From his favourite places to new initiatives, Charitable Traveller speaks to Zoëtry Marigot Bay's director of sales, Alisteer Nelson, about what makes the hotel so special.

What attracted you to joining Zoëtry Marigot Bay?

I’ve been with this gem of a property for two teats and was grasped by its uniqueness. Being situated on a marina yet tucked away in the hills really makes Zoëtry Marigot Bay stand out. The lushness, wooden architecture, flora, and fauna all stimulate a sense of Zen and make it a sought-after fairy tale.

History and heritage is a big part of Zoëtry Marigot Bay – what does that mean for you personally?

As a Jamaican moving to St. Lucia, I have personally experienced the island’s rich history and culture, which is deeply rooted in the resort through its bespoke experiences. For example, the Cooking Class is one that awakens your taste buds to the flavours of the island’s local dishes. Or learn about the nostalgic stories of our founding father’s journey, Walter Boudreau – the mast of his boat is at the entrance of our fine dining restaurant 1461.

How does that history and heritage impact the guests?

Each guest travels to feel a sense of purpose and to understand the heritage and culture of the destination. Bringing the experiences of the past to the present leaves a mark on our clients as they relive days gone by – imagine, for example, indulging in an Indigenous Spa Treatment in a spa cabin that resembles an abode of our ancestors; this experience will forever be etched in the minds of our guests.

Zoëtry is committed to preserving the environment – can you give some examples of what that looks like for your guests?

A palatable adventure greets all our guests here at the resort. Our executive chef (a native of France) uses the freshest farm produce and practises the farm-to-table concept, starting with the organic herb garden on-site. Irrigation is carefully managed through recycling and contributes significantly to the hotel’s ecological tapestry, which guests can enjoy on daily botanical walks.

What plans and developments are on the horizon for Zoëtry?

Nestled in nature on a marina, Zoëtry Marigot Bay is rich in culture and has diverse offerings to make it unique and etch it in the memories of our guests. Through our relaxation journey, each guest returns home with a balanced state of being, and the resort is currently focusing on its in-suite chef’s table dining
experiences and locale beach experience, which involve a beach concierge service, dedicated beach relaxation services, and a mix and mingle atmosphere at DoLittles restaurant and bar, named after the 1967 Doctor Dolittle film shot in the bay. Plus, the resort continues to develop its curated offerings, and spa and nature lovers can look forward to two new experiences opening this autumn featuring the Sulphur Springs in Soufrière.

Lastly, where's your favourite part of the hotel, and why?

The Hurricane Hole is my happy place. Down on the water’s edge, the bar offers the most relaxing atmosphere as you dine with a view of the tranquil Caribbean waters.

What is your idea of a great Christmas holiday? If you are tired of spending Christmas at home, just want a break for a change or to get away from the commercialism of Christmas, there are plenty of options, subject to availability.

Maybe you would like to travel to Lapland with the family, pre-Christmas and see Father Christmas in his own home? I can vouch for this experience. I took my children when they were quite young, and I think they actually believed they had seen the real thing for at least ten years afterwards. I have to say the Father Christmas we saw was very convincing! Be careful who you choose for this experience. You want it to be magical. I can guide you.

Speaking of magical, what could be more so than seeing the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Disneyland Florida, complete with fake snow? Ask me about the best luxury hotels and villas to stay in. Disney at Christmas is so exciting!

Maybe you fancy staying in an ice hotel or an Arctic spa retreat? With the snow all around you, you stay all snug under your eiderdown and watch the magical display of stars in the night sky. I recommend the Arctic Retreat and the Arctic Bath. Superb luxury properties you will be amazed by.

If all this talk of snow is making you shiver, perhaps a week or so in the sunshine might be for you. The Caribbean will already be heavily booked up, but ask me if you fancy a luxury break there, or maybe the Maldives, Mauritius, or the Middle East?

One of my very favourite hotels in the Maldives has had a face-lift and is about to re-open. Huvafen Fushi was already fabulous when I stayed there, but all 44 bungalows will be fully refurbished in a new modern style using local materials where possible. The villas are very spacious, with wonderful outdoor bathrooms. Huvafen Fushi is also building two new two-bedroom Ocean Pavillions with uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean. The hotel is due to reopen on 01 October and I have a special offer including 35% off accommodation!

