Sometimes the kind of trip comes before the place. Start with what you want the time to feel like, and we will suggest where does it best.
  1. A wooden boardwalk leading between white overwater villas across a calm Maldives lagoon under a soft pastel evening sky

    Honeymoons

    A first trip together planned around how you both like to spend a day, not a list of places to tick off

    Where it works best: Maldives, Seychelles, St Lucia and Bora Bora

  2. A lone acacia tree silhouetted against a golden sunset over the Serengeti plains in Tanzania

    Safari

    The right camp, the right month and the right guide, so the animals you most want to see are there when you are

    Where it works best: Botswana, Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda

  3. Pale sand and clear turquoise shallows on Grace Bay Beach, Providenciales, running to a level sea horizon under drifting cloud

    Beach escapes

    Warm water, soft sand and a room close to both, matched to the month you can travel and the way you like to rest

    Where it works best: Maldives, Seychelles, Mauritius and Turks and Caicos

  4. The five towers of Angkor Wat and its palm-lined causeway reflected in the still moat pond under a clear blue sky, Cambodia

    Culture and heritage

    Temples, ruins, medinas and old cities, seen early, with a guide who knows them, before the crowds arrive

    Where it works best: Japan, India, Cambodia and Jordan

  5. The granite spires of Fitz Roy glowing orange at sunrise above the dark Patagonian steppe near El Chaltén, Argentina

    Adventure

    Glaciers, trails, volcanoes and ice, with a comfortable bed at the end of the day and a guide who knows the ground

    Where it works best: Iceland, New Zealand, Chile and Argentina

  6. Still turquoise water of Lake Louise in Banff National Park reflecting forested slopes and the glacier beyond

    Family holidays

    Trips that work for every age at once, with sensible flights, space to spread out and something for everyone each day

    Where it works best: South Africa, Costa Rica, Mauritius and USA

  7. Forested hills rising above calm Lake Ashi in Hakone, Japan, with the red torii of Hakone Shrine at the water's edge

    Wellness and spa

    Rest that works: Ayurveda in Kerala, hot springs in Japan and alpine air, planned around what you want to come back with

    Where it works best: India, Sri Lanka, Bali and Thailand

  8. Aerial view of a green Seychelles island fringed by white sand and a wide turquoise lagoon

    Ultra luxury

    Private islands, whole villas to yourselves, your own guide and plane: travel with nobody else on the schedule
