The luxury hotel Spirito Santo Palazzo Storico opened its doors in Rovinj in August, which is run by two Slovenians, the Bidovec couple. Their love for Rovinj led them to restore a building from the 20s of the last century, which once belonged to a prominent Italian family. The hotel is located just 3 minutes' walk away from the strict center, which used to be called "contrada Spirito Santo" and hence the idea for the hotel's name. See below why this hotel is suitable even for the biggest hedonists among us.
Adrenaline junkies, beware! Are you tempted by cliff jumping? Jumping from a height of hundreds of meters? This is half as much as the tall Nebotičnik in Ljubljana, so much for the show. Now it's possible, just one little thing away from making the leap. 18,000 km to be exact, as it takes place on the other side of the world, in New Zealand.
When adrenaline is released in the body, we are overwhelmed by different feelings. Some are paralyzed by fear, others would. And the latter are looking for this type of entertainment, which is, frankly, not a little. Adrenaline parks, adrenaline sports, this gives adrenaline enthusiasts joy. And you know what else will make them happy? The longest zipline in the world, which is being built in the United Arab Emirates.
Airbnb has quite honestly shaken up the hotel market. And when that happens, there's usually a response. The Hilton hotel chain has responded by already opening lower-priced hotels for millennials, the generation born between 1999 and 2001. These are now teenagers who can already travel the world.
"What I would give for one cold one!" can be heard very often during the summer months. The problem arises when we are then in some fashionable seaside town or some world capital, where prices do not know the upper limit. At that time, we cough up "one cold" for an hour, if necessary. The English exchange Travelex, which took 0.5 liters as a unit, published a list of countries where they offer the cheapest beer, and Europeans, look forward to it!
Do you want to be woken up by the noise of gorillas instead of the usual street noise or rooster crowing? When you opened the curtain, would volcanic peaks appear in front of you? Go to the luxury resort Bisate Lodge in Rwanda, Africa and enjoy the described scenario.
Whoever has it loves home, and no one can take that away from us! However, research has shown that there are places in the world where life is healthier, easier, more organized, and places where this is not the case. The Economist magazine also made a list of the ten best cities to live in for 2017. 140 places were selected, which were evaluated according to 30 criteria. Pollution, crime rates, healthcare, infrastructure and education are just the most obvious of them.
It's hard to imagine having an island all to yourself during your vacation, isn't it? But let's do it, at least for a while. No screaming tourists, no loud boats, every bit of beach is ours and (oops!) no bars with loud music. If this is your dream, you can make it come true, and if you have a bit of Robinson Crusoe in you, this vacation is written for you.
Inside each of us is a restless adventurer who, in his imagination, runs over every stone, climbs every tree and jumps into any water. We just have to drive him crazy. Would it be easier to take up running if you knew you could go on an adventure with a Land Rover? Probably yes. The luxury travel agency Ambercrombie & Kent, in collaboration with Land Rover, has prepared a real training ground, you just bring the adventurer in you.
The universe rarely reminds us of ourselves, because we already have a lot of work to do on Earth. Well, maybe on warm summer nights we often look up at the stars. But when the universe 'pats us on the shoulder', it's always for something special. This time it's the USA's turn. On August 21, Americans will be able to observe a total solar eclipse for the first time in 100 years. As befits them, they will 'decorate' the event a little more. Are you wondering how?
