EXPERIENCES
Travel broadens our horizons, helps us see and understand the world beyond and enriches us with meaningful encounters and cherished memories that live on long after we touchdown back home. Whatever it is you are seeking in life, there will be a travel experience that helps you find it! Here is a selection of ideas I have put together to get you thinking and help you decide where to go next.
CITY BREAKS
Take a few days out of your routine and escape to the heart of a country to enjoy immersion in a different culture.
Experience art in Amsterdam or Paris, browse the backstreet boutiques of New York, take tapas and people watch in Barcelona or be awestruck by imperial Roman architecture. Historic Marseilles offers the urban buzz of the metro, the spectacle of a quayside fish market and the proximity of stunning wild beaches just minutes away by train.
A city break gives you a re-set without sacrificing much time or money, leaving you inspired and invigorated. With so many accessible and inviting destinations waiting to be explored, let us help you select the ideal itinerary that allows you to maximise your time there.
BEACH
Humans are drawn to the soothing, restorative energy of the sea, and for complete peace and relaxation, a holiday on a paradise beach is hard to beat.
Find bliss on warm white Caribbean sands where the pristine azure waters lap the shore, idle away contented hours watching the horizon from a Maldavian atol, or dip beneath the surface to marvel at the colourful secrets of the Pacific Ocean. Whether in the Mediterranean or distant oceans, we will choose the best coastal hotels and resorts to suit you.
So if you need a dose of vitamin sea or simply fancy a seashore retreat, we know the very best places to stay.
FAMILY
Travelling with family, especially young children and multigenerational groups, can be as rewarding as it is challenging, the secret is to plan, leave little to chance and choose your destination and accommodation wisely.
If a quiet, safe getaway in a comfortable island villa with plenty of access to snorkelling, sunbathing and sightseeing is your bag, we can offer holidays in some of the most beautiful properties and idyllic locations all over the world.
If you and your gang are eager adventure seekers, want to improve your surfing skills, climb mountains, get up close to wild animals or explore museums and galleries, we are experts in safaris, trekking and tailor-made itineraries to give your family incredible memories and unique travel experiences.

CRUISE
The design and diversity of modern cruise ships, with sophisticated, secure and comfortable on-board accommodation, top chefs and entertainment plus an endlessly alluring choice of destinations, means that a holiday spent sailing the seven seas has never been more appealing than it is today.
Cruise holidays offer the discerning traveller an opportunity to hop between a number of choice locations, fully experiencing a variety of cultures and customs in one trip.
We have close links with some of the very best ships and operators in the industry, with itineraries across wide oceans, polar regions, paradise islands and the smallest of fjords. All you have to do is decide where to start.
SPA
Travel in pursuit of total well-being, relaxation, rejuvenation and transformation comes in the shape of a spa break.
Alone or with a group of friends for a special treat or a celebration, you could take a short visit to one of the world class hotel spas in the UK, make a pampering pilgrimage to an Austrian hillside, or fly away and be massaged to oblivion in blissful Bali.
There is a host of superb packages to choose from whether you want to focus on improving your yoga practice in an ashram, or re-set your gut health and lose a little winter weight in a paradise setting, there are wellness retreats to meet all your needs.
ADVENTURE
Travel in itself is an adventure, but for those in search of a little extra exhilaration we can design packages that deliver all the fun and adrenalin you crave for a truly satisfying adventure.
If a more sedate walking, hiking and biking style holiday is your style, where scenery and pit-stops are as important as the ride, there are spectacular European destinations like The French Dordogne or the Swiss Alps.
For long-haul expeditions such as summiting Himalayan mountain tops or rafting awesome Amazonian rapids we also have links with trusted tour companies that will expertly take care of you and provide all the thrills and spills an adventure holiday can offer.
