"I particularly love the Seychelles."
About me
I’ve been with Scott Dunn for 3 years now, heading up our holidays to oceans and island retreats. I’ve been lucky enough to visit most of our destinations and get a real feel for them. I particularly love the Seychelles as it’s still undiscovered enough to feel very decadent and away from it all. Also, the Caribbean is often thought of as being a very busy and over visited destination, however, over the last few years I’ve found some great little places, far from the expected crowds, which I love sharing with our guests.
Some of my favourite places
Cotton House, Mustique – exclusive, decadent, yet laid back
Denis Island – barefoot luxury, Robinson Crusoe experience
Calabash, Grenada – relaxed home from home
Shanti Maurice – pampering spa, stunning natural beach
Le Tahaa Private Island – a little piece of heaven
Hermitage Bay – perfect romantic getaway on white sands
TiKaye Village, St Lucia – hammocks, rustic luxury with a view
Eden Rock, St Barths – stylish, uber cool and sexy
Travel nuggets
01. When I visited Grenada recently, I was told about an Underwater Sculpture Park at Molinere Bay on Grenada’s West coast. Fascinating sculptures have been sunk around 10 meters below the surface to make a most unusual snorkelling experience.
02. When staying at the Four Seasons or Anahita Mauritius, have a bit of an adventure with the family by spending the day kayaking around the lagoon. A kayak can take you to one of the more secluded beaches on nearby Isle aux Cerfs for a perfect picnic lunch spot!
03. Even though the amazing hotels in Bora Bora make it very hard to want to leave, it’s always worth taking a trip over to the main island for the evening. Bloody Mary’s restaurant is an unforgettable “feet in the sand” dining experience which is enjoyed by many a Hollywood celebrity as well…
My hot picks
01. Spice Island Beach Resort – great option for families, lovely spacious accommodation right on the gorgeous Grand Anse Beach, and a relaxed and intimate atmosphere. Spice Island is family-owned and run so guests feel very much at home.
02.Four Seasons Seychelles – the most stunning accommodation. Villas on stilts with breathtaking views and sunsets to die for! On top of all this, every villa has its own plunge pool too.
03. Shanti Maurice Mauritius – set on an amazing beach, unlike any others on Mauritius, Shanti infuses modern creature comforts with charming Mauritian hospitality. The spa is renowned for world class treatments, including Ayurveda, but this isn’t just a spa hotel, the children are welcome too!
