On our wonder-list... Morocco! 🐪☀️⁠
⁠
Did you know that Morocco has nine Unesco World Heritage Sites? Here, you can explore awe-inspiring Roman ruins, the fascinating Medinas (old towns) of Marrakesh, Fez & Essaouira... even a long-forgotten acropolis now being excavated and opened to tourists.⁠
⁠
Morocco’s trendsetting cities of Rabat, Marrakech and Casablanca also boast vibrant art scenes, contemporary museums, luxury resorts, bustling nightlife and music festivals – all linked by modern tramways and high-speed trains. If you love luxury, history AND unique adventures, this is certainly a destination to watch. ⁠
⁠
What do you think? Should we include Morocco in our next release of mystery escape destinations? 🤩⁠

We're thrilled to see that Villa Miločer at has opened its doors once again! This luxury haven is tucked away in Montenegro, a beautiful little country in the Balkan region of Europe whose tourism sector suffered dramatically during the pandemic.⁠
⁠
If you haven't explored the Balkans yet, add it to your list - like, now. With breathtaking landscapes, towering mountains, stunning medieval towns, friendly locals, and bustling nightlife, it's the perfect place for adventurers and luxury lovers alike.⁠
⁠
If you feel splurging and want the (literal) royal treatment? Villa Miločer at Aman Sveti Stefan is the place to be.⁠
⁠
Encircled by whispering cedar, pine, and olive trees, this 19th-century residence is private and secluded, just steps from the glittering Adriatic sea. The former summer residence of Queen Marija Karađorđević, Villa Miločer offers eight elegant suites with stunning panoramas of the ocean and gardens. Guests here also gain exclusive access to the islet of Sveti Stefan, which remains closed to the public indefinitely.⁠
⁠
A rendezvous here is definitely on the cards for us next summer. Join us? ⁠

Gone are the days of mass-booking engines and praying that the “luxury” hotel you booked doesn’t turn out to be a grungy motel in the middle of nowhere. For us, quality is queen and we are obsessive with our selection of accommodation partners. ⁠
⁠
From six-star all-inclusive resorts to beautiful boutique villas, we work with some of the best accommodation destinations in Australia & New Zealand to bring you value where it counts 👌🏼⁠
⁠

Best moments of the week are when we receive emails from you telling us all about your adventures away 🥰⁠
⁠
(It's even better when they're a full blown letter – we sit down with a cuppa and read every word, and it just MAKES our day!).⁠

One question we often get asked is, "do you cater to families?".

The answer is YES!

We love planning special experiences to help you create core memories with your little ones.

We’re also very mindful of the logistics and practicalities of travelling with kids and factor in things like:
- Flights at bub-friendly times
- Car seats and larger hire cars to accommodate all the extra bits and pieces
- Child friendly activities and experiences
- Accommodation with more than one room so that mum and dad can still enjoy themselves after the kids go to bed!

It can be nerve wracking and challenging to travel with your little ones - especially if it’s your first time. We hope that with a little extra support from us, we can make the process as stress-free as possible, so that you can enjoy your well-earned down time 🙏🏼

If you missed seeing Tammy Hembrow’s luxe staycay over the weekend, head to our Instagram highlights for some serious inspo for your next family holiday!
