RAYMOND BLANC’s SEASONS LUXURY HOLIDAYS
A taste
of paradise
For a luxury holiday bolthole or an idyllic escape with your loved one, an upmarket island adventure is
just the thing. BY SOPHIE MANSELL
F
rom the warm seas of the Mediterranean,
and the tranquil vibe of Caribbean shores,
to the diverse marine life of action-packed
Australasia or lush Indian Ocean retreats, there’s
a hideaway waiting to tick all of your boxes. So
start planning your getaway to one of the world’s
dream island destinations.
The Mediterranean
The Med offers a unique island break—an
unbeatable combination of rich history,
spectacular coastline and guaranteed sunshine
that is just a stone’s throw away. The exclusive
Italian island of Capri, off the Gulf of Naples, is the
destination for a luxury short-haul holiday.
Escape to Capri
Arriving on a short boat ride from Naples, you’re
met by a dramatic, mountainous landscape lined
with picturesque fishing coves. The jet-set adore
this island—Barbra Streisand and Rod Stewart
to name a few.
Chic Capri Town, popular for its plethora of
designer shops, is nestled between the island’s
two mountains—Mount Tiberio and Solaro—
a wonderful contrast with Capri’s magical
aquamarine grottos. Its famous blue grotto cave
dates back to Roman times.
The island’s climate escapes the Med’s harsh
high-summer sun, maintaining a pleasant mid-
twenties temperature. Factor in lush flora and Island dreams …the
majestic cliffs of the
wildlife like the large albatross and rare blue
west coast of Capri
Faraglioni lizard, and you have a fascinating isle.
