Destinations of the World News - April 2024

この号では

The life of a traveller follows a curious rhythm interrupted by syncopated sounds and unexpected echoes. As a child of the 80s, some of my first travel memories were born in the Mediterranean. The Balearic Islands were always popular, served with the promise of sun-blushed days and warm, endless nights. Mallorca and Menorca in particular stay with me: water clear as glass and long days on beautiful beaches.
We revisit the Balearic Islands in this issue, delving into the heritage and natural landscapes of these idyllic isles and exploring beyond the beach to find tales of pirates and ancient settlers. We also travel to the heart of the Iberian Peninsula with a guide to Madrid, looking at where to stay and what to do in the Spanish capital, before setting our sights on Turkey and travelling to little-known Afyonkarahisar.
The Eid al-Fitr holiday is one of the most important of the year, and this issue is loaded with inspiration for indulgent breaks. From design-driven hideaways in the deserts of Ras Al Khaimah and wellness escapes in Dubai to family friendly breaks in the Indian Ocean and beyond, there’s plenty to whet your appetite for adventure. You just need to find your rhythm. Happy travels and Eid Mubarak.
