Journey through the melodies of the Deep South

Nashville, Tennessee, is the heart of country music. Known as ‘Music City,’ Nashville's influence on American music is undeniable. With tickets included to the world-famous Grand Ole Opry, you’ll get an unparalleled country music experience that can’t be replicated anywhere else.

From Nashville, you’ll head to Memphis, another musical powerhouse. Memphis is synonymous with Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll. A visit to Memphis wouldn’t be complete without touring Graceland, Elvis’ iconic and luxurious mansion. Explore the rooms where Elvis lived and created music, and see his stunning collection of jumpsuits and gold records. Visit the historic Beale Street whilst in Memphis, lined with clubs and bars, this street has been the starting point for many legendary musicians. The live music here ranges from blues to rock, so no matter what your taste, you are sure to have a great time.

 

Another gem in Memphis is Sun Studio, the birthplace of rock and roll. This iconic recording studio is where Elvis, Johnny Cash, and Jerry Lee Lewis recorded their hits. A guided tour of Sun Studio offers a glimpse into the magic that happened within its walls.

The final destination is New Orleans, Louisiana, the birthplace of jazz. The city’s vibrant music scene is unmatched, with jazz being the heartbeat of New Orleans. From legendary venues to street performances, jazz is everywhere in this lively city.

The French Quarter is a must-visit for anyone. Its unique architecture, combined with the sounds of jazz, creates an unforgettable atmosphere. Enhance your New Orleans experience with an evening jazz cruise on the Mississippi River. Enjoy dinner while listening to live performances and taking in the city’s skyline. Whether you’re a die-hard music fan or a curious traveller, the Deep South’s rich musical heritage is sure to captivate your heart and soul.

Experience boutique beachfront living in Mexico

14 August 2026

For those who like their Caribbean escape with a little more character, The Fives Oceanfront offers boutique luxury right on the beachfront in Puerto Morelos. This former fishing village has kept a noticeably slower pace than some of the Riviera Maya’s larger resorts, with local restaurants, small shops, and the town’s leaning lighthouse all within easy reach. Back at the hotel, the atmosphere is equally laid-back, with contemporary design, plenty of space to switch off, and the Caribbean Sea taking centre stage.

Experience the adventurous side of Turks and Caicos

14 August 2026

This corner of the Caribbean has all the ingredients for an easy Caribbean escape, from the powder-soft sands of Grace Bay to brilliantly clear water made for long afternoons by the sea. But spend a little more time here, and there’s another side to the islands worth exploring. You can kayak through mangroves, snorkel over coral reefs, venture across to North and Middle Caicos, and seek out local food and music back on Providenciales. Better still, these experiences can easily sit alongside slower beach days, giving you a holiday that feels adventurous without needing to be action-packed from morning to night.

Discover the Dolomites, Italy's ultimate mountain escape

14 August 2026

There is another side to Italy beyond its famous cities, coastlines, and lakes. In the north of the country, the Dolomites rise dramatically above alpine meadows, forested valleys, and villages where Italian, Austrian, and Ladin influences come together. Recognised by UNESCO for their exceptional natural beauty and geology, these mountains are made for anyone wanting to spend their days outdoors without giving up the things Italy does so well: beautiful places to stay, long lunches, and excellent wine. Whether you're an experienced hiker or simply like the idea of cable-car rides, gentle walks, and lunch in a mountain hut, here's how to experience the Dolomites your way.
