Top 5 Easter Destinations 2023

SCOTLAND | The Kingdom of the Highlands

Scotland is a land of lions, from its shields to its mountains. Fierce, agile and with a beauty that one is only able to understand when one comes face to face with her. It is seen in its people, warrior poets who walk with a song on their lips and a burning fire in their hearts, ready to welcome and receive the stranger who visits them.

It is noticeable in its Highlands, which are lost above the clouds and linger as a remnant of those giants who carved them eons ago. It is felt in its dark stone cities and its landscapes with whiskey rivers where the winds, rather than whistling, roar.

Here are our recommendations for your private trip to Scotland:

NUBA Experiences

• Stay in an imposing 19th century Victorian-style mansion in the very heart of the Scottish Highlands , and be part of the project of protection and reintroduction of endangered wildlife that they carry out there.
• Fly over the spectacular scenery that stretches along the southern tip of Loch Lomond, aboard a unique seaplane, observing from the air the islands that mark the Highland border fault line, before heading north to see the incredible Arrochar Alps.
• Travel to the remote archipelago of St. Kitts and Nevis. You can visit St. Kilda to learn all its secrets; spot minke whales and dolphins along the way, fly over the different islands by helicopter, explore a biosphere reserve with a naturalist to discover the birds that inhabit it, or visit the abandoned village of the Kildans to learn about their history.

For even more exclusivity, stay at The Gleneagles Hotel and enjoy Scotland’s only 2 Michelin star restaurant.

NORWAY : Immaculate nature

Only when the sky explodes in greens and violets, and a myriad of white stretches before your eyes, do you understand that you have arrived in the far north, where distances seem to lose importance.
