Just off the beaten track, make a beeline for Thirty Seven Gozo, a stunning boutique hotel that offers yoga, massages and organic food. Dive into the sparkling Mediterran­ean Sea for snorkellin­g, kayaking and swimming or stay on dry land for some mountainbi­king or horse-riding and swoon at the views. Now that’s a bucket-list destinatio­n.
