BEACHSIDE BLISS ⛱

So you can unwind on sun-kissed shores…

Stepping onto soft grains of sand, the sun warming your face, is an instant tonic for lowering stressed-out shoulders. A beachside holiday allows you lots of time to do very little, if that’s your goal.

Check out the Beachside Bliss chapter of my latest digital brochure for inspiration on places that are perfect for the ultimate relaxing escape in 2025 👇

DISNEYLAND PARIS: Top tips from my recent trip...
- Stay on-site to benefit from early park access.
- Make use of every minute of the early park access! It's the best way to avoid the crowds and do your favourite rides with very short queues, without paying for premier access.
- Plan to watch shows or a movie during the middle of the day when queues for rides are long and your feet might need a break.
- If you are not purchasing a spot in a preferred viewing area for fireworks, try to secure a good spot at least an hour before the show starts.
- For a good spot to watch fireworks with small children, I would suggest trying to secure a spot against a garden fence, with the garden in front of you as you face the castle. That way you secure an open space in front of your little people to have an unobstructed view of the show without the need to lift them up.
- Pre-book any special restaurants if you don't want to be disappointed with availability, especially during busy periods such as school holidays.

Day 2 in Paris...
A French patisserie class in macaron making, followed by sightseeing, Christmas markets and visiting the Eiffel tower 👩‍🍳✨️🗼

21/12/2024

Had a fabulous first day at Villages Nature Center Parcs. So much to do! We did pony riding, lots of swimming and going down slides, rock climbing and chocolate making 😍🤩😋

If you want a base to stay at that is good for Disneyland Paris, but also offering lots of non-Disney activities, this is the place to be.

DISCOVER NORTHERN ICELAND 🇮🇸

The less-visited north of Iceland is now easier to access with easyJet’s direct flights from London to Akureyri. Akureyri is framed by mountains and is the country’s largest town outside the capital, Reykjavik. If you want an adventure beyond the popular ‘Golden Circle’, this gives you a more off-the-beaten-track starting point.

This being Iceland, the northern lights are also on the menu. We can arrange a night-time ‘northern lights hunting’ experience during which you’ll hopefully get to observe the dancing, multi-coloured swirls appearing like magic. 2025 is part of the solar maximum: a high-activity period every 11 years when displays peak in regularity and intensity.

I had the pleasure of seeing the underwater suite at Atlantis The Palm with my recent site inspection. What an amazing room!!!! Just stunning! 🐟 🐠 🦈 The room has a massive lounge area upstairs above water level, full kitchen, butler service, a kids room, and the main room with ensuite bathroom under water with stunning views of the fish. The windows are one-way windows...from inside the tank it's a mirror. So you could enjoy a bath with a view if you can get your head around that fact 😆. #dubai #atlantisthepalm #luxurytravel #familyholiday

BREAKING NEWS...More availability added for Lapland during Dec 2024!!! Stay in a stunning Aurora glass-roof suite with ensuite sauna (can accommodate up to 5) and watch the Northern Lights from your very own room.
