From Mongolia to Oman, 6 trips of a lifetime that travellers will love

Whether you’re looking for some TLC or for the adventure of a lifetime, here’s a round up some of the top travel destinations. From peace-filled retreats to far-flung trips of a lifetime, there is something for everyone.

Get away from Japan’s conventional tourist trail with a stay at Amanemu. This stunning Aman property showcases all of the hotel group’s impeccable hospitality, but has shunned a big city location for Ise-Shima National Park, a three-hour train journey from Kyoto. The hotel prides itself on its simplicity and slow pace so it is ideal for those searching for calm in a crazy world. There’s an outdoor infinity pool, sunken terraces with fires for stargazing and cocktails, a library, and bicycles for exploring the area. There is also a serene spa, outdoor hot spring onsen baths, an airy yoga studio, a watsu water therapy pool and four treatment rooms with forest views.

Being a wilderness area, travelling in British Columbia, Canada isn’t particularly easy and it can be expensive, but if you’re looking for a special escape with a side order of self-satisfaction this will tick all the boxes. Travel in early September to visit the Great Bear Rainforest where you can kayak with the resident orca, watch black bears, grizzly bears and spirit bears feeding on salmon before their hibernation, and go on whale watching safaris. It’s safe for females, there are no language barriers and endless guided tours are available. The memories and sense of achievement on your return will be mind-blowing.
