New in our May issue: organic spas in New Zealand and Australia, a destination spa in California, a hidden gem in Plettenberg Bay on South Africa’s Garden Route and much more …
Luxury Spas
We’ve launched our new
Luxury
Spa section and will be bringing you an indulgent selection of the most sublime spas during the year as exotic spa destinations are taking the world by storm. We are watching the idyllic new-generation spas that are sophisticated in both design and architecture, making them a feast for the eyes as well as the senses.
This month, we focus on two special spas with an organic, holistic philosophy:
Matakauri Lodge near Queenstown, New Zealand, and the Australian day spa
LI’TYA, winner of the prestigious SpaAsia Crystal Award (the Oscars of spa awards) for Best Day Spa.
Ever wanted to live the spa lifestyle?

Plettenberg Bay
Michelle Snaddon visits Plettenberg Bay on South Africa’s
Garden Route. Not only did she discover world-class restaurants but also found a hidden gem or two.
Bay
Lodge is a boutique hotel with only six beautiful suites and a private roof terrace that’s hard to leave. For those who can’t wait for our in-depth feature, email
editor@justtheplanet.com for her little black book.
For the romantic at heart:

Romantic
India with Denise Hummel and experience
the luxury of its top hotels as her anniversary
vacation with her photographer husband, Steve Hummel,
takes her through Delhi, Agra and some of the majestic
cities of Rajasthan: Jaipur, Jodhpur and Udaipur.
Safaris
Next up is our Safari section which will take you to the best of the best out there. We know that there’s nothing quite like a few nights around a fire under the stars - especially at one of Africa’s luxurious leading lodges – to put one in a holiday mood.
Later this month
Keep an eye out for the launch of our new section
Gourmet Travel. We’re in touch with a world of foodies out there who know that you love browsing in markets and delis in new cities, and often wish you could do a cookery course before you return home.
We know that you need to know where to book for that important business dinner, or where the locals enjoy the best food. Feel free to email us with your favourites on
