❤️February in the City of Love ❤️

So lucky to be making my annual birthday pilgrimage to Paris this month and staying at one of my top 5 favourite hotels worldwide ❤️

Yes, it breaks the bank - but is it worth it? For me, the answer is a resounding Oui!!! I love love love the location, so close to Notre Dame and Ile St Louis and of course, La Samaritaine 🛍️ and the service, food and swimming pool just make it worth the price. There is a kids club as well - but I like it for an adult-getaway!

And then for the 3rd night I am so excited to stay at the brand new .vendome - with just 26 rooms and suites all inspired by 26 iconic women and located by the Tuileries.

Paris je t’aime! And, it really is Paris season so get in touch for that perfect weekend away 💫

It’s February so time for some sexiest stays inspiration 💞

First up: closest to (my) home


So peaceful, so demure, such delicious farm to table food, beautiful gardens and not too far from London (1hr)

What sets it apart? One of the best spas in the UK (even if they will confiscate your phone on the way in) and a cinema room!

If you haven’t got Valentines Day sorted - get in touch whether it’s for a solo stay couples or even friends - add to list!

⛰️Six Senses, Zighy Bay ⛰️

So excited for our wonderful clients who are off to Oman in February. We were able to work around their dates despite the hotel being fully booked to find something perfect for their precious family time together.

We love for many reasons, it’s convenient location just 2 hours from Dubai, the excellent service and beautiful design, focus on sustainability and array of fun excursions - our favourite is the private beach bbq and paragliding in on arrival (don’t touch the birds!)

☀️ sunrise kayaking
☀️ village trek
☀️ archery/ tennis / volleyball ball
☀️ star gazing in Oman
☀️ Arabic classes for beginners
☀️ outdoor cinema

There are so many fun things to do in nature here together, making it a top favourite for the family adventure (enough to keep even teens off their phones!)

💫 and as part of IHG Destined plenty of amazing perks for our fabulous clients, of course!

Paraiso, Cabo style 🇲🇽

No January blues for our gorgeous client off to where desert meets sea. Little bit obsessed with the interiors here, just divine! The perfect space to reconnect with nature and have great food, pampering and love in January (and beyond).

You had me at whale watching from your private terrace!

As a Rosewood Elite agency there are so many special treats for you including some incredible extras, upgrades and more… and of course, the most important, a More Rosewood complimentary night!

Disfruta! ❤️

Staring at all of these amazing trips planned for our clients for 2025 has me thinking about where I want to be right now 🤣

I think it has to be for a few reasons:
1. Adult-only and I’ve just spent about a month with my whole family 🤣
2. Treatment every day, yes please. Just what the doctor ordered.
3. All-inclusive just when everything seems to be getting more expensive! Ha ha.

Where would you pick if you got one choice and could get off today? ☀️ ✈️

Note to self: get off Instagram and do some work ;)

🇬🇧 🇫🇷 A match made in heaven 🇬🇧 🇫🇷

Just Booked - the perfect boutique pairing for this lovely family visiting London & Paris this summer ☀️

First stop: right in the heart of Chelsea, we love the apartments especially for families with all the convenience of a hotel but a bit more space to unwind and run around.
Tip: ground floor is higher ceilings in these old buildings so we like them best ;)

Then a short 2.5 hour away to Paris, France for another boutique gem that we all love located in the 8th arrondissement with the most amazing Eiffel Tower views and the prettiest boutique decor. The glass of bubbles on arrival sold us at hello ❤️

Of course, plenty of fun to do in both cities for families. Which is your favourite?

☀️ Just Booked ☀️

What’s better than a last-minute escape to the Maldives in the month we should all be sunbathing somewhere (January)?

So excited for this wonderful family who are headed off to fushi for a barefoot paradise and some epic family fun in the Baa Atoll with fantastic diving and snorkelling ☀️

With an amazing family offer it’s a perfect place to visit with kids - the offer includes complimentary full board stays for kids under 15 and so much more (even 2 hours of babysitting after 6 pm!)

Enjoy!

Ps. You know it will be a good one when you are asked for your favourite ice cream flavour and told you have 30 flavours available to you 😉 not to mention the water slide ….

