Luxury Travel in Myanmar is not quite as oxymoronic as it seems when in the

hands of a luxury travel company.

Yangoon, a name perfectly suited to the economic capital of

Myanmar as it signifies the End of Strife. Arranging for luxurious, special touches

here in Myanmar Between the charming surrounds of

The Governor's residence, the Victorian-styled

Strand hotel or the luxury hotel, Kandawgyi Palace where the suite directly faces

the famous lake in Yangon, marks a great start to your travel around Myanmar.

In spite of the fact that Bagan is not of the list of the Wolrd

Heritage Site, it will be a mistake to missing it during your luxury tour

of Myanmar. Bagan, in fact, has been nominated by the New York Times as one of the Top 10 Destinations to go to. Architecturally rich with an amazing amount of temples,

stupas and pagodas, this city is almost iconic for the tourist

visiting Myanmar. From a spectacular balloon ride early morning or evening or a suite

with spectacular views of temples, your experience of Bagan can be arranged

to capitalize on your surrounds and experience.

To complete your travel experience, a stop in Inle Lake will surely be highly

recommended where you will have time to admire the azure blue lake in luxury.

A lunch/brunch break at the Inle Princess Resort(with a spectacular

view of Inle Lake), along with a spa treatment overlooking the same lake- are some

of the extra touches that will make your trip to Inle Lake a memorable one.

Mandalay, yet another popular stop for most travellers to Myanmar, is recognised for its

artisanal culture. Transfers by a luxuriously retrofitted boat to another island close to Mandalay, picnics

on remote stretches of beach prepared by an advanced team and elephant riding through villages are some

of the activities in Myanmar for travellers keen on experiences and luxury.

End of the travel in Putao which is recognized as a veritable paradise

in the Burmese Himalayas. Your last nights in Myanmar will be spending

in the unexpected luxury Malikha Lodge given the locality.

Luxury travel and Dubai have become somewhat synonymous what with the glitzy nature of the city. It is effortless to take pleasure in luxury travel to Dubai, what with the multitude of luxury hotels but what distinguishes a run-of-the-mill luxury tour with an ´insider´s access´ trip to Dubai would be snagging the

right connections and working with someone who knows the best places in the city.

Dubai combines well with other countries in the region- Abu Dhabi, Oman or Iran and would make for an excellent stopover, the convenient flight connections to and out of Dubai as well as its sophisticated infrastructure making it an ideal staging ground for any journey around the Middle East.

Dubai is one of the states of United Arab Emirates (UAE), there is much more capital invested in its progress than any other manufacturing site in the whole world. There are many projects still in Dubai which are under construction; and one of its major projects at this time in progress is the Three Palms, in which there are 3 non-natural islands are under construction in the form of palm trees, and at the top of these three false islands there is constructing a breakwater in order to give protection to each island. It is also fact that each palm of Specific Island will have more than one function; the Jebel Ali will mainly concentrate on entertainment, the Jumeirah on international hotels and restaurants, and leisure and the Deira on residential use. It is very famous in the world and people used to refer to it as the 8th Wonder of the World.

Luxury travel in Dubai would inadvertently involve a spot of shopping. Dubai, well known for its gold souks, the fashionable abayas and some of (if not the largest) malls in the world, has a lot to offer by way of shopping. From homegrown talents to international fashion names, cuisine that draws inspiration both regionally and internationally and a workforce that is equally diverse, Dubai is the easiest introduction for any traveller looking to initiate themselves with the Middle East

Nature enthusiasts are lured to Malaysian Borneo for its wild tropical jungles and the amazing cultures of its local people- quite distinct from peninsular Malaysia with tribes like the Negrito, Iban and Penan.

recently been voted as one of Asia’s best beaches by a respected travel magazine, the ‘under-the-radar’ nature of Langkawi’s beaches looks set to

Malaysia is full of a varied coastline. Beaches of Malaysia are as diverse as its original culture. This country has the brand that it has smooth pebble beaches, black sand beaches as well as powdery beaches.

Where to Source Interesting Tiles in Singapore

Previously I'd always have turned to Rice Fields- a small, well-designed tile and bathroom fittings outfit that's recently re-located to the much-hyped Tiong Bahru Neighbourhood.

Recently however, I'd discovered GFA Global as well. With an interesting website, gorgeous accompanying visuals and possibly the only store that carries tiles imitating the textures of leather and metal, GFA Global also carries my much sought-after Bisazza feature tiles.
