Ant and Dec, Lennon and McCartney, strawberries and cream?…. Somethings are just better when together. We take a look at some of our favourite property combos that, when combined, create a truly pair-fect holiday.

1. Fazenda Catucaba & Pousada Picinguiba (Brazil)
‘Authentic farm-stay & boutique fishing village guest house’
Fazenda Catucaba is a beautiful country estate surrounded by protected forests. What used to be a 450 hectare coffee farm, the main house was built in 1850 and guest accommodation is in three villas set in the grounds. The organic food here is fantastic.
Pousada Picinguaba is a small boutique property located in a quiet bay, in the heart of the Mata Atlântica Natural Park, in the small fishing village of Picinguaba. The simple rooms have views of the ocean and the forest. The swimming pool is breath-taking!
Getting between properties: three hour transfer by road.

2. Blancaneux & Turtle Inn (Belize)
‘Rainforest & reef’
Francis Ford Coppola’s writing hideway, Blancaneux Lodge is set within the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve and is surrounded by pine trees and has its own orchid trail. There are 20 luxurious bungalows and villas, an outdoor pool, organic gardens and two restaurants. The lodge can arrange hiking to a nearby waterfall and caves. Free bikes are also available to explore the surroundings.
Turtle Inn is a beachfront property located just outside the small fishing village of Placencia. One and two bedroom thatched cottages are decorated exquisitely with Asian furnishings and textiles. There is also a pool, bar, spa and dive shop.
Getting between properties: three hour transfer by road.

3. Tierra Atacama & Tierra Patagonia (Chile)
‘Northern desert & southern peaks’
Tierra Atacama is a stylish desert hideaway and sits in five rugged acres, punctuated by waving pampas grass and giant cacti, with the Licancabur volcano and Salt Mountains as a dramatic backdrop. The 32 bedrooms are beautiful: adobe walls, private terraces, outdoor showers and volcano views; meals in the restaurant are refined and varied. But it’s the desert adventures you’ll come here for: hikes and bike rides to salt flats studded with pink flamingos, turquoise lagoons, spurting geysers and the other-worldly Moon Valley.
Tierra Patagonia is a beautiful eco-hotel that brilliantly blends into the pristine steppe landscapes of Torres del Paine National Park. The 40 stylish rooms are an ode to nature, with cow-skin rugs and bare-wood walls; enormous bathtubs are perfectly placed to gaze at the extraordinary wild surroundings as you soak. Every day, local guides lead small-group adventures through the park: hiking along the giant glaciers, kayaking across mirror-glass lagoons and biking or horse riding through pine forests, as condors soar above in the bluest of skies.
Getting between properties: two hour transfer by road to Calama Airport. Fly via Santiago to Punta Arenas or Puerto Natales. It is then a four or two hour transfer by road depending on the airport.
