This is the Greece you imagine in your dreams. Piercingly blue seas, white, curved buildings and sheer cliffs combine to give Mystique Hotel and its surroundings a surreal beauty.
The 18 suites are spread over 2,000 cliffside square metres, and each one is built into the snowy white stone. There's a rustic vibe, but paired with all the luxuries you'll need - from flat-screen TVs to jacuzzis and in-room gyms - and you may find it hard to leave your suite after an evening spent on your private terrace taking in the sea air puts you into a near catatonic state of relaxation.
While anyone will enjoy a few nights in this spot - it's only two minutes walk up steep steps from the small, exclusive village of Ola, after all - it really is built for romance. From the candlelit dinners at restaurant Charisma, to the in-room spa treatments, the yacht charter and the peaceful infinity pool, Mystique is a honeymoon waiting to happen.
Wake up to a complimentary breakfast - try the strawberry and basil smoothie - go for a morning bike ride or a sojourn in a yacht, opt for an afternoon's massage and then perhaps end the day with a tasting of indigenous grapes in the wine cave. Basically, just relax…

The Rooftop Bar, Brisbane, Australia
This gorgeous city in Queensland boasts balmy nights all year round, which is why a rooftop bar that specialises in tasty tapas is such a good idea. On the top of the famous, fashion-forward Limes Hotel, the bar looks out over Fortitude Valley and takes on a different persona every night. On Thursdays you'll find a live jazz band; on Sunday afternoons flip-flop-clad clientele play ping pong, while on Tuesdays there are cinema screenings - at the moment they're playing Horrible Bosses. Well worth a visit.

Boxpark, Shoreditch, London
Nestled in the too-cool-for-school East London suburb of Shoreditch is the "world's first pop-up mall" - which is essentially 60 cargo containers, painted black, arranged like a village, with each housing a shop until the end of the year only. There are big brands who are embracing their edgy side - Nike's motion censor wall that creates a light installation from your movements is a highlight - but there are also one-off shops from independent labels who take advantage of the cheap rents that go hand-in-hand with shipping-container chic.
