This title showcases only the most luxurious properties throughout the region. A perfect reference book for the uber luxury traveller....
An array of 1,000 stunning photographs narrate 342 top-tier properties such as Cap Estel, French Riviera; Banyan Tree Desert Spa & Resort, Al Areen, Bahrain; and The Ritz Carlton, Wolfsburg, Germany.
My personal favourite location mentioned in this book is Gidleigh Park Chagford, Devon. Beautiful setting and wonderful food under the direction of Michelin star chef Michael Caines. A must visit location if you’re visiting the UK.
Overnight sensations retails for a very reasonable £50 ($100).
Got a spare £25m knocking about and fancy yourself as a pop star, racing car driver or serial playboy?
Then the Bombardier Global Express XRS ultra long-range business jet could well be for you. This is the world’s most expensive private jet and can travel up to 6,150 nautical miles at a cruise speed of Mach 0.85, and 5,450 nm.

Dubai have come up with another eye catching development to add to their burgeoning tourist offering. It comes in the form of a new $1 billion Jurassic theme park called Restless Planet. The park will include 109 animatronic dinosaurs from over 40 species, all to be housed in a 500,000 square foot (46,000 square metre) area. The park will be part of a large entertainment and business development called City of Arabia.
The Restless Planet will be brought to life with the help of Natural History Museum of London, acclaimed dinosaur authority Jack Horner and Tokyo based animatronics team Kokoro. All the exhibits will be enclosed in a vast 75 metre dome.
Billed as the first of it’s kind, this place is sure to wow visitors in a big way…

After a protracted battle, Donald Trump has finally been given approval for his Scottish £1 billion ($2 billion) golf resort.
The approval for Trump International Golf Links application was given by Aberdeenshire Council’s Formartine area committee.
The development will include the construction of two championship 18-hole golf courses, a five-star hotel, a golf academy, 950 holiday homes and 500 private houses at the 1,400 acre site near Balmedie in Aberdeenshire.
Whilst there are environmental concerns attached to the project, it is estimated that the economic benefits could amount to £60 milllion ($120 million) per annum and evoke the creation of 6,000 jobs.
