St Regis Mauritius

The St Regis Mauritius is set on the beautiful Le Morne beach in the South West of the Island. Although the hotel only opened in October 2012 the opulent Colonial Style architecture makes the hotel feel like it has been part of Mauritius’ heritage for may years.

The hotel prides itself on excellent service and each of the delightful rooms has beautiful sea views and access to personal Butler service. All rooms have fabulous bathrooms with sensuous egg shaped baths, I made the most of this and arranged for Hugo my butler to draw a luxurious perfumed bath which was very relaxing after a hard afternoon sunbathing.

The St Regis offers 6 restaurants and their Signature dining is at ‘Simply Indian’ where the menus are supervised by the award winning chef Atul Kutchar. We dined in the Floating Market which offers a fusion of Pan Asian cuisine, and it was here that I first tasted Wagyu Beef which certainly delighted my taste buds.

For those that wish to relax and chill, you can enjoy sunrise yoga on the lawn with the sound of the sea to relax you or take advantage of the 2000 sqm spa, where I experienced my best ever back massage.

If you are more energetic then the hotel also has a great Water sports Centre which is a centre of excellence for Kite surfing on the Island. They also offer a PADI Dive Centre and complimentary pedal and sail boats.

For Pampering and Style the St Regis is fantastic – call me for more details.

Muscat

Holidays in Muscat

This is Oman’s capital and has been in existence since the 1st century. Throughout the ages the city has managed to remain relevant and today boasts modern buildings and infrastructure that rivals that of other leading cities. Located as it is on the edge of the Arabian Sea and having deep waters close to its coast, it has a pretty natural harbour. Its coastline is home to a rich variety of reef colonies and plenty of marine life but it also has marvellous beaches for tourists to lounge on.

There are areas that are mountainous, making for a well rounded experience of nature for those on holiday to Muscat. This city is also known for having a number of beautifully designed mosques. Shoppers will be delighted to note that there are an increasing number of shopping malls and history buffs will be happy to tour the many museums in Muscat.

Sightseeing and activities

Muscat is truly an amazing city and visitors are astounded by the wealth of attractions in this Middle Eastern gem. The natural beauty here manifests itself in the form of jaw-dropping wadis and the one that stands out the most is the Wadi Shab with its steep sides, caves and tranquil green pools.

There are also some majestic mountains in this land and at the foot of the Hajar Mountains you will find the incredible Nakhal Fort. Besides its beautiful, grand structure there are many palm trees planted around it that give it a luxurious air.

Speaking of grand structures, you need to take time to go see the Qasr Al Alam Royal Palace. This elegant structure is where the Sultan, the country’s leader works from and unlike the White House, you will not be allowed to take a tour inside. But no one will stop you from taking pictures of the building’s magnificent exterior. The Al Jalali and Al Mirani Forts were formerly prisons used by the Portuguese when they occupied the place in the 16th century.

Their shape and design is something special, sitting as they do in the rocky facade of mountains. Unfortunately you will not be allowed in there as well, viewing is limited to the exterior. You can round up your sightseeing with a stroll along the Corniche Area. You will be treated to amazing views of the city from here as well as tasty refreshments from the eateries there.

The city also has a number of museums which will be of interest to not only history enthusiasts. Here they will get to learn more about Omani history. Some of the museums worth paying a visit to are the Bait az-Zubair Museum, the Children’s Museum and the Natural History Museum.

There are plenty of outdoor activities available to those on holiday to Muscat. If the word vertigo doesn’t exist in your dictionary, you can take on the mountains in the vicinity of this city. And if rock climbing is not your cup of tea, you could simply hike. Nature lovers will want to engage in dolphin and turtle watching.

Shoppers will be spoilt for choice regarding jewellery and handicraft outlets. A little something for everyone is what Muscat promises.

Jordan Holidays

A trip to Jordan is simply an experience that is difficult to put into words. This enigmatic, almost landlocked country dominated by vast deserts is choke-full of attractions that transport tourists beyond the walls of time. The pick of the litter is obviously the astounding rock city of Petra, a locale that not only listed in many a traveller’s bucket lists but also among the new Seven Wonders of the World.

Despite more than half of the country being covered by the Arab Desert, the country is also part of the Fertile Crescent and has tracts of arable land. There are also Mediterranean forests to the west of Jordan. Oases can be found in the desert as well around which towns have sprung up. The port of Aqaba, Jordan’s only connection to the Red Sea is another one of the country’s unique features.

Jordan holidays – Sightseeing and activities

Viewing the picturesque ruins of Petra is what brings most visitors to this Middle Eastern kingdom. Seeing the imposing structures and their pillars carved out of the sandstone cliffs is breathtaking. Equally mind-boggling is the fact that these structures date back to the 6th century BC.

The only way of accessing this site is on camel, horse or donkey-back, or walking which adds another exciting twist to this experience. There are multilingual guides available to take you through this vast site and put things into perspective with plenty of information. Hiking about the site you will come to the Mountain of Aaron (brother to the biblical Moses) which is the highest point in this region.

On your way down you will pass by the Monastery which is among Petra’s most photogenic sites. To further efforts to preserve this magnificent piece of history UNESCO listed Petra as one of its World Heritage sites in 1985.

Going to the Dead Sea is also a unique experience as on the waters of this extremely saline water body, you will be able to float. In visiting this place you will be at the lowest point on earth at about 400m below sea level.

The waters of this sea are also said to have therapeutic qualities, being able to cure a number of skin ailments. Many visitors will cover themselves in the clayish mud around the sea for this reason. Besides these waters there are those of natural hot springs close by which serve a spa resort in the area.

The port city of Aqaba is worth a visit if only to go around the Aqaba fort and tour the 4th century church. If you’re into water sports you can go snorkelling or scuba diving in the Red Sea and even if you’re new to this kind of sport, there are institutions you can go for lessons.

Tourists on holiday to Jordan will find that the area is replete with eateries serving delicious Arab specialities as well as restaurants that do cuisine from all around the world. While in Jordan you can eat Italian and Lebanese delicacies and also indulge in the familiar fast food offered by McDonald and Burger King.
