Luxury holiday ideas

Sometimes a shared room or a 3 star doesn’t cut it and we all crave a little luxury in our lives. For those holidays when you want to indulge yourself and revel in luxury accommodation as well as learn something new, here’s our pick of the top luxury learning breaks…

1. Eco chic painting holidays in quite possibly the most stunning location in Andalucia, Spain

I’ve been here myself and cannot recommend this place highly enough. It’s simply stunning and one of the best places I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting. The architecture is based on simple design with clean lines, quality natural materials, wide open spaces and a touch of colour that brings life to this glorious house set in a remote natural park bursting with beauty.

And if that’s not enough, the food is delicious and plentiful and better than any London restuarant, the wine flows freely, the service impecable and the painting tuition is second to none. You’ll learn in a friendly, relaxed way from experts with a clear passion for all things creative. You may be lucky enough to stay when a professional artist is in residence like I was as it was a treat to have dinner and chat about art and inspiration and even I felt inspired to paint when I haven’t held a paint brush since primary school!

All of this luxury comes at a reasonable price with a taster weekend under £300 and a week under £900 which includes everything you’ll need so don’t worry about bringing any spending money!
