Unseen Cities that you Must See

As far as a luxury Mexican holiday goes, you’ll be hard pressed to find a more refined offering than the private oasis that is One & Only Palmilla . The epitome of Spanish colonial architecture and style, One & Only Palmilla occupies prime real estate along the coast line, a 30-minute drive from the hustle and bustle of Cabo San Lucas, thus offering its own oasis.

I’m lying in a tub of bliss on the rugged East Coast of Tasmania, feeling a world away from reality and civilisation.
