45 MARINE MOMENTS There is something delightfully calming about observing the depths of the deep blue. Whether it is snorkeling or serious diving, there is so much to discover beyond the water ripples. An exclusive experience awaits you when you spend four nights at Nuarro Lodge in northern Mozambique, where you don’t need to watch the clock. We suggest you take time out and discover more with a one hour private encounter with one of Mozambique’s top marine scientists in the stunning region of Memba Bay. Otherwise, spend lazy days on crowd free beaches, swinging in a hammock, or with a dreamy massage just meters from the waves. TUB TIME The onsen (natural hot springs) in the Japanese Highlands of Hakone are a picturesque delight. Japanese hospitality brings this natural beauty experience indoors, as some hotels offer special outdoor wooden tubs that allow you to enjoy the onsen in complete privacy. We adore the luxurious and boutique hotel, Gora Kadan, where the architecture wonderfully reflects the serenity of surrounding nature. A tranquil soak in a large wood, stone or rock onsen on your garden terrace complete with breathtakingly majestic views is an ideal way to take time out. The elegant Japanese touches of your spacious room, complete with tatami (woven straw) mats and a comfortable futon, as well as traditional, seasonal Japanese cuisine, provides you with a peaceful yet cultural getaway.
