Sarah Feyling is a wedding planner and the managing director of Couture Events in Dubai Media City. If home is where the heart is, then I want to make my home in the south of France. One of my favourite restaurants for lunch is Les Remparts in the La Chevre d'Or Hotel. Located between Nice and Monaco in the picturesque village of Eze, this restaurant is a tiny slice of gastronomic heaven. The superb menu is only overshadowed by the setting. Lunch is served under white parasols with unrivalled views down to the sea (@email:www.chevredor.com, +33 49 210 6666).

I am a novice skier at best. Four- year-old children pass me when I'm out on the slopes. However, I do enjoy skiing in Lech, and the gourmet refuge Frozen, should be a mandatory part of any adult beginner's lesson. Perched high in the Arlberg slopes, its interior is constructed entirely of ice, and the frozen Swarovski crystal bars make it a unique venue that is a must while skiing in Austria (@email:www.frozenlech.com, +43 5583 41825).

Whether I am in Bangkok for business or pleasure, I always make a point of going to the Sirocco restaurant in State Tower. It is outdoors and located on the 63rd floor, which makes the views of Bangkok spectacular. A golden dome dominates the background, which is further highlighted by the incredible live jazz band. It's simply stunning (@email:www.thedomebkk.com, +66 2 624 9555). Las Vegas for me is all about entertainment. I am a huge fan of the theatre and musicals. I thoroughly enjoyed Eau by Cirque du Soleil at the Bellagio Hotel (www.bellagio.com, +888 987 6667).

Monaco, playground of the rich and famous, is renowned for being a costly destination. However, the Columbus Hotel is exceptional value for its rates. It isn't the Hotel de Paris, but it certainly denotes what Monte Carlo is famous for: luxury, glamour and plenty of celebrities. (@email:www.columbushotels.com, +37 79 205 9000). I can only describe this place as a temple of relaxation. This is what one might believe is heaven on earth and where tranquillity is inescapable: the spa at Coco Palm Bodu Hithi in the Maldives (www.inluxury.co.uk).

I lived in Sicily before coming to Dubai and Taormina is still one of my favourite places in the world. The San Domenico Palace Hotel is a former 14th century monastery and has a perfect balance of old-world elegance and modern-day comfort, encased in air of romance (@email:www.thi.it, +39 011 515 1911). Think of a shop that resembles iconic Hollywood glamour, stocked with just about everything you want and even does its gift wrapping better than Harrods at Christmas. For me, it's Les True Follies in Portofino, Italy. The store is home to the most exquisite girlie gifts that I have ever seen.

Why does the perfect dress always come with a designer price tag? For a designer look at a more reasonable price, Ideas tailoring on Beach Road Dubai is a must. They will replicate any dress beyond your expectations and their attention to detail is unmatched. Looking for a weekend break from Dubai? Want to arrive in style? Then Six Senses Hideaway at Zighy Bay in Oman is beyond compare. It's not just another exclusive resort; this hotel is a secluded hideaway that can be reached by hang-gliding in. I never thought I would live to say that it is an amazing feeling jumping off a cliff (@email:www.sixsenses.com, +26735555).

Al Majlis and Caviar Bar in the Emirates Palace hotel is the perfect venue for an informal lunch meeting. For me, it's the combination of efficient staff, an appetising menu and the intimate atmosphere which won me over. I've been a regular ever since I discovered it (@email:www.emiratespalace.com, 02 690 9000).
