LIFE’S PLEASURES

We love exploring up-and-coming places, but it’s always a treat to head somewhere that we know will be downright fabulous. In the archetypal leisure destination of the French Riviera, we visited the idyllic countryside outside Saint-Tropez, where we stayed undercover at two contrasting resorts. More palm trees greeted us in the British Virgin Islands, where we compared two hideaways that had undergone post-hurricane overhauls. We expected them to be close competitors. We were wrong. And one of the few places as glittering as the French Riviera is star-studded Beverly Hills, where we tested out an urban resort in the pedestrian-friendly Golden Triangle. Look also in this issue for a roundup of luxury expedition cruises around the world.
