You may have noticed that we have been a bit quiet lately while we’ve been putting together our latest issue of Travel Dine Relax.
Since we launched the magazine in 2020, we’ve been overwhelmed by the feedback from our readers and we hope that our Spring issue doesn’t disappoint.
Jam packed full of ideas of where to visit, things to do and places to dine along with some inspiring interviews with two talented chefs, there’s something for everyone. So sit back and enjoy the journey.
Spring is in full bloom at the P.F. Chang’s Asian Table this May.
Taking inspiration from the delicate Japanese Sakura flower or cherry blossom, P.F. Chang’s Asian Table have brought back their popular Bloom Room. Decorated in soft pink and white flowers, guests will have a chance to experience Hanami in the centre of Londons West End.
The Bloom Room have created limited-edition cocktails and Japanese desserts all served under the canopy of floral branches. Cocktail options include Strawberry Blossom (£10) made with gin, strawberry, lemon and sugar syrup and the Sakura Punch mocktail (£8) a heavenly mix of strawberry, passion fruit, orange, pineapple and a dash of almond syrup. Partnered with limited-edition desserts to satisfy even the sweetest tooth created by P.F. Chang’s Asian Tables very own Pastry Lab. The Sakura Tree (£8) is an exquisite vanilla cheesecake with hints of citrus, served with cherries, chocolate and shortbread crumbs with cherry sorbet, topped off with a chocolate branch and candy floss.
For macaron-lovers, Helen Clark, the restaurant’s accomplished pastry chef, has created a large matcha and raspberry macaron (£7.50), filled with fresh raspberries and matcha ganache, served with rose ice cream.

Santorini is known as a Greek getaway famous for dramatic views and picture perfect sunsets. It is also home to Canaves Oia Suites set on caldera’s edge in the heart of Oia town. For travellers looking for a Spring Spa escape Canaves Oia Suites provides the perfect setting and offering.
The hotel is styled with minimalist decor with bright and airy suites offering modern facilities and full views of the caldera and the Aegean Sea. Coupled with world-class Canaves Spa this is providing a sought after and must visit Spring break.
The Spa
Once a 17th-century wine cave, Canaves Oia has been transformed into a luxury spa without losing its original charm. It’s undoubtedly a spellbinding hideaway reflecting the beauty and romance of Santorini, with signature treatments offered by an experienced team. A fitness gym and yoga classes are also available at the hotel.
The Treatments
The spa’s treatment menu incorporates the famous Rasul, an oriental experience of “One Thousand and One Nights” with spectacular colours, towering minarets and a deceptively realistic starry sky. Choose from the detoxing Three Coloured Mud Ritual, the nourishing Bali Paradise Experience and the harmonising and balancing Passion for Elderflowers Ritual. Mists of steam, warmth and a fragrance of sweet herbs, float through the Rasul room as guests melt into ergonomic seats and enjoy their chosen treatment. The Rasul Experience is perfect for a couple’s getaway.
Although the Rasul is everything you need to ease into a state of bliss, a selection of facial treatments from the pioneering Swiss cellular cosmetics skincare brand Valmont is on hand to make you feel brand new. The focus on high-performance anti-aging treatments offers instant and long-lasting results of unparalleled quality.
For a top to toe pampering, book the exclusive Relax and Detach Treatment, which starts off with a Bali Paradise Experience, followed by a Full Body Massage using a rich oil blend infused with papaya, lemon and frangipani essences, and complete aftercare. The finishing Valmont Express Facial leaves your inner self beaming with radiance and energy.
Besides the Exclusive Signatures, Face and Body Combinations offer you the best of both worlds. The Absolute Spa Ritual gives you the choice of one of Valmont’s advanced Anti-ageing Facials coupled with a Deep Tissue Massage – an experience of pure relaxation and incredible results.
Once you feel rejuvenated and energised, indulge in one of the hand and foot therapies or even a beauty treatment. Feel revived and ready to spend the rest of your day, enhancing your tan and relaxing by Canaves Oia’s captivating infinity pool.
