Restorative breaks

Some holidays you want to go on, some you need to go on. When the pings and bleeps of modern life get a bit much, these are the places to escape to. Each one has been tried and tested by the most overworked member of our team we could find at the time, so you know that we’ve been there and come back happy, meaning you probably will as well. Browse sunny island escapes for sangria at sunset, chic spa hotels for a massage and a steam, and grand chateaux where you can stroll the gardens in the blissful peace that only comes when you get far, far away from it all.
