With rooftop bars, wild swimming, festivals and al fresco dining spots, London in the Summer is a special place to be.

Eat: Head to Gold in Notting Hill for a glass of something chilled and a bite to eat on their stunning garden terrace. You’ll find produce-led European dishes cooked in wood ovens and a late-night bar.

Stay: The city can get a little stifling, and at times like these there’s nothing for it but to seek out the nearest pool – preferably with a stay at White City House with a Picante in hand.

Wilde city essential: The Eye Believe Eye Serum is the ultimate jet lag secret. This beautiful eye serum is packed to the brim with depuffing and firming ingredients and the cooling metal applicator is a godsend for tired and well-travelled undereyes.

When I think of Provence I am already in a book, a fictional novel by Phoebe Wynn depicting generations of family holidays in the South of France, eating under the olive trees until the early hours with the accompanying sound of the cicadas. With its quaint villages and rolling vineyards full of rose wine (Mirabeau of course – my brother and sister-in-law's wine) coupled with the beautiful beaches – Provence is a magical place to be in the Summer months.

Eat: La Table Saint-Roux, head here if you’re looking for an eco-aware, farm-to-table eating experience with home-made delights from fresh seasonal produce. Enjoy Chef Guillaume Rigaudias’ gourmet, family-style cuisine, concocted according to the day’s organic harvest, market fare and inspirations.

This Southern Italian coastline is known for its rugged, winding roads that stretch from the Bay of Naples including Ravello, Amalfi and my favourite village of Positano, where the classic movie ‘Beat the Devil’ was made in 1953 with Humphrey Bogart and Jennifer Jones.

Drink: Naturally the food here is spectacular with fresh fish and seafood literally fished on your doorstep, to the best Pizza from Naples. Franco's is a must. A contemporary al fresco bar in Positano, Amalfi Coast with an old-fashioned, quality-first drinks menu; a place for amore, for friends and for a post-swim aperitif.

Stay: This unspoilt part of Italy is both dynamic and romantic and inspired artists and artisans from far and wide to bask in its stunning climate and be inspired by the dramatic landscape. My absolute favourite places to stay is the Monastero Santa Rosa. 

Do: Spend a day at sea along the Amalfi Coast. Set sail from the coastline of Amalfi to Capri, passing by the Li Galli islets and stopping for a stroll through the towns of Positano and Amalfi.

Wilde city essential: Advanced Supercell Serum – light daily moisturiser, perfect for soothing salty, sun-drenched skin.

Away from the small pockets of foam parties and glow sticks, Ibiza has taken on a totally new vibe of Uber-chic urban hippy.

Eat: El Bigotes in hidden cove Cala Mastella. Booking is in person only, feast on fish caught that morning while sipping chilled Alberino by the sparkling sea.

Stay: The newly opened Six Senses.

Read: Tony Pike Rules for Life. Tony Pike was an Ibiza icon, setting up Pikes Hotel in the late 1970’s so that he and his friends could dance under the stars. Tony led his life with principles of positivity, fun, determination and big dreams. You have a choice how you show up in life, as well as a responsibility not to dim your light just to not upset or intimidate people. Live large, shine bright, and inspire people to do the same.

Wear: Numero74 jumpsuit, Born in the Sun headband.

Dance: Blue Marlin. Nestled in a cove on Cala Jondal is the Blue Marlin. Luxurious day club with beautiful music, and beautiful people.