So, however you wish to spend your luxury Christmas holidays, do get in touch and ask me for recommendations.

Reading and Leeds Festival is happening this weekend, and as the last of the British summer music festivals kicks off, we’re starting to plan our festival travel for 2024.

Music festivals are a vibrant and exhilarating celebration of art, culture, and the universal language of music. From the pulsating beats of electronic dance music to the soulful melodies of rock and indie, these events bring people from all corners of the world together for a shared experience like no other. Here’s a rundown of five of the most captivating music festivals that have graced the global stage:

1. Coachella (California, USA)

Coachella is a two-week testament to creativity and diversity, showcases a wide range of musical genres, world class acts, awe-inspiring art installations, and iconic fashion inspiration. Held in the Coachella Valley in California every April, this iconic festival has become a cultural phenomenon that attracts music enthusiasts, influencers, celebrities, and art aficionados alike.

2. Glastonbury (Somerset, UK)

Iconic Glasto is more than just a music festival; it’s a kaleidoscope of contemporary performing arts, transformative experiences, and world-class acts. The festival takes place in June and is a pilgrimage for music lovers. Every year a portion of ticket sales to Glastonbury is donated to various charities including Oxfam, Greenpeace, WaterAid and hundreds of other worthy causes (£2m given annually in recent years), and to improving the festivals infrastructure and environmental impact.
Registration for 2024 is now open!

3. Tomorrowland (Boom, Belgium)

Prepare to be transported to a realm of enchantment at Tomorrowland. Known for its immersive stage designs and electrifying EDM lineup, this July event in Belgium is a fantasyland where music and magic intertwine. Tomorrowland takes place in the town of Boom, situated in the picturesque De Schorre recreation area, just outside of Brussels. The festival grounds are transformed into a whimsical wonderland, with each stage offering a different thematic experience. From enchanting forests to futuristic landscapes, the stages are designed to transport attendees to another world. An absolute must-visit for any EDM fan.

4. Lollapalooza (Various Locations)

Lollapalooza has evolved from a Chicago-based festival to an international phenomenon with editions in multiple cities worldwide. This festival offers a diverse array of musical genres, ensuring there’s something for everyone.

In January 2024 Lollapalooza will be taking place at the Mahalakshmi Racecourse in Mumbai, tickets are on sale now.

5. Burning Man (Nevada, USA)

Burning Man is more than just a music festival; it’s a unique and vibrant experiment in community, self-expression, art, and radical self-reliance. The event’s main principles are guided by the Ten Principles, which include concepts like radical inclusion, communal effort, gifting, and leaving no trace.

At Burning Man, participants come together to create a temporary city known as Black Rock City. This city is built from scratch in the desert and is designed to be a self-sustaining and self-reliant community. The event typically spans a week and culminates with the symbolic burning of a large wooden effigy, known as “The Man,” hence the name “Burning Man.”

The end of the summer school holidays is soon upon us, and you may already be thinking about Christmas and beyond. If you are planning a ski holiday, the best time to book this is now, for two main reasons:

Availability: If you are skiing in Europe, you will be relying on low-cost airlines and these seats sell out fast. If you are a large family or group of family or friends, all the more reason to secure those airlines seats now. Of course, I am bound to remind you that booking a package holiday is the safest bet, as airlines tend to cancel or change their flight schedules and you don’t want to be left with a very expensive hotel or chalet booking and no way of getting there!

Cost: I’m sure I don’t need to remind you that the best prices are to be had by booking in advance. Fares go up these days, not down and those last-minute bargains are probably a thing of the past.

For luxury bookings, the obvious European ski resorts are Val d’Isere, Courchevel, Verbier, Val Thorens, Megeve, but there are other little gems that are lesser known, so please ask me. These days, luxury hotels you will have heard of, such as Six Senses, W, Four Seasons, the Chedi and Relais & Chateaux have all moved into the ski resorts but there are also new names, such as the K2 Chogori just outside Val D’Isere and Shemshak Lodge, Courchevel. Wonderful spas and Michelin-star restaurants are all on offer these days. Even non-skiers will have a fantastic experience at any of these hotels.

