Hello hello, While we’re always happy to see the sun shine, there’s no denying that this week’s heatwave has tested even the most committed summer enthusiasts. We don’t want to fall into the classic British habit of grumbling about the weather - too hot, too cold, never quite right - but let’s be honest: England isn’t exactly designed with extreme heat in mind. So, rather than sweltering in front of a desk fan or searching in vain for a patch of shade in the garden, we’ve found ourselves dreaming of destinations where high temperatures are met with cool sea breezes and inviting hotel pools. Check out our guides to Madagascar, Barbados and the Seychelles for inspiration. And with that in mind, we’re also delighted to announce the launch of a new competition: your chance to win a five-night stay for two at the Veranda Tamarin resort in Mauritius. Think turquoise waters, gently swaying palms, and all the comforts needed to enjoy the sunshine in style. Read on for details on how to enter - and start imagining your escape to somewhere a little better suited to summer heat.
