Bahrain

It is easy to overlook this small island nation, having, as it does, such powerful and flashy neighbours like Qatar and the Emirates. However, ignoring Bahrain would be a huge mistake. It is an emerging power in the region, with all the luxury and worldliness of a cosmopolitan destination and all the charm and personality of a small island. Add to this the growing art scene and burgeoning international cuisine in the country, and you have the newest prime travel destination in the region, and the most socially liberal one.

Lyon

Lyon is commonly referred to as the gastronomy capital. In the past, this label was associated with sauces and a petit-bourgeois small-town complex. However, with the arrival of the TGV high-speed train connecting Lyon to Paris and Marseille, as well as the winning streak of Olympique Lyonnais in various League Championships, Lyon underwent a transformation. The city now boasts daring architecture, bustling cafés, and avant-garde exhibitions, ushering in a new era.

Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria is more than just one of the world's most celebrated beach destinations. Get active at one of the island's many locations for diving, surfing and hiking — you can even scale Roque Nublo, Gran Canaria's iconic "Cloud Rock". With such diverse landscapes, it's no wonder this island has been dubbed "The Little Continent".

Geneva

Perched on the glittering edge of Lac Léman and framed by snowy Alpine peaks, Geneva blends lakeside serenity with global flair. It’s a city of diplomats, watchmakers, and chocolate artisans, where languages mix and trams glide past luxury boutiques and leafy parks. Compact yet worldly, it’s a place for café moments, cultural finds, and mountain views around every corner.

Le Cap d'Agde Méditerranée, France

Autumn and winter colours

Discover the destination with all the gorgeous colours of autumn, it is also a place worth discovering.

Marrakesh

A city steeped in medieval allure, Marrakesh is a tapestry of myths, drama, and the enigma that entraps all who enter its ochre-hued embrace. Step inside, and you'll journey back through time into a world largely preserved in historical chronicles. With its maze-like Medina, the sensory overload of the bustling souks, the theatrical spectacle at Jemaa el-Fna square, and the towering Atlas Mountains serving as a dramatic backdrop, Marrakesh indisputably reigns as Morocco's most dazzling gem.

Reunion Island

Escape to the enchanting island of Réunion, a tiny dot of land in the Indian Ocean, where lush rainforests, towering volcanic peaks, and pristine beaches invite adventurous souls. Embark on thrilling hikes through rugged terrain, marvel at the dramatic landscapes of Piton de la Fournaise—one of the world's most active volcanoes—indulge in the island's rich Creole cuisine, or simply unwind on the sandy shores while soaking in the warm tropical sun.

Nîmes

Nîmes is one of the oldest cities in Europe. It is also the city of spring, named after the Roman God Nemausus. In recent years Nîmes has been rediscovered as a weekend destination, thanks to, in large part, its beauty, rich architectural heritage and proximity to both the Mediterranean and Provence. There are also many exciting restaurants in the city, including Aux Plaisirs des Halles by Nîmes’ large indoor food market.
