Luxury Life Prague's editor has prepared a list of the perfect destinations she has tried on her own! Where should you go to return rested, full of energy, beautifully tanned and smiling back to the Czech Republic? To Puerto Rico, United Arab Emirates, Thail Koh Kradan, Singapore or far-away Australia!
Would you like to get really far away from Christmas? Go to the other side of the globe and travel to Western Australia. You will not be bored! The city of Perth gives you an incredible spectacle with a mix of styles. You can see a skyscraper and a few steps next to it a historic church. West of Perth there is the beautiful island of Rottnest, where you find Quokk, a cute kangaroo and the happiest animal in the world. What is the best way to travel through Australia? Rent a car for camping and visit national parks. The absolute speciality is Cape Le Grand, where in the Lucky Bay you can find the wild and tame kangaroos.
Editorial Tip: Order a helicopter flight over the Cape Le Grand national park and the Hillier pink lake for approximately AUD 300.
Singapore is a perfectly clean place. If you take a fancy to a chewing gum, you are unlucky –it is not possible to buy it here. As in the United Arab Emirates, luxury and boutiques of the most exclusive brands like Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Gucci or Chanel can also be found in Singapore. Singapore has low criminality and people here are especially polite. Do you know how people get on the subway? The stand in a row!
Editorial Tip: Come to Sentosa Island, where you can relax and enjoy a lot of activities. The island can be seen from the bird perspective in the cable car and when you get saturated by the view, go to see a movie park with the scenes and attractions of Universal Studios Singapore.

If you want undisturbed relaxation and rest, head to the little island of Koh Kradan in the south of Thailand. Koh Kradan has an area of only 240 hectares and is located near the more famous islands of Koh Lanta, Koh Muk, Koh Ngai or Koh Libong. It is an island without roads, villages, ATMs, conveniences... Here, you will not be disturbed by anything! You can look forward to beautiful sea with rich sea life, white sand, wooden swings and pleasant residents who will be happy to meet your wishes whenever possible.
Editor's Tip: Take a short and adventurous trip through the jungle to Sunset Beach, where you can see a beautiful sunset. And when you get hungry on your way back, stop at one of the restaurants and order Som tam – a spicy salad of unripe papaya that is typical for Thailand.
Are you a lover of nature and wild temperament? You must definitely visit Puerto Rico. A great number of American lives here, so you can use not only Spanish, but also English. If you visit the capital city of San Juan, you will see the beautiful part of Old Town full of colourful fairy tale houses. Then head to the island of Culebra and Flamenco beach, which is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Aside from beautiful nature, there are cheerful inhabitants who love fun and unbelievable good cocktails.
Editorial Tip: Do you want to try a local specialty? Taste the Caribbean conch soup, with water snail as the main ingredient!
The United Arab Emirates is the place where you meet luxury almost everywhere. The UAE definitely belongs to the most open and tolerant Muslim countries and shorts or short dress is no taboo here. Our favourite destination is Abu Dhabi where you can admire beautiful mosques. In the mosques, naturally, you should avoid short sleeves, trousers and skirts.
Editor’s Tip: If you visit Abu Dhabi, we recommend seeing the beautiful private island of Zaya Nurai, where you can enjoy privacy, rooftop pools and beautiful beaches.
