Resorts Of Villas And Apartments

Elegant Resorts latest Villas and Apartments brochure has just been released, introducing a whole host of new villas and, for the first time, apartments have also been included  – to offer a much wider choice and even more flexibility.

This brochure offers a wide range of properties to suit all – couples, small or large groups, families and even groups who may be celebrating a special occasion and require their own island complete with home gym and private cinema.  Other facilities that can be enjoyed include: gourmet chefs or cooks on site, butler and maid service, laundress,  private pools and jacuzzis, designer interiors, in-villa spas, games rooms, tennis courts, fully captained boats with water-sports, motor cruiser and captain, water ski boats, private cars and chauffeurs – the list goes on.  Villas with home cinemas include, Cove Spring House, Villa Maco Lodge, Casa Loniceria,  Villa al Boschiglia and Son Salas.  Tranquil gardens, magnificent views and sublime beaches complete the paradise.

Flexibility and privacy come immediately to mind when selecting a villa or apartment, and the unique appeal of indulging in your own space is often a welcome alternative to the more traditional hotel experience.  A choice of cooking favorite meals (or having them prepared for you by a private chef) is often part of a great holiday, and can also be a godsend to families with small children – alternatively why not use the opportunity to explore local restaurants.

The portfolio spans not only the Caribbean: Barbados, Grenada, Antigua, St Lucia, St Barths, Mustique, Anguilla and the British Virgin Islands, but also Orlando and the Gulf Coast of Florida in North America, and Europe: Portugal, Mallorca, Italy and Greece.  It consists myriad styles and sizes from one bedroom such as Porto Zante Villas in Greece, Oceano in Portugal or Villa Atalante in St Barths – up to estates like Mount Hartman Bay in Grenada or Cove Spring House in Barbados, with the capacity to sleep 20 -22 people, or the total privacy of Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands, a perfect hideaway for up to 28 people.

Styles are also varied – the Tuscan-style Villa al Boschiglia in Italy, barefoot casual in Captiva or Naples in Florida, the traditional comfort of Royal Westmoreland in Barbados, the cutting edge contemporary feel of Cerulean Villa in Anguilla or Son Salas in Mallorca, a 17th century Mallorquin estate surrounded by 50 acres of olive, orange and lemon groves.

Families and more active groups can enjoy the Orlando Luxury Villas, providing a refined experience, but with all the attractions of Disney and other theme parks nearby – as well as a choice of championship golf courses on the doorstep.

Private Jets can also be easily arranged to make the very most of precious time and to create that effortlessly stylish holiday to each unique villa or apartment.

Exclusive Special Offer

Elegant Resorts are also offering clients an exclusive special offer at The Old Sugar House in Barbados.  Guests who book 7 nights will receive a further 7 nights free from £640 per person – save up to £435 per person.  Price is based on 10 adults sharing this 5 bedroom property and includes 14 nights accommodation and return private car transfers.  Flights and all meals are extra.  This offer is valid from 1 August – 15 December 2007 & 1 May – 30 September 2008 inclusive.

Vietnam Beaches Promising for Perfect “get-away” Vacations

With around 2,000 miles of coastline, Vietnam is luckily endowed with a number of white sand and beautiful beaches. The best ones are in the southern part of the country where the sun shines almost year round. With a long, sandy coastline, and with clusters of palm fringed islands, those beaches can boast to suit any preference and for any time of year. Also several nice beaches in the north near Hanoi, but the period most suitable for swimming is limited from May to July or August due to weather conditions. The following beaches are listed north to south, starting with one of Vietnam’s most famous beaches.

China Beach
This 20 mile stretch of sand near Danang really was used by American soldiers as an “R&R” stop. The weather here is perfectly cool in the winter, but from April or May until August it can be very nice. The beach was the site of Vietnam’s first international surfing competition in 1992. Conditions for surfing are best from September to December. The beach is home to one of Vietnam’s most luxurious beach hotels, the Furama Resort. Danang, Marble Mountain, My Son and Hoi An can be explored by day-trips from China Beach.

Nha Trang
In south-central Vietnam, Nha Trang is the closest thing Vietnam has to an “international” beach resort destination. Nha Trang is Vietnam’s premier beach destination, home to two of Vietnam’s best beach resorts, one of which is on the mainland and one is on a small island nearby. The town itself is a lively port town with excellent seafood and some interesting Cham ruins nearby. It is also possible to dive or snorkel in this area and a boat trip around the islands lying off the coast is another delightful way to pass the time. The accommodation in there can meet any demand from standard hostels to the most luxurious resorts in Vietnam. Nha Trang can be easily reached by air from Saigon, Hanoi and other cities.

Hoi An
Hoi An town is also known for its fine white sand beach, around three kilometers from the main town. This is a great option for those who wish to combine interesting touring with time spent relaxing on the beach.

