Ready to try something new this year? 🌍✨ Our latest blog features destination dupes that offer all the charm without the crowds. Whether you're dreaming of tranquil beaches or vibrant cityscapes, with my destination knowledge and expertise I will curate the perfect trip for you. Let me handle all the details so you can explore the world with confidence.

Montenegro instead of Croatia ☀️
Montenegro is an often-overlooked gem that offers the same stunning Adriatic coastline as Croatia but with a calm and relaxed atmosphere.

Slovenia instead of Switzerland ⛰️
If you dream of alpine landscapes and pristine lakes, Slovenia is the perfect alternative to Switzerland. Slovenia's natural beauty is truly awe-inspiring.

Chicago instead of New York City 🏙️
While New York City is often seen as the ultimate urban destination, Chicago offers a similar big-city experience with its own unique charm.

Seville instead of Madrid 🍋
For those craving the famed culture and warmth of Spain, Seville is a captivating alternative to Madrid.

Let's plan your next adventure together! Reach out today to uncover new destinations and tailored travel experiences. ✈️

“Hi Zoe - just to let you know that everything is going amazingly. Just on our way to Pismo after an incredible time in Yosemite. Hotels and car hire have all been great. Everyone is having a brilliant time and we all pushed ourselves with some really physical climbs and hikes in Yosemite, but alas still in a state of massive calorie overload 😂”

Combine the privacy of a villa with the board basis of a hotel - introducing the Ezzahra, Marrakech, with a full board cook service and unlimited spa treatments!

Prices from £2791pp departing in October 2024, including flights & checked luggage!

Positioned in the great oasis of the Palmeraie, this is a superb luxury villa in Morocco, combining all the intimacy of a private country house, with the exceptional service of a fine boutique hotel.

In a coveted location, just 8km from Marrakech, this exquisite house sits in magnificent grounds, where palms and pines, lawns and rose gardens create a relaxing counterbalance to badminton and paddle tennis courts, table tennis and outdoor chess. The jewel in the gardens’ crown is a gorgeous swimming pool, its poolside terraces liberally sprinkled with sunbeds, sofas and huge umbrellas, with an added touch of traditional comfort in the form of a big Berber tent. Equally well planned for form and function, the innately elegant house has its own gym, cinema and games room, and a hammam and beauty/massage centre.

A spacious living room is echoed outdoors on the adjoining terrace, lavishly furnished for lounging and dining, covered for summer shade, and complete with fireplace for cooler months.

Styled with a sense of exotica, the villa’s seven bedrooms can be complemented with access to the private Pavilion with its own plunge pool. And a discreet and most obliging team of staff includes the house chef, who creates delightful evening meals of local and international cuisine.

✈️ Return flights from London Gatwick on 4th October for 7 nights
🛌 8 bedrooms
🥘 Full board cook service
🧖‍♀️ Unlimited spa treatments included
🏋️‍♂️ Gym
💰 discounts available for smaller groups
