World Traveller – August 2019

If it’s always been a dream to holiday on a

luxury yacht, turn to page 50 to read Jeremy

Lazell’s story of sailing Greece’s Ionian islands with

his family in tow. It’s a trip he decided to make

following a ‘life’s too short’ revelation. If you’re

in the mood to throw caution to the wind, then

perhaps it’s time you sampled the charms of Ibiza

(it’s family friendly now, p38). Or maybe you can

plump for a total change of scenery in Sweden

(p40), where Scandi cities and rugged countryside

compete for attention.

You don’t need to venture far to have an

excellent time, however. We shine a light on

Dubai’s very own Palm Jumeirah (p20) and all

the wonderful things to see and do there. From

spreading out in a plush suite, to cooling off in

sparkling swimming pools and ticking the very

best experiences off your list – this man-made

island never fails to impress.

Happy travels,

Faye Bartle
