The Grand Sirenis is a luxury resort in Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula that I loved so much that I have actually been there on three different holidays! Yes, it is fair to say that I am a regular. But it isn’t just the resort that I love so much, but the area as well. I truly […]

Lyngen North: Northern Lights, Fjords and Fogbows

September 14, 2018June 21, 2020 Priya Florence Shah 28 Comments

The Northern lights danced above our heads, cascading across the clear autumn sky in an explosion of green and purple. As they raced in an arc across the heavens, the lights waxed and waned, and I gave up trying to use a tripod in my effort to catch something of them before they completely vanished. […]

India for Introverts: 5 Destinations To Avoid The Crowds And Follow Your Bliss

August 3, 2018June 6, 2020 Priya Florence Shah 35 Comments

One of the biggest complaints I hear from foreigners who travel to India is that the crowds and noise can be distressing. This can be even more overwhelming if you’re an introvert, like me. People and noise drain my energy and tire me out very quickly. But India is not all crowds, noise and beggars. […]

A Weekend At Treasure Island Resort, Lonavala

July 23, 2018September 16, 2018 Priya Florence Shah 10 Comments

The mist rolled down over the hills, green and wet with the rain. Little waterfalls burst forth from the verdant foliage as we drove past on the expressway from Pune to Lonavala. Treasure Island Resort, Lonavala, is just on the outskirts of Lonavala town. You have to pass another toll naka (post) and a few […]

Destination Poovar: An Island Resort For The Incurable Beach Lover

March 13, 2018September 19, 2018 Arun Chitnis Leave a comment

This belief is, to some extent, justified – in terms of getting its tourism act together, Goa still rules. However, tourist orientation alone does not a perfect destination make… […]

March 9, 2018July 12, 2020 Priya Florence Shah 17 Comments

In early March 2018, just after my child’s board exam was done, we took a short trip to Club Mahindra’s Sherwood Mahabaleshwar resort for a much-needed break.
