Sugar Beach, a Viceroy Resort, St Lucia, Caribbean








It feels as though the sweetness of the sugar cane from this old St. Lucia port inspired every aspect of Sugar Beach, a Viceroy Resort, a subtle but stylish resort at the foot of the Pitons.

In rooms, and throughout a variety of villas, colonial pieces flirt with a modern approach, and large, cozy beds await you come sundown. Just a short stroll away, Sugar Beach glistens in the sunshine, demonstrating how it garnered its namesake. Offshore, kayaking, snorkeling, and sailing make for wonderful ways to lose an hour or five.

Between floating in the large, central pool, and drifting in and out of consciousness at the spa, you may feel a tad peckish The food? Think surf and turf in the most elegant way possible. At sunset, grab a drink at the Bayside Bar. Later, do your best Jack Sparrow impression at the Cane Bar - a rum-runner's paradise.

El Questro Homestead, Kununurra, Western Australia






Embark upon a luxurious outback adventure and become lost in a wilderness park set within the remote and starkly beautiful landscape of the Kimberley region. Welcome to El Questro Homestead.

At this luxury outback resort, guests are invited to hike the rugged landscape, and explore the unique surroundings. Resort guides know the perfect spot on the river to fish Barramundi, a tasty fish best served with a squeeze of fresh lime. Here, guests may choose to cruise the Chamberlaine Gorge, or take a scenic helicopter trip to one of the many billabongs or waterfalls.

If this sounds like too much hard work, you can simply do like the indigenous wildlife do, and laze in the shade of a boab tree. Or, enjoy an afternoon at Mother Nature's day spa, the Zebede thermal springs.

El Questro Homestead provides its guests with truly unique dining opportunities from picnicking by a spectacular waterfall, to watching the sun set over the gorge as you enjoy a romantic twilight dinner for two. We recommend guests take the time for a decadent soak in the outdoor bathtub on your private veranda. At El Questro, there is time for stargazing and contemplating this beautiful countryside.
