More often than not, our editors return from trips with hundreds – if not thousands – of photos. As was the case with his recent trip to the South Pacific, Andrew Harper snapped an abundance of beautiful pictures that couldn’t fit into the pages (print or web) of the November 2015 Hideaway Report. Explore the romantic resorts, exotic tropical shores and vibrant culinary delights from Mr. Harper's trip to Fiji and Vanuatu, below.
