1001 escapes to experience before you die / general editor, Helen Arnold ; preface by Catherine Fairweather.

A Quintessence book.

Vacation travelers seeking truly unusual destinations and unforgettable experiences will find a wealth of ideas in this book. A compilation of amazing escapes from the madding crowd like contemplating sunset from a minimalist mountain retreat, cruising the Nile on a nineteenth-century cabin cruiser, hiring a forth with its own private beach, chilling-out in a hotel, or wallowing in a mud bath. It also shows some hidden places located in some of the world's biggest and busiest cities that offer the perfect retreat from the city life such as oasis from Djemma El Fna, the pulsating center of Marrakech, the walled garden in London's Chelsea and the hidden treehouse within Amazon rainforest.