You couldn’t be more beautiful if you tried! Have loved this hotel located so conveniently from London for so long, something for everyone here from solos to couples to families.

Highlights:
⭐️ Kids Club and Treehouse
⭐️ Cinema Room
⭐️ Japanese Restaurant (so yummy)
⭐️indoor and outdoor pool
⭐️ golf and more nearby

I love the Garden House for a solo stay as it’s so cosy and warm, the Main House has the wow for views and love the decor, and the new village is perfect for families who want some independence (you get your own golf buggy!)

One to add to a few nights in London as so conveniently located for Heathrow and Gatwick and only an hour from Central London 🇬🇧

As always there are no fees for hotel-only bookings, just extras for you like upgrades, red carpet treatment and more ;)

Thank you .sisterhood for such an amazing stay!

🍂 Heckfield Place 🍂

What a unique and restorative place located on 350 acres of wood and farm land in Hampshire just 1 hr from London.

I’ve been to so many wonderful hotels lately and this one just had an edge, something really unique - you have to drop your bags and work on Heckfield time when you get here (and for busy people what could be better than that!!?)

The design is just beautiful, but the spa and the sleep quality were the real winners - this to me is the place to get away stop time, spa to your hearts content, sleep, eat fresh and start again.

I had a few friends say this was their favourite hotel before we arrived, and I can really see why.

Personally, I’d come as a couple (or solo) and leave the kids behind - spend a few hours a day in the spa or getting treatments, go for walks, have afternoon tea and enjoy the most comfortable bed ever.

Thank you ❤️ can’t wait to come back!

🎄💫 Tis the Season 💫🎄

Celebrating a fantastic year with our partners last night at the gorgeous in the heart of Chelsea.

I was lucky enough to visit three of my favourite Belmond hotels in 2024. First the beautiful which is getting more and more exciting day by day as the refurbishment continues - this is the one hotel that really stood out for me - simply beautiful and the new suites and villas are just divine. Book ahead!!!

I also got the chance to return to in Florence, which closed its doors this year for an exciting refurbishment project and will reopen in 2026 (don’t worry you can book in the meantime which sits at the very top with Villa San Michele in my mind) both are just perfect!

I then got to visit where my clients have returned to 3x this year alone - this gem in Tuscany is a must visit, just so pretty and with the most wonderful concierge team ❤️

Finally, we are so excited for updates like the new Villa Beatrice perched above Punta Caiega in Portofino opening July 2025!

Also - such exciting news on new train routes in the Uk, Europe and Asia - we LOVE adding a touch of rail to fabulous itineraries so please get in touch if you are thinking of a trip on or 🚂

Finally, you know how much I love the - and you will too! Refer to last post ;)

Big thanks Justin Purves and - we love you all so much ❤️

🇫🇷 Afloat in France 🇫🇷

The one experience that I always think of when a client tells me they have ‘done everything’ and the one gift I would give to the person who has and has done it all.

One of the best experiences of my life, during Covid being in the right place at the right time and able to hop on a Eurostar and be in Burgundy by that afternoon, I got to experience three nights on board Amaryllis - from days spent lounging by the pool after a delicious lunch and plenty of French rosé to cycling in the countryside, visiting incredible chateaux and wine makers in the region - there is something for absolutely everyone. I think for a group of friends or a multi-generational family there is nothing that competes. (Especially if said family loves Ruinart, Burgundy, great French food and the most amazing service).

For a smaller group I’d always suggest Coquelicot especially for the Champagne lovers - with three cabins.

If you are looking for that out of this world experience for 2025- I have plenty ideas, and a few offers (like a complimentary night in Paris, Reims, Dijon or Geneva for 2025 sailings.

Consider yourself reminded to BOOK ahead this year - even before the traditional booking period of January/February…

Our favourite (and your favourite) hotels are starting to sell out already for May - September and there are a few good reasons to book ahead in November…

1) Black Friday - sales can be even better than January sales
2) The most wonderful hotels in the world really do book up when you want to go too! ☀️
3) November is a quieter time so responses are quicker from reservations teams and from us 🤫
4) Flexible terms mean if your plans change you can always pivot 🏝️🏖️
5) Events such as the Jubilee in Italy making destinations more sought after and more booked up.

