For a weekend > We spend a lot of our summer weekends in Mallorca. Palma old city is one of Europe’s most fantastic places to visit. I’m just about to go to New York to visit our showroom and have a small break.
A long holiday > Nothing beats winter sun. The Maldives in January is amazing. No grey cold skies in sight.
Luxe relax >>
Favourite restaurant > Our current favourite is Forn in Palma. But, if you are in Palma, I would also recommend a trip to the fish market for an amazing atmosphere and great food.
Best wine > Camel Valley. A British sparkling white or rose.
Perfect weekend > Any that includes a lazy Sunday.
Downtime means > Playing real tennis! Jesmond has one of only about 40 real tennis courts in the whole world and anyone interested in sport or British heritage should see it and have a go.
