South America is Exsus' top pick for a once-in-a-lifetime luxury holiday or honeymoon.

Europe is a continent of exquisite diversity, blessed with some of the world's most dramatic coastline yet also offering wonderful safe sand beaches for families, offering Michelin-starred restaurants or the simplest freshest cuisine, home to historic buzzing cities and quaint traditional villages.

From honeymoons and luxury holidays in Costa Rica to Panama, travel in Central America is all about colour: Caribbean blue, jungle green, sunset orange, chilli red. Bubbling amber lava spills down volcanoes; delicate pink and yellow coral lie beneath turquoise seas; parrots, toucans and quetzals ruffle their multi-coloured feathers, and emerald rainforest camouflages Mayan temples. Then there’s the people, who paint their houses pink, blue and red, dress in an intricately embroidered rainbow, and shop in markets where colours explode. A honeymoon or luxury adventure holiday to Mexico and Central America is a treat to the senses. We’d hate you to miss it.

For the simple pleasures of sun, sea and sand, it’s hard to beat luxury holidays or a honeymoon in the Caribbean. With people so laid-back they’re practically horizontal, you’ll soon find yourself slowing right down to join them, coming to a comfortable halt on a sun lounger with warm waters lapping at your feet. If you can drag yourself to a standing position, try island hopping to see just how many ways there are to relax at our handpicked selection ofluxury hotels in the Caribbean.

Luxury Indian Ocean holidays are perfect when all you want to do is stop.

If you want a truly exotic escape that’s a treat for all the senses, North Africa and The Middle East tick just about every box for family adventures, holidays and honeymoons. Morocco, Dubai, and Oman enjoy year round sunshine and boast a treasure trove of opulent hotels. Hop on a direct flight, and you’ll soon find yourself in a beautiful walled riad, a shimmering skyscraper with seven-star service, or – if you’re feeling nomadic – a luxury desert camp.

Antarctica and Arctic travel offer the definitive luxury adventure holiday experience. These are the last frontiers: remote, desolate and seriously exciting. A polar expedition takes in fabulous wildlife (remember: polar bears in the north, penguins in the south), Inuit communities surviving harsh Arctic climes and isolated research stations in frozen wastelands. Polar summer days are long. The sun sets after midnight and rises again a few hours later over enormous icebergs, painting ice and sky with breathtakingly beautiful colours. Antarctica trips and tours and Arctic Circle travel were once the preserve of only the most intrepid explorers: now anybody with a spirit of adventure can take to the icy seas.
