For the fathers who dream of wide horizons and untouched wilderness, there is no place more stirring than Kenya. The Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club, situated in the shadow of Africa’s second-highest peak, Mount Kenya, offers a delightful combination of rugged adventure and glamorous comfort. Days unfold with game drives through the nearby Ol Pejeta Conservancy – home to the last northern white rhinos on Earth – and guided hikes through the foothills, where the crisp mountain air and untamed terrain call to something primal. By nightfall, return to roaring fires, wholesome food and stories under a sky full of stars.  

If your father finds joy in still waters and quiet patience, a fly-fishing retreat in Scotland is the ticket. Cast your line into the River Tay, famed for its Atlantic salmon and unspoiled beauty. Guided by local experts, he’ll wade into centuries-old traditions, surrounded by the heather-cloaked hills of Scotland. Anchor this experience with a tranquil stay at The Gleneagles Hotel, where classic country estate charm meets five-star services and facilities. Just be sure to take part in the regular whisky tasting – after, rather than before, your round of golf. 

For fathers who live for the long drive and perfect putt, few places rival the prestige of the Marbella Club Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa. Tucked between the Mediterranean Sea and Sierra Blanca mountains, this sun-drenched Spanish haven offers access to a private golf course designed by Dave Thomas. Between tees, indulge in the spa, dine al fresco on Andalusian cuisine or unwind on the beach. With effortless glamour and top-tier sport, this is a masterclass holiday in Mediterranean leisure. 

For the father with a refined palate and a penchant for reds, take him straight to the source: Bordeaux, the heart of French winemaking. Explore the world-renowned châteaux and sip vintages that span centuries. Private cellar tours, vineyard lunches and expert-led tastings provide a deep dive into the art and alchemy of wine. Just be warned, after this trip you may be treated to years of “did-you-know” monologues every time the wine menu gets brought out.