In addition, there are the traditional luxury hotels which have been catering for discerning skiers for decades. Some you will have heard of or stayed in, but some may be waiting for you to discover. Ski apartments have also come a long way, and these are often a good choice for families. Many now have swimming pools, some indoor and outdoor and some apartments have private Jacuzzis, games rooms and cinema rooms. Then there are the catered chalets, may with baby and childcare facilities.

Further afield and if you have the time, the USA and Canada offer wide, open pistes and a high standard of accommodation. You’ve probably heard of Aspen and Utah, but again, there are lesser-known resorts and experiences, from staying in a cowboy town to the chocolate box inns of New England. I particularly like Stowe, Vermont. Magical at night with all the twinkling fairy lights. Facilities for the children are excellent in North America and ski schools tend to be really fun.

I’d like to give a special mention to the new Hotel Montafon in Austria which is quite unlike anything I have come across and really exceptional! It has incredible facilities for the kids, including a bouncy castle and slide to the lower level as you enter the lobby! In addition, this is a super eco-hotel, so I particularly like that! Here are some hotel facts:

-It’s the only 5* Leading Hotel of the World family hotel in German-speaking countries

-Children are already included in the room rate

-It is a climate-neutral hotel running sustainably in line with net zero

-There is a half-board plus option with innovative “Via Alpina” cuisine

-It features exciting architecture by star architects Snohetta Studio Innsbruck and Vudafieri Saverino Partners Milan

-It’s located 1,000m above sea level on the Erlebnisberg Golm

-Family rooms are designed with plenty of space from 43 sq.m upwards

-The hotel includes age-appropriate play areas including a Science Lab & Camp Room

-The hotel features a family Ecotainment concept based on “Ranger Programmes”

-Acquapura Organic SPA with separate Adults-Only SPA

Get in touch today to book your stay at this phenomenal hotel.

Prices start from £5,585 for a family of 4 including;

-Breakfast, Dinner & “Jause” (late lunch)

-EasyJet to Innsbruck flights including bags and seats

-Private return transfers

-And of course 7 nights of luxurious accommodation from the 13-20th of December 2023.

Embark on a thrilling adventure into the heart of animal conservation as we unveil the top five destinations that promise a transformative experience for both wildlife enthusiasts and nature advocates alike.

Join us on this journey of discovery as we delve into the tireless efforts of these five remarkable countries to protect and cherish their wildlife, fostering a shared passion for conservation that resonates with the core of our humanity.

1. Borneo

Borneo, the verdant gem of Southeast Asia, stands as an unparalleled beacon of hope for animal conservation. Nestled among its lush rainforests and biodiverse landscapes lies a sanctuary for some of the world’s most endangered species. Here, the plight of the majestic orangutans takes centre stage, with dedicated conservation projects and sanctuaries working tirelessly to rehabilitate and protect these iconic primates. Borneo’s remarkable conservation efforts extend beyond orangutans, encompassing a myriad of wildlife, including pygmy elephants, proboscis monkeys, and sun bears, all of which thrive under the watchful eyes of passionate conservationists. Embrace the awe-inspiring encounters with nature’s finest, and witness firsthand the remarkable synergy between humans and wildlife that breathes life into Borneo’s noble conservation legacy.

2. Costa Rica

Costa Rica, a small but mighty Central American nation, has earned its well-deserved reputation as a leading champion of animal conservation. This tropical paradise boasts an astonishing biodiversity that has captivated the hearts of nature enthusiasts and scientists alike.

3. Malawi

Nestled in the heart of Africa, Malawi might be one of the lesser-known destinations for animal conservation, but its dedication to protecting its wildlife is nothing short of remarkable. This landlocked nation boasts an array of diverse ecosystems, including the stunning Lake Malawi, which harbours a rich aquatic life found nowhere else on Earth. Malawi has made significant strides in safeguarding its wildlife, particularly its iconic African elephants, rhinos, and lions. Visitors to this hidden gem have the unique opportunity to participate in community-based conservation initiatives, supporting local efforts to combat poaching and promote sustainable living alongside the magnificent creatures that call Malawi home. Immerse yourself in the beauty of Malawi’s untamed wilderness and contribute to the ongoing success of its animal conservation endeavours, leaving a lasting impact on the preservation of Africa’s extraordinary wildlife heritage.

