Stanley Island
Australia · Australia, NZ & South Pacific
Despite it being a stalwart of Britishness, Stanley more resembles Patagonia than Portsmouth. But, despite the windswept, vast and achingly beautiful landscape of the Falkland Islands, don’t be too surprised to find the odd pub serving ales and even fish’n’chips. While landmarks such as Christ Church Cathedral, with its whalebone arch are 100% local, there is a also good smattering of imported garden gnomes and Union Jacks to remind you whose territory you are really on.

Storstappen Island, Norway
Northern Europe & Baltic
Honningsvåg is Norway’s northernmost town, and one of the smallest, with its population of 2,000 jammed into a mere one square kilometer. Devoid of permafrost, this subarctic region displays scores of colorful mountain landscapes carpeted during the summer in a lush tapestry of grasses and mountain wildflowers. In this truly unique environment, many private village gardens grow trees, despite the shortness of the Arctic summer. Honningsvåg is also the gateway to the northernmost point of continental Europe, the North Cape, or Nordkapp, often referred to as the ‘end of the world.’ Storstappen Island, rising from the sea to a height of 928’ (283 m), is a valuable nature reserve supporting colonies of some 140 great cormorants, 100 European shags, 20,000 black-legged kittiwakes, 5,000 razorbills and an impressive 100,000 puffins. To be here is a truly awe-inspiring sensory experience, viewing thousands of birds flying to and fro overhead at the same time, creating an almost deafening cacophony of sound with their cries and wingbeats.

The Old Market is located in the historic old town, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2002 and is considered the center.
Sur, Oman
Discover magic in the Arabian desert on land, by air or in an oasis of water. Take on towering sand dunes; crash through on a buggy, master sand surfing or soar above sands to hit the skies for a bird’s eye view of the Wahiba Sands desert. Linger at one of the many Oman wadies; Wadi Bani Khalid’s palm-dotted valley escape of pools and caves, Wadi Shab’s deep sandstone gorge lined with turquoise lagoons and at meteor-formed Bimmah Sinkhole for the most luminous waters you ever did see. Witness turtle homes at Ras Al Jinz Reserve, wander the corniche and visit a traditional Omani dhow yard or the domed Lighthouse for sweeping city views. Or simply slope off to where spotless sands meet the Arabian Sea and gently snorkel through turtles, rays and the occasional whale. With its cultural riches, wondrous waters and adventurous surrounds, Sur has a broad appeal.
