From glistening bays to craggy cliffsides, the Algarve region on the southern coast of Portugal is sure to please every group. Fly into Faro before heading towards one of the centrally located hotels or driving to one of the smaller communities, such as Aljezur or Salema.

The coast is lined with beaches, bays and rocky alcoves, with surf boards for hire and volleyball nets pitched up during summertime. There are meadow-scattered cliffside pathways to walk along as well as coastal restaurants and local markets serving fresh produce. For the more adventurous, you can also enjoy excursions such as ‘rock pool safari’ or ‘stand-up paddle’. We suggest booking a stay at VILA VITA Parc Resort & Spa, an elegant coastal resort offering a large swimming pool and Michelin-starred dining.

If Brooklyn was a city, it would be the fourth largest in the United States. Following the local motto of ‘Unity makes strength’, the area is a diverse melting pot of cultures, ethnicities, races, and languages. Since its origins as a 17th century Dutch settlement and, later, an industrial centre, Brooklyn has become a unique, forward-thinking borough of New York City.

Today, the warehouses have been converted into breweries, shops, bars and restaurants, while leafy streets are lined with brownstone houses and parks, ports and piers overlook Manhattan. From here, you can also hop on a ferry to Coney Island, admire the views from the Brooklyn Bridge, or learn about Brooklyn’s history in one of the nearby museums. We suggest booking a stay at 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge, a five-star hotel in the centre of Brooklyn Heights featuring eco-friendly works by local artists.

This wildlife-rich country is primed for an adventure-filled group trip. If you travel between July and September, you might be fortunate enough to catch the Great Wildebeest Migration, where you can witness the majestic animals on their annual odyssey across the plains. Key destinations include the Serengeti National Park, which is populated by the “big five” (elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino), and Kilimanjaro National Park, home to Africa’s highest mountain. For an extra special adventure with a twist, you can also hop on a boat to Zanzibar or Mafia, where you can take the wildlife watching underwater. Why not book a stay at the Hyatt Regency Dar es Salaam, The Kilimanjaro, where you can keep on the lookout for wildlife while enjoying the hotel’s pool scene and proximity to the city of Dar es Salaam.