💫 Client Testimonial - Seychelles 💫

“ I’ve worked with Sarah since the beginning and she’s never failed to send my family and I on fabulous trips, but our most recent holiday surpassed expectation.

With my husband celebrating his 40th I wanted something really special. Sarah and I chatted about what I was looking for and, as always, she takes the time to understand exactly the needs we have as a family, particularly as I have three very energetic boys.

Sarah and her team helped us put together a fantastic itinerary so we were able to really maximise our time but also find time to relax in some of the most stunning places. She also made sure we were able to easily navigate the 3 flights it took to get there organising fast track through the airports and access to lounges if we needed them!

It is her in-depth knowledge, experience and attention to detail that ensured our trip was magical – thank you, Sarah x”

❤️ Thank you so much! We feel so lucky to be able to work with the absolute BEST clients - and precious family celebrations and such happy times together make this work so rewarding ❤️

❤️ Finolhu ❤️

What an incredible time we had at the gorgeous one of our absolute favourites in Baa Atoll. The only way to describe this paradise is ‘so much fun, soooo much fun!’

With something for literally everyone - from an incredible spa to evening trapeze entertainment, from golf to tennis, diving, snorkelling, swimming and so much more. The food was absolutely delicious and the breakfast is one of the best!

What we loved:
🏝️ The beautiful interiors - loved all the pops of colour and everywhere you look there is a fun piece of art or something so pretty
🏝️ The incredible staff - nothing is too much to ask, everything is just magically sorted for you!
🏝️ The kids club - it’s rare when even the preteens ask to go back!
🏝️ dinner at Arabian Grill under the stars where we saw a flying star (apparently the kids tell me it’s called a shooting star ;)
🏝️ The Rockstar Villa - I mean WOW!
🏝️ The colours, going back to the design but everywhere we looked it was just like a candy shop for the eyes
🏝️ PADI Mermaid courses among so many other unique and fun experiences
🏝️ Snorkelling along the reef (and the valiant efforts Finolhu make with replanting coral and coral nurseries
🏝️ The inflatable water park, perfect for a full afternoon of fun in the water
🏝️ Walking along the gorgeous sandbank, where they also host the sunrise and sunset yoga
🏝️ So many hidden places to feel like you are on your own deserted island, yet amazing areas to people watch
🏝️ Cutest places to sit and watch the sunset anywhere you look
🏝️ The best gift shop, with really cool designers and unique pieces and anything you might have forgotten at home from inflatables to sunscreen. Might have spent all my money in here ;)

I can so highly recommend this beautiful place for families, especially multi-generational families, but also friends, solo travellers and couples - we met all of these travellers when we were ☀️

❤️ Joali ❤️

A love letter to this once in a lifetime place, heaven on earth. It’s so rare to find such a gem that you immediately start dreaming of how you can return for the people, the design, the sunsets, tge water, the food, the spa, the beach and of course, the art!

I also kept thinking of while I was here - you can find the feminine design touches everywhere and although such different settings - both have that next level up about them ❤️

What we loved (basically every thing):
🏝️ the breakfast (out of this world)
🏝️ the kids club
🏝️ the immersive art work everywhere
🏝️ dinner at Saoke
🏝️ the ocean trampoline
🏝️ mornings on the hammock spotting 🐟 we saw 25 types of fish and a few friendly sharks
🏝️ talks with Bethany the Marine Biologist who explained more about the conservation project
🏝️ 15 minutes from which is just stunning and perfect for a spa day or a sound healing
🏝️ the spa - maybe the best massage I’ve ever had
🏝️ all of the tiny little well thought out touches like sunscreen on the beach and hair ties when the weather is windy
🏝️ our incredible Jadugar Idil

And so much more, from the outdoor gym to the submarine and everything in between.

This is a perfect place for families and couples, with 2-bed + beach and water villas and luxury villas that have gorgeous living rooms. I have tons of videos but I don’t want to overshare as the surprise of discovery is amazing!

It’s so hard to put into words how special is but I hope this expresses how much I have fallen in love with her ❤️