4. Thailand

Thailand, a captivating land of ancient traditions and vibrant culture, is also a haven for animal conservation efforts that resonate with the soul. Amidst its bustling cities and idyllic landscapes, lies a commitment to protecting the country’s extraordinary wildlife. From the lush forests of the north to the stunning coastal regions in the south, Thailand is home to a diverse array of species, including Asian elephants, tigers, gibbons, and marine life in its surrounding waters. Several reputable sanctuaries and rescue centres across the country focus on providing ethical experiences for visitors, emphasising observation and education over exploitation. By choosing responsible wildlife encounters and supporting reputable organisations, visitors become vital partners in Thailand’s ongoing mission to protect and preserve its precious fauna. Engaging with this noble cause amidst Thailand’s enchanting scenery promises a transformative journey, leaving behind a legacy of conservation and compassion for the world’s remarkable wildlife.

5. Uganda

Uganda, the Pearl of Africa, beckons adventurers with its breathtaking landscapes and a thriving commitment to animal conservation. This East African nation is a wildlife enthusiast’s paradise, teeming with an incredible variety of species that call its national parks and reserves home. From the iconic mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park to the majestic lions, elephants, and hippos of Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda offers awe-inspiring encounters with some of the world’s most remarkable creatures. The country’s dedicated efforts in protecting its wildlife are evident through community-based initiatives that promote sustainable practices and eco-friendly tourism. Engaging in responsible wildlife experiences in Uganda not only allows visitors to forge a profound connection with nature but also contributes directly to the preservation of its precious ecosystems and the flourishing animal kingdom within.

As you ascend to higher elevations, you’ll be awestruck by the awe-inspiring vistas of glacial lakes, ancient glaciers, and dense forests that stretch as far as the eye can see. The road’s name is inspired by the sun’s rays that seemingly touch the mountain peaks at sunrise and sunset, creating a celestial spectacle.

Along the route, wildlife enthusiasts will be delighted by the chance to spot bighorn sheep, mountain goats, and perhaps even grizzly bears roaming freely in their natural habitat.

The Going-to-the-Sun Road is an experience that captures the essence of untamed wilderness and reminds us of the preciousness of these unspoiled landscapes, making it a must-visit destination for any avid road tripper and nature lover.

So, the school summer holidays have begun and the weather has taken a turn for the worse. I hope August improves for those of you who are staying in the UK this summer.

Whether you are staying put or not, you may be thinking about an October half term holiday with the family. Now is definitely the time to be booking this, as well as thinking about Christmas and ski holidays. Yes, I’m afraid so!

Let’s start with October. You probably don’t immediately think about the Caribbean for October, but there are lots of islands that avoid possible hurricanes, so I wouldn’t rule them out. Prices are good in October and you’ll more than likely have plenty of sunshine.

Where else could you go? Dubai and all the other emirates, such as Ras al Khaimah, Ajman, Fujairah, as well as Oman and Abu Dhabi. All great choices for families, with every sort of entertainment on offer. I know some people don’t like the idea of Dubai, but don’t knock it till you try it. There’s a reason why the bubble has not burst. However, if you’re looking for something a little less full-on, ask me about quieter options in the Middle East.

Cyrus is a great option for October half term as the temperatures are usually still in the high 20s. I recommend the following hotels for families:

Cap St Georges- a newish hotel with an amazing kids club and a gaming room for older children!

Park Lane – the supervised Park Kidz has a vast themed castle, playground, and a pool complete with a pirate’s ship and waterslide, as well as a mini club and crèche. Babysitting is available too.

Almyra and the Annabelle – both have great facilities for families. Almyra takes babies from 4 months in its kid’s club and provides everything you need for little ones, so you don’t have to cart everything with you on the plane!

In Portugal, the Villa Vita Park and the Martinhal are great for families.

Here is just a small selection of half-term luxury offers. Please ask me if you don’t see the destination or hotel you had in mind:

Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa

7 nights from £12,869 per family

Jumeirah at Saadiyat Island Resort, Abu Dhabi

5 nights from £7,569 per family

Heritage Awali Golf & Spa Resort Mauritius

7 nights from £10,545 per family

Cap St Georges Hotel & Resort, Paphos, Cyprus

7 nights from £6,645 per family

The Ritz-Carlton Tenerife, Abama

7 nights from £4,725 per family

You’ll have to be quick to grab one of these offers, though!
