Mykonos
[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent”][blockquote text=”Name me a place where, within two days of arrival, your stress level disappears, you look like you had a multi-thousand-pound facelift, you all of a sudden appear fitter, thinner and more attractive, and your energy levels explode.
Conde Nast Traveller” show_quote_icon=”yes” quote_icon_color=”#99805c”][vc_column_text]The mere mention of Mykonos brings to mind bright white buildings and cobalt blue water. Always a good start for any destination. The island has a loyal following of families who enjoy a bit of glamour and an Ibiza-style blend of beaching, boho styling and a bit of partying.

Hotel Belvedere – Mykonos
The Drakothea Residence – Courtesey of Kid and Coe.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent”][vc_column_text]
Why we recommend Mykonos:
DJs play live in the supermarkets and a pelican given to the island by Jackie O still roams about in the harbour. The good times on this island can be as fully charged or as mellow as you like.

Hua hin, thailand
[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent”][vc_single_image image=”4151″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_separator type=”transparent”][vc_column_text]Hua Hin traces its aristocratic roots to the 1920’s when King Rama VI and Rama VII built their summer residences here.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]“Phra Ratchawang Klai Kangwon” was the palace built by King Rama VI, its name means “Far from worries palace”. The name is so poetic, its become more than just the name of a palace, its become a city slogan and certainly an inviting one if you’re looking to get some well earned rest and relaxation.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Hua Hin is different to some areas of Thailand as its no palm fringed castaway island. Instead its known as a place where the city meets the sea.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent”][vc_column_text]
Why we recommend hua hin
If you love the beach but can’t leave the convenience of New York City too far behind, Hua Hin could be just right for you as its home to lively markets, tasty street eats and a fully functional infrastructure.
This is a bustling Thai town, where seafood is plentiful and affordable, there’s cheap public transport for beach-hopping and it takes a lot less effort (and money) to get here from Bangkok than to the southern islands.
If you’re ready for a beautiful adventure, this could be the city for you.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Where to stay:
