In The Independent Beth Adamson and Simon Calder offer up the Traveller’s Guide To: Antigua which has a “distinctly English feel…with its narrow streets and quaint villages.” Antigua is best known for “its beaches and its cricketers” and its celebrity guests, “But it is not just for the super-rich: the greatest allure of the island is that every beach on the island is open to the public.”

“Dubai may be in debt to the tune of $84 billion and not be opening a hotel a minute any more, but there’s still plenty of life left in the Emirate,” says Dominic Ellis in The Times. In Dubai: the insider’s guide Ellis reveals what’s new in Dubai – from hotels, restaurants and attractions…and a vital piece of Dubai news: A Waitrose has opened.

“If Copenhagen needs a model, this is the most eloquent I know, a visionary example of reforestation and the long term benefits it bring,” writes Jane Owen on Cuba’s green revolution in The Guardian. Staying in Las Terrazas, 50km from Havana, Owen reveals that “This is Castro’s Eden, a paradise he dreamt up soon after the revolution in 1959, when he ordered a reforestation programme.”

Carola Hoyos and her husband discover Puglia for couples in the Financial Times – a child-free long weekend in the heel of Italy staying in the Masseria Torre Maizza. “…despite a recent rise in popularity, Puglia has yet to become as touristy as its richer northern neighbours Tuscany and Umbria.”

“Sitting on the veranda, looking out across lush rice paddy fields and jungle-clad mountains, I was struck that we had found the kind of “away from it all” that so many people profess to want,” writes Rhymer Rigby in the Financial Times whilst on A Borneo family holiday. “Nowadays, such isolation from the steady hum of the information highway can be disconcerting. But, after an hour or so, you start to realise that it’s actually pretty cool. No phone, no BlackBerry, no e-mail and virtually nothing to buy. Bario is a retreat from the consumerist modern world.”
