Recently, I had the pleasure of staying at one of Samui's best hideaways, Villa M (Villa Macpherson). Tucked away in the trendy and endearing Fishermen's Village, the only absolute beachfront villa there and an all-white home away from home. Owned by Australian couple Neill and Leslie Macpherson; they fell in love with the magical island Samui and ended up building Villa M, then decorating it personally bit by bit. Besides the beautiful interior (which I'm trying to replicate at home!), I simply love the location of Villa M. To be very honest, my prior experience in Samui had kind of been limited to the infamous Full Moon parties, so I was surprised to discover that Fishermen's Village is actually full of quaint cafes and boutiques. Thus, if you're looking for a honeymoon destination or even a great place to chill for a Hen's getaway, then Samui is the place with a bit of everything. There are five bedrooms to choose from at Villa M and of course, yours truly took the best one (haha)! The third floor has only just one lar

"The perfect escape." If it has eluded you before, then fret no more as Sri Panwa certainly ticks all the boxes.  From winning numerous awards (World's #2 Beach bar - CNN) to press coverage in the likes of the IHT, Harper's Bazaar UK and so on, Sri Panwa is certainly a Thai brand that has made its mark. Personally speaking, it has also long been on my list of Phuket resorts to stay at... like, we're talking years! So as you can imagine, I was definitely counting my lucky stars when I recently got to visit this much talked about resort. Here are my top 10 reasons, on why you should be heading there: One of a kind And I mean it literally! Nestled on the South Eastern point of Phuket, in Cape Panwa, you're a while away from the standard tourist haunts. After all, isn't it the point of a getaway to avoid the hustle and bustle? Privacy? Yes, please! The View Yes, I woke up to this every morning *sigh*! The Villas With such stunning views and your own private pool, Sri Panwa has been designed such that you don't

Planning a honeymoon or a destination wedding? If the traditional beach honeymoon idea is starting to seem more banal than appealing, an adventure honeymoon could be a chance for the both of you to do something extraordinary. For an off-the-beaten-path adventure with all the comforts of a relaxing vacation, we suggest giving New Zealand a go! What To Do? Get Active! New Zealand is famous for bungee jumping in Queenstown, Hammer Springs, Taupo and Auckland, and jet-boating at Queenstown and the Bay of Islands, but there's also zorbing (the Kiwi-invented sport of rolling down a slope in a giant transparent ball) and blowkarting (another New Zealand innovation that has you 'sailing' on land in a custom-built cart). Thrill-seekers in New Zealand have been known to go river sledging in the waters around Queenstown and Wanaka. Then there's cave rafting; riding a tube through the dark caverns around Waitomo, Westport and Greymouth. N ew Zealand surfers wear wetsuits all year round, particularly so on the South Island.

So, you just got married. Tired from all the planning, preparation and execution, now it’s time to enjoy your time out to reconnect with the one you have promised to spend the rest of your life with. But what if you have spent not only your entire savings, but all of your allocated vacation time on the wedding itself? Fear not; here at WGA we have cobbled up some quick honeymoon alternatives for you. The Mini-moon Usually, couples who put off their big honeymoon trip find out that “real life” likes to put people’s plans asunder. In that case, consider spending two or three days right after the wedding on a quick getaway to somewhere close by to recuperate. Check into a big hotel in a close by town for a few days and enjoy some quiet time with your partner before having to jump back into “real life”. Quickie outdoors adventure You can also enjoy the great outdoors, whether it be camping or backpacking. There’s no reason why it couldn’t be a short, two or three-day romantic getaway to refres
