To celebrate the launch of the seventh Mr & Mrs Smith Hotel Collection book which covers South-East Asia, I have FIVE to give away! The Smith books are beautiful, full of amazing photographs and well-written reviews. They make for compulsive reading for people like me who sit and daydream about holidays (I like to call this ‘Travel-Porn’), but are also invaluable if you are planning a luxurious trip to a far-flung destination.

I’m a little bit obsessed with Mr & Mrs Smith, so you’ll have to excuse my gushing here, but they do handpick the most delightful places to stay – I have been booking through them for years and have always been impressed. Their website is my first point-of-call whenever I’m booking a holiday or business trip and I have recommended them to people over and over again. They have an amazing membership card called BlackSmith – read all about it here if you haven’t already!

If you’re not yet in the luxury holiday mood then just immerse yourself for a moment in the photo below before reading on:

Ah. That’s better, isn’t it? I can just picture myself lying there with a cocktail, reading a paperback and basting myself with olive oil!  If you would like to win one of FIVE newly published South-East Asia books – which each include a SIX MONTH BLACKSMITH MEMBERSHIP! – then follow the simple instructions below!
