Loving this beautiful adults only hotel in Cyprus 😍

Striking a balance between sophisticated luxury and casual seaside fun, the Amanti Hotel is a luxurious getaway designed especially for couples. Perched beside the crystalline blue waters of the Mediterranean, the intimate surroundings here are the ideal location for escaping the outside world.

Bask in the warmth of the Cypriot sun as you take a dip in one of two outdoor pools – one is an infinity-style pool, surrounded by the swaying palms and lush greenery of the hotel’s gardens. At Evera Spa and Wellness Centre, meanwhile, you can grab a quiet moment to yourself, or indulge in elegant treatments for two. Experience true peace and relaxation at the indoor infinity pool, or with a yoga or meditation class.

After a day spent pampering the mind, body, and soul, enjoy a romantic evening under the stars with a spot of live music. A world-class dining experience awaits, with menus inspired by cuisines from around the world. Themed live-cooking nights at the buffet restaurant ensure each evening is as memorable as the last. Then you’ve got three à la carte eateries to choose from, which offer up Mediterranean, Cypriot, and Asian-fusion menus.

When thinking of where to go this summer, don't forget about beautiful Thailand!!

Whilst most of Thailand will be in the midst of monsoon season, a couple of islands including Koh Samui have a different weather system to the rest of Thailand making it the perfect spot for your summer holiday. There is so much to do and very family friendly with smiliest people and yummiest food

I love love love this hotel in Bophut ....

Today marks 4 years in business for me with the fabulous Not Just Travel. It has been a roller coaster as I am sure all small business owners would agree, being your own boss is not always as wonderful as it sounds but it sure is worth it and I am so proud of how far my business has come in this time!

Thankyou to all my lovely clients that have made my dream possible and thankyou for trusting me with all your amazing holidays.

Travel is my passion and I absolutely love my job.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!

Here is to the next 4.
