Four Seasons keeps rolling them out! The latest opening is in the Seychelles, which I think boasts the best beaches in the world (and is much more tranquil and peaceful than Mauritius). The Four Seasons hotel is on the biggest island of Mahe, which means it will face stiff competition from the excellent Banyan Tree there. Guests will stay in treehouse villas, and each one will come with a veranda and plunge pool. The spa sounds like a stunner too. It is located on a hilltop, about 100 meters above sea level, and there is also an adjacent Yoga Pavillion. Sounds like heaven to us. Rates start at 1,000 euros.

A few years ago I was lucky enough to travel to the Seychelles, and was blown away by it all. The beaches are picture perfect- imagine acres of sugar soft, blindingly white sand with gin clear waters, and hardly any crowds. Anse Lazio beach on Praslin is probably the best beach I’ve ever been to in the world, and I can still remember the meal I ate the Bonbon Plume restaurant there- grilled barracuda in a light tomato sauce, smoked fish salad, yellow lentil curry and jasmine rice. I vowed to return, but the only problem is that the hotels there seem to charge around £600 a night- per person. To combat the image of the Seychelles as only being a playground for the rich, the new website Secret Seychelles showcases a selection of affordable guesthouses and self-catering apartments. Most of them come in at about 150-...

This Valentine’s Day, instead of doing the same-ole same-ole (buying a card from Paperchase, forking out vast sums of money for dinner for two- at 7pm), to really wow your loved one, whisk them off to the Maldives.

But who really goes to the Maldives for two days? To really score points, book a 7-night package, through Seasons in Style, which includes Pierre Marcolini sorbets to cool you off during the day; a nightcap of chocolates; the truffle and wine tasting experience; and Pierre Marcolini spreads at breakfast. The cost? £3345 per person. For more information, call...

a few days in the sun coupled with some salt water, your skin
will start to glow and you'll be tempted to ditch the makeup. But
to make your holiday skin even better, consider visiting
Huvafen
Fushi in the Maldives this May, when celebrity facialist
Anastasia Achilleos will be in residence. London-based Anastasia
counts Kate Moss, Liberty Ross and Sadie Frost among her clients

massage. Anastasia will be at Huvafen Fushi from 1 to
5 May, 2007, to host
a special wellness retreat together...
