Cairo, Egypt
In june, the much-talked about St Regis will open right on the river, injecting Cairo’s dusty hotel scene with a much-needed dosage of glamour; it’s floor-to-ceiling glass doors opening onto terraces that offer the sharpest views of Cairo’s pedestrian-friendly Corniche promenade anywhere around. Nile cruise liner Sanctuary Retreats has just launched weekly sailings of its boutique wooden boats, kitted out with art deco fixtures and leather deck chairs to sink into while gazing at Nubian sandstone cliffs and the teeming ancient tombs and temples of Luxor.
Matera, Italy
From the city or Valetta, Malta to the rich culture of Matera, Basilicata Italy – this tiny area, found in the South of Italy has only recently come out of the shadows.
Matera is one of the most interesting, unusual and memorable tourist destinations in Italy. In the remote southern region of Basilicata (also called Lucania), still little-visited by foreign travellers, it is a town famous for its extensive cave-dwelling districts, the sassi. Curious visitors can stay in caves, wander the lanes alongside the picturesque cave-filled cliffs, and learn the history of this fascinating place.
The caves of Matera had been inhabited for centuries; some humble and some smarter residences, but by the early twentieth-century the area was a by-word for poverty. Until the 1950s hundreds of families were still living crowded into cave-houses here.
The Scottish Highlands
Perhaps if Britain leaves Europe in March 2019, people will flock to the highlands in groups. Skiing breaks, here we come!
The Danish billionaires Anders and Anne Holch Povlsen, who are now Scotland’s largest private landowners are trying to restore the Highlands for generations to come, one of their closest advisers has said.
Europeans can’t get enough of the place. Kyle House – a former smokery turned Danish-minimalist masterpiece, with amazing mountain views from every seat in the house, including the bath – has just opened.
Set to follow are a few lovely destinations such as the lochside Hope Lodge and Lundies, a restored manse aimed at bikers and hikers on the North Coast 500, which is bringing new life to this beautiful area.
The Povlsens have also just opened Kennels Cottage, in the Cairngorms, while the village of Braemar, across the peaks, is all abuzz as the Swiss gallerists behind Hauser & Wirth undertake their epic makeover of the Fife Arms, transforming it into a top-notch, 46-room hotel with Jinny Blom gardens, a spa, a restaurant and, of course, a bar – plus a knockout collection of Scottish and international art and installations.
Additionally, down in the Lowlands, Dundee‘s culture credentials are multiplying. The V&A opened here in September 2018, and now a former mill is being turned into a massive multi-venue arts destination.
