Destinations of the World News - February 2025

في هذا العدد

A delectable dinner, a riveting adventure, a simple stroll; all have our own definition of romance. The same goes for travel. An indulgent stay in an opulent suite in the GCC can conjure the same dreamy intoxication for one individual as a thrilling journey through the lush rainforests of South America does for another. Fortunately for you, this issue we have combined the magic of Valentine’s Day with travel, so you can truly have the best of both worlds.

In Cambodia, Joe Mortimer leaves city life behind and travels deep into the country’s northeast to discover the enchanting artistry and architecture of Angkor. Over in Europe, Robert La Bua falls in love with some of Europe’s great cities and celebrates romantic encounters in England, Germany, Italy, Spain and Switzerland. As for me, I continue my love affair with the Seychelles as I say goodbye to the main island of Mahé and head for the stunning Desroches Island, where I go on the hunt for the area’s most famous inhabitants – giant Aldabra Tortoises.

However you choose to mark Valentine’s Day and wherever your travels may take you, embrace all that comes across your path. Chase those moments, chase those memories and never stop falling in love with it all.
