Why go
The glacier-cut landscape cradled within Wales’s Cambrian Mountains is beautiful during the day, but for many, it’s all about the night. Whether explored solo or on one of the privately owned estate’s events, this wild haven in the heart of the country is an International Dark Sky Park — one of just 10 in the UK recognised for their phenomenal night skies. It isn’t the stargazing alone that draws more than 200,000 people to the valley every year — when dawn breaks, there’s a new world of hiking trails, architectural heritage and pristine landscapes to discover. elanvalley.org.uk

MALDIVES
An archipelago of 1,192 coral islands and 26 turquoise atolls looping across the Indian Ocean, the Maldives is home to resorts that cater to every imaginable taste, from barefoot escapes to designer digs. The most convenient to reach are located in the South Malé, North Malé and Vaavu atolls, within speedboat distance of Velana International Airport, while more remote atolls are accessible by seaplane or domestic flight. With easy access to the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Baa and Raa are especially popular. Those around the Equator, including Gaafu Alifu, offer a splendid sense of isolation, abundant marine life and brilliantly starry night skies.
