Weddings

Over the years we have arranged a lot of weddings abroad, Mauritius, the Caribbean, Sri Lanka, on a cruise ship and nearer to home Italy, Cyprus and even Lapland to name some of our favourite destinations. You can combine your special day with two centres incorporating your honeymoon too by island hopping in the Caribbean or Mauritius with South Africa.

You will be appointed a wedding co-ordinator in resort who will take care of all the legal requirements needed to make your day as memorable as possible. You can normally stipulate where you wish your wedding to take place, be it on the beach at sunset, in a pagoda in a tropical garden or even a beautiful little chapel.

If you wish guests to join you, we can arrange for them to stay in a different hotel to give you the privacy to enjoy your first few days together as man and wife.

Not forgetting the already married couples, we can arrange for you to renew your wedding vows virtually any where in the world, now including the beautiful islands of the Maldives.

If you are thinking of tying the knot give us a call and let us take some of the stress away to make your day as special as possible.

If your guests are stuck for a gift idea, why not ask them to contribute to your wedding or honeymoon where we have a gift voucher scheme available.

Longhaul

We all know the world is getting smaller and longhaul destinations are more accessible than ever.

If you decide to travel longhaul why stay in one place, why not travel around the country - we can tailor make an itinerary that would take in as many sites of interest to suit you.

China, South America combining a trip to the Galapagos Islands, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada taking in an Alaska cruise and the USA are some of the popular places where clients travel around. This can be done as an escorted tour or if you wish to do it independently we can arrange car hire and hotels en-route for you.

Cruises are now so competitively priced, another way of combining several places in one holiday. Different ships offer the choice of formal or an informal style of cruising. We can recommend the company that will suit yours needs.

For the more discerning clients we have first hand knowledge of some of the most luxurious hotels around the world, some of which we have had the privilege of staying in ourselves.

For total relaxation, visit one of the exotic islands around the world - Pangkor Laut and Langkawi in Malaysia or some of Thailands best kept secrets Koh Chang and Krabi, and of course the Maldives or Mauritius and The Seychelles.

Family

Obviously the most renown place where children and children at heart live out their fantasy is at the Disney Resorts around the world.

We know of a full spectrum of hotels that have children's clubs, early dining, mini disco's and even a baby sitting service. From toddlers to teenagers your children's enjoyment of their holiday is paramount and for you to be able to relax and enjoy some well earned 'me' time knowing your children are in safe hands.

If you enjoy adventure as a whole family and activities are what you have in mind then we can arrange for you to mountain bike in the Atlas Mountains, sail around Turkey in a Flotilla or even enrolling yourselves in lessons for tennis and windsurfing.

All inclusive holidays are a fantastic way of having many beach activities included in the cost, along with all meals and local produced drinks and of course for the kid's, drinks and ice cream's are readily available.

For the larger family we can recommend self catering complex's that have apartments that can sleep up to six, maybe if you want total seclusion why not hire your own villa with a private pool, or in some hotels you can have guaranteed interconnecting rooms.

When thinking of a holiday in school holidays please remember to book early as obviously this is always a very busy time especially skiing at Christmas and February half term.

Summersun

The Mediterranean is one of the best places to visit in the summer, why not have a Gite in France or a Villa with a private pool in one of the Balearic Islands, or for total relaxation, a Gulet sailing around the turquoise waters of Turkey.

Lakes and Mountains are also very popular in the summer months for walking and cycling holidays, how about a gastronomy holiday in Italy, a painting holiday in Tuscany or visit the beautiful botanical gardens in Madeira.

We can recommend some wonderful hotels on spectacular golf courses not just around the Med but all over the world too.

If you work in a school environment and can only get away during the school holidays and you don't have children, we can recommend some fabulous adult only or small intimate hotels that don't cater for children.

If you live in the Hampshire or Dorset area, you can fly from Southampton or Bournemouth Airports to places like Lake Garda, Sardinia, Costa del Sol or Portugal to name but a few destinations.

'Dynamic packaging' is a totally flexible way to choose your own holiday, buying the flights, accommodation and either car hire or transfers with different companies for the duration that suits you. We can use the 'no frill airlines' making this a very cost efficient way of travelling.
