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, this is a very different Croatian experience and would appeal to clients who want to escape from the world and chill in beautiful surroundings.

Jumeirah Muscat Bay: Jumeirah Hotels have expanded into Oman and the new Jumeirah Muscat Bay has all the glamour one would expect from the hotel group that brought us the iconic Jumeirah Beach Hotel, Dubai.  I stayed in “The Sail” when it was one of just a few hotels in Dubai, with the backdrop of the desert. This new hotel in Muscat reminds me of the days when Dubai was little known and there was a certain magic in gazing at the stars over the vast mass of untouched land beyond the beach.  The Jumeirah Muscat Bay is a serene beach resort, set between the dramatic Al Hajar mountains and the sparkling Arabian Sea. Muscat is easy to reach from the UK and can even be done in a long weekend!

Zoetry Marigot Bay: Over in St Lucia, Zoetry Marigot Bay reopens on 1st December 2022.  I stayed here before it had a complete revamp and can confirm that it stands on a stunning bay with amazing views. The rooms are enormous. It will now be an all-inclusive hotel offering four restaurants, a kids club and a free airport shuttle.

Jolly Beach: Last but not least, I must mention the Jolly Beach, Antigua, an old favourite which is due to reopen after a massive facelift. This lovely four-star hotel has been sorely missed while it has been closed. It is not five-star luxury, but it is great for those seeking a decent hotel on a stunning beach and I think it is perfect for a multi-generational family holiday where clients might need three or four rooms but don’t want to blow the inheritance money! Welcome back!

I think we would all agree that travelling has been a challenge over recent years and I hear from clients that they are more than ready to jump on a plane, any plane, to get away!! But hold on, for those of us who love Luxury Travel, there is a new obstacle rearing its ugly head: AVAILABILITY!

Not only are seats in premium economy, business and even first-class already very tight to key destinations, but many of the luxury hotels are also almost fully booked in the Caribbean. To get around this, try to travel outside the busy school holiday periods such as Easter. For those who are happily retired and flexible on your dates you’ll have more options to consider, with lower fares to be had all year round during quieter times less available for those still working or with families.

The Maldives is looking like a great option for 2023, as British Airways is bringing back its direct flight to Male from March 2023, so the time to book this is right now. Mauritius is another great option, with direct flights, but also an indirect flight on Emirates via Dubai and who wouldn’t want to fly Emirates?

If you are still keen to go to the Caribbean, maybe switch to one of the lesser-known islands, such as St Kitts, Nevis, Dominica, or Grenada. All are different in their own right and offer an authentic Caribbean feel with outstanding scenery. British Airways is also adding a direct flight to Aruba from March 2023! This is such exciting news and long-awaited. It will be a popular route so book our holiday soon!

If you have more time, the Far East is open again and offers great value for money. New luxury hotels are opening up all the time and if you have experienced hotels in the Far East, you will know that they are hard to beat.

Inspired and ready to book your sunny getaway? Lizzi’s luxury offer this week is a 10 night all-inclusive escape in the Maldives at a 5* resort. It’s so exclusive you’ll need to use your included seaplane transfers just to get there! Book now to enjoy an indulgent escape and to watch the sunrise over the Indian Ocean in your very own luxury Jacuzzi Water Villa!

Enjoy a 10 night all-inclusive 5* escape in the Maldives from just £5,795pp! 5* Veligandu Resort is perfect for those looking for a luxurious getaway with its stunning white-sand beaches, lush reefs, incredible service, and luxurious rooms.