Phan thiet
In Southern Vietnam, Phan Thiet district is home to the peaceful fishing village of Mui Ne, whose endless stretch of white beach now offers a range of resorts. It has also long been considered the “Hawaii” of Vietnam. It boasts shady roads under coconut trees, a beautiful beach and cliffs battered by the waves of the sea. The typical scenery of Mui Ne lies in the moving lines of golden sand caused by the wind and when they are seen from afar they look like moving waves. The scenery looks more fascinating at dawn, when young Cham girls in green dresses go to work. Mui Ne is an ideal place for rest and relaxation.
Thanks to its proximity to Saigon, Mui Ne is popular with tourists and locals alike and its location means that it is the perfect way to end a Vietnam trip. Mui Ne has become popular for kite surfing and the nearby sand dunes are more reminiscent of Africa than Vietnam. Visitors also can enjoy swimming in the blue water of the sea, climbing the sand dunes or relaxing by a swimming pool. Phan Thiet can be reached by road from Hochiminh city

Vung Tau
The beach at Vung Tau isn’t especially great, but its proximity to Ho Chi Minh City insures a steady patronage from locals as well as tourists. Vung Tau is about 80 miles from Ho Chi Minh City. This destination can be reached by road or hydrofoil from this busiest city of Vietnam.

Phu Quoc Island
Phu Quoc Island is situated off the South coast of Vietnam, close to Cambodia. This small and unspoiled island is only a short flight from Saigon and remains a quiet and laid back destination, perfect for those wishing to escape the crowds. According to many, the beaches of Phu Quoc Island are the best in Vietnam. The island is still quite primitive and untouched. However some hotels and resorts are operated and well respond to the wide range of tourist’s demand rising. The island can be reached by air or by ferry from Rach Gia on the mainland.

Guide To Dog Friendly Hotels For The Pampered Pooch

In France, small dogs have always been pampered and accepted virtually anywhere their owner goes. That can now be extended to cities worldwide and is especially true of Hotels at the top-end of the market.

There are two main reasons for this. Increasing numbers of clients wish to have their dog with them to maximize the pleasure of the vacation. This is a huge market – around 62 million people in America own dogs and 29 million of them take their dogs with them when then go travelling. The other factor is that many owners feel guilty at putting their dog into kennels. This all reflects the way dogs are now seen much more as part of the family, rather than a mere pet.

NUMBER CRUNCHING

A survey on behalf of a Hotel chain came up with some surprising findings. 76% of respondents claimed that they would show more loyalty to a hotel chain that was prepared to accommodate their dogs – even if they weren’t bringing their dog on vacation! 16% admitted that they had, at one time or another smuggled their dog into a hotel that wouldn’t accept pets!

WHAT CAN MY DOG EXPECT FROM A HOTEL?

Most dog-friendly hotels offer basics such as food and water. Others add nice touches like a gift on arrival and custom-made ID tags. The more expensive the hotel, the more luxuries your dog can expect to indulge in. You will be provided with toys, leashes and collars, poop scoops and even videos for your dog to watch.

Dogs can now get organic roasted chicken and Aberdeen Angus steaks from room service. Some hotels offer dog meals that have been developed with the help of a veterinarian – especially to help your dog deal with the stress of travelling! The hotel concierge will organize dog walkers and a pet sitter, if you’re planning to spend some time away from your dog. One of the most amazing things offered in a Pampered Pooch Package is the use of a ‘dog translator’ so that guests can communicate better with their canines!

DOGS LOVE TO GROOM!

If you go for a relaxing pedicure, you dog can lie next to you and have one too. In-hotel grooming parlors are increasingly popular. Why not treat your pampered pooch to some highlights, lowlights or French braiding? Teeth cleaning and massage is also on offer.

THE TOP TEN DOG-FRIENDLY CITIES IN THE USA AND CANADA ARE:

1. Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

2. San Francisco, California

3. Chicago, Illinois

4. Boston, Massachusetts

5. Austin, Texas

6. Seattle, Washington

7. New York City

8. Long Beach, Los Angeles

9. St Louis, Missouri

10. Northern Virginia Area of Washington DC

THE SKY’S THE LIMIT

Here’s a quick run-down on what your dog could get at a stay in a high-end hotel in The Big Apple:

* Personalized ID tag plated in 22 carat gold

* Spritz treatments for the dog’s coat in a choice of aromatherapy fragrances

* Luxury dog pillow in the shape of a bone

* Home-baked dog biscuits and treats

* 300 thread count sheets on a special dog mattress

* Room service for dogs offering appetizers, entrees and deserts

The hotels can’t control the weather but they can make life more bearable for your dog with the loan of a trench coat (rainproof, naturally!), a leather jacket or if it turns chilly – a cashmere sweater. It’s a dog’s life!
