An absolute knockout of an island. The super swanky speedboat arrival, the most delicious dinners at the Lighthouse restaurant perched above the ocean, morning yoga sessions and a fantastic reef (with sunken speedboat) to snorkel. Barefoot luxury at its finest.

For anyone who loves food, the Pig hotels are an absolute must. The staff are so skilled at making you feel instantly at home, with attentive but completely unstuffy service. I love the Bramley bath products and post dinner cocktails with a board game or two in the very cosy lounges.

A dream of a hotel, super small (seven rooms), incredible service, the most beautiful soft bedding, free mini bar with healthy breakfast and juices (you are in Byron after all). A short walk from the coolest restaurants and bars, and of course the beaches too.

So buzzy, so many different corners to explore and the best rooftop bars and coolest coffee shops around. I always clock up some serious steps, the very best way to see the city and visit the different neighbourhoods. I love walking the Highline, grabbing lunch at Chelsea Markets and then heading down to the legendary comedy cellar in Greenwich Village.

Tuscany is the summer dream: the smell of Lavender, an Aperol in hand and rolling hill views for days. Pick a hotel tucked away on a hillside, like Castello del Nero, for delicious fresh local food, welcoming service and nowhere to be but right there.

My top choice for a summer break. I cannot get enough of the clear waters, the incredible sunsets and unspoilt island life. Hiring a boat and whizzing around the coastline, jumping in and out of the water and picking the perfect little cove for lunch. Spinach and feta pies for breakfast, Greek salad and a super cold Mythos with lunch and freshly caught seafood with a crisp local Greek wine for dinner, what could be better.
