Los Cabos, Mexico, Canto Del Mar, Chef Thierry Dufour
There are no printed menus at Canto del Mar. That’s because Chef Thierry Dufour relies on only the freshest ingredients, stocked daily, to create the dishes served in the cozy 20-seat eatery at Marquis Los Cabos Beach, Golf, Spa and Casitas Resort in Los Cabos, Mexico. Depending upon Dufour’s vision for any given evening, a memorable dining experience at Canto del Mar may include West Indian pumpkin cream with escargot ravioli and prosciutto duck ham, duck consommé with morels, red snapper fillet with freshwater crayfish in an orange-rosemary infusion, lamb fillet medallions marinated in spices, and hazelnut macaroons with tarragon cream and blackberries.

The Island of the Knights
Welcome to Rhodes, a medieval treasure beautifully preserved throughout the centuries. Rhodes is the capital of the Dodecanese, an island ideal not only for those who want to relax, but also for those looking for an action-packed holiday! With its bright green hills, rich green valleys and uninterrupted line of golden beaches, Rhodes is truly a blessed place. “The sun island” has more sunshiny days and milder temperatures throughout the year than any other location in Greece. It is, after all, one of the country’s easternmost places and among the first to welcome summer on its impressive beaches. Add in the excellent facilities for tourism, the island’s special blend of cosmopolitan and traditional, and numerous cultural and archaeological sites, the most important being the Medieval (Old) Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and you’ve got the perfect holiday destination. While on Rhodes, don’t miss a daytrip to nearby Sými. An island of sponge divers and seamen, Sými used to have 30,000 inhabitants before the Second World War and was the richest island in the Dodecanese, despite its small size. Today, Sými attracts many visitors thanks to its beautifully preserved Neo-Classical buildings and the famous Archangel Michael monastery at Panormitis.
Sydney: Southern Cross
Vibrant, contemporary Sydney — a bustling business center for the vast Asian-Pacific market — boasts one stunning amenity: 34 beaches 20 minutes from the city center. That makes Sydney a spectacular leisure city where you can cruise the harbor, ride ocean waves and savor fresh lobster at a boisterous sidewalk cafe or in solitude on a golden sand dune.
