Remember your last holiday? How getting it on in the bedroom was such a natural part of your relaxed day, and you had all the time in the world to savour the taste of salt on your lover’s skin? This weekend, recreate a little of what makes holiday sexy times so special.

- Leave work and life stress behind – turn your phone to silent, unplug the TV, and banish the laptop to the back of the cupboard.

- Clear the bedroom clutter. Aim for a tranquil environment like a bungalow on the beachfront, with freshly laundered sheets to roll around on.

- Indulge in some sensuous tongue-tickling tastes like chilled slices of watermelon, artichokes to peel layer by layer, or freshly squeezed orange juice with a dash of island spirits if that’s to your taste.

- Dress to undress in silky sleep shorts, or a sarong that slips off with that first steamy kiss.

Most importantly, allow a little extra time to fall into a doze and wake up tangled in each other’s limbs. Now that’s a holiday!
