Discover your next great escape

Welcome to our latest edition of Great Escapes – a curated selection of holidays, designed to inspire your travel plans for this year and beyond.

In this issue, we look ahead to 2025 with our annual Hot List, which features a wonderfully diverse mix of destinations, taking in everything from the vibrant wildlife of Costa Rica to the remote beauty of North Iceland, a region on the rise. We also look beyond the headlines in Portugal with a first-hand guide to the extraordinary history and world-class wines of Alentejo, chart fresh routes through Italy’s Aosta Valley, and join our cruise experts on the waterways of Colombia before heading to the polar regions with expedition pioneers, Ponant.

But it’s not all far-flung adventure as we also preview Belmond’s latest luxury train, Britannic Explorer. Launching this summer, its range of rail journeys explore the rich history, culture and gastronomy of our very own British Isles.
