The curtains are drawn and a Do Not Disturb sign hangs on the door. It’s nearly afternoon, and I’m in love. My beloved is warm, supportive and dressed in crisp white linen – I’m having a holiday romance with the bed in room 2173 of Mumbai’s Taj Mahal Palace Hotel. After eight weeks roughing it [...]
Does Zinedine Zidane like swimming? Golf? Tennis? Massages? It seems sensible to ask because the former France football captain is hiding out somewhere in the Abama Golf & Spa Resort in Tenerife.

One company, Sherwes Travel, is advertising a three-day, €295 tour of ‘post-war Libya’ that features visits to sites in Tripoli and to the local Roman ruins. ‘On a [...]
