Travel
We are recommended a bottle of wine by the waiter who is attentive and very pleasant throughout the meal. My sea bass is cooked to perfection and is accompanied by baby clams, spinach, cream veloute foam and a cauliflower puree. Te lamb is tender and juicy under the crunch of the flavourful crust. Te fondant potatoes, Mediterranean vegetables and thyme jus are wonderful accompaniments. For dessert we share a French cheese platter,
which comes with five different cheeses, sliced apple, walnuts and home-made bread. Te Brie de Meaux has an incredible depth of flavour and we almost polish off the entire platter, choosing a deep textured red wine to compliment the cheeses. We sleep very well that night. Te next day we take a look at the range of
activities offered at the hotel. Among them are polo matches, cooking tutorials, wine-tasting and rare-bird watching but we decide to head to the indoor squash courts to work off some of the effects of our indulgence the previous night.
After this, we take a well-deserved trip to the Lime Spa, which offers every service you could possibly wish for, including an eyebrow designer who is on-site all year round. We visit the sauna and steam room and then gather the courage for a dip in the cold plunge pool. After this I have a LIME Facial Glacier, a treatment designed to lift and firm the skin. Te massage over my scalp, neck and shoulders is blissful and my skin feels fresh and radiant. My partner opts for the Man Made facial, which includes a consultation to really tailor it to the individual’s specific concerns. Essential and botanical oils are massaged into the face for deep relaxation and to target any skin problems and the effects are clear to see! We then
take advantage of the spa’s juice bar and we leave feeling relaxed and healthy. If there is a hotel that really has the wow-
factor it is the Desert Palm. Its abundant facilities, exquisite food and fantastic location are remarkable and I am personally impressed by the attention shown to your well-being and happiness as a guest. Te only complaint we had, in fact, was that we had to leave.
