Perfect Christmas Wish List
It’s that time of the year again and finding the perfect
present for that special someone who seems to have it all is now one
less-stress your clients need to worry about. We’ve come up with our top
recommendations for the most romantic Christmas gifts of all time. Easy to
book, hard to beat and definitely a more satisfying way to do the Christmas
shopping than hitting the streets, or waiting in for the postman. Spread the
word..your clients will love you for it!
Petit St Vincent
Create lifetime memories with a loved one, friends, or
family on a lush 115-acre tropical island. With just 22 spacious one bedroom
cottages and two bedroom beach villas, you can enjoy the privacy you desire
with gorgeous views of the Caribbean Sea at Petit St Vincent.
This is the perfect location to unplug and unwind. With no
telephones, TV’s or Wi-Fi in the cottages this island is all about stopping
time, putting the brakes on life and taking a second to breathe. Those looking
to relax can lounge with a book on the beach without another soul in sight
while sipping a fresh piña colada or spend the afternoon at the open-air
treetop spa listening to the sound of the warm breeze gently blowing through
the trees.
For those looking to keep active, the island has a hiking
trail and two beachside yoga pavilions, and all non-motorized water
activities—snorkelling, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, windsurfing and
Sunfish or Hobie Cat sailing—are complimentary. But the dive centre is where PSV
really excels. Owned and operated by Jean-Michel Cousteau, dive in and enjoy
the hidden secrets of coral reefs and be dazzled by the array of colorful coral
reef fishes, secretive sea turtles, graceful eagle rays and inquisitive
lobsters.
PSV isn’t for everyone, but it is for those looking for
somewhere completely different; somewhere that offers a true escape from the
frantic pace of modern life. It could be the greatest gift you give, a chance
to detach from virtual reality for a moment, re-connect with loved ones,
celebrate the simple pleasures in life and soak up the beauty of Caribbean
life.
Crillon le Brave
Surrounded by vineyards and olive groves our hilltop village
hotel in Provence is the perfect destination for a romantic short break. The views
from the rooms, terraces and gardens are simply stunning at Hotel Crillon le Brave.
They have created the package “Crillon for Two” which is the
perfect gift to share with a loved one who is in need of some indulgent
pampering. When you arrive at the hotel flowers, champagne and a small bottle
of massage oil will be waiting for you in your room. Later, or the next day,
take an unhurried ride through the surrounding vineyards and olive groves on
our state-of-the-art Co-motion tandem bicycle with a picnic hamper stuffed full
of special Provencal treats, a bottle of Domaine Vintur rosé and a map of
suggested routes and scenic locations for a lazy picnic along the way.
And afterwards, enjoy a well-deserved 60-minute massage each
in the spa des écuries. In the evening, the head chef Jerôme Blanchet, one of
the finest young chefs of his generation, will prepare for you his ‘menu de
saison’, served on the main terrace overlooking the Mont Ventoux or in our stone
vaulted dining room, depending on the weather.
Portetta
Swap white sand for white snow this year and opt for the
plush surroundings of this retreat high in the French Alps. Portetta sits on the slopes of chic Courchevel
1650, moments away from a ski lift. Piste-facing bedrooms have stunning vistas,
valley-facing bedrooms offer complete tranquillity, or for those with a larger
budget, the luxurious lofts or mountain lodges offer the ultimate in ski-in
ski-out luxury.
Enjoy the best sun terrace, lounge, bar and restaurant in Courchevel.
The hotels Fire and Ice bar is right at the bottom of the main piste and has
huge log burning fires, flaming torches, wood fired pizza oven, ice shots, fur
snugs and heated bar seating. And for full on foodies, the hotel has partnered
with Angela Hartnett to open the new restaurant Cucina Angelina which serves
Italian influenced mountain food.
