Wow! Wow! Wow! I have been so fortunate to have just returned from - what a stunning amazing place.

This hidden gem in Saudi Arabia is an ancient oasis boasting of 200,000 years of human history, including the Nabataean city of Hegra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

We saw rock-carved tombs, stunning desert landscapes and modern art installations.

There was so much to do - we went hot air ballooning, zip lining, star gazing, meditating in the Oasis and eating!! The food was incredible!

We stayed at and visited the most beautiful and stunning properties in the old town, the serene , the gorgeous hive of activity and . We also managed a sneaky peak the new Chedi which will be completed shortly.

AlUla is an amazing blend of history, culture and natural beauty. Tourism is still relatively new here and I would 100 per cent recommend visiting this once in a lifetime destination before it gets too discovered! Access is easy via Dubai or Doha.

Dave has just returned from Cesenatico, Rimini and Bologna. What a fabulous lesser known area of Italy.

Amazing history, delicious fresh food and long sandy beaches with the added benefit of no crowds!

This area of Italy represents excellent value whilst still having all the culture and food of a true Italian holiday!

Happy weekend! Hopefully it’s going to be a sunny one! ☀️

We have been busy sending our lovely clients on their holidays for the summer! It’s been a busy summer for us and our travellers! ✈️

We have also been making time to meet our tour operator and suppliers. This helps us strengthen and develop not only our relationships with our lovely clients but also our fabulous suppliers.

These relationships really help us design and craft your perfect holiday and enabling us to add in any extra special experiences 😍.

I have put a snapshot of the last few months of the work ( I promise it is work 🤣!) that we do meeting suppliers and reservation teams across the UK to ensure you have the very best holiday totally tailored for you.

You might recognise some of the names you have travelled with!

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

We have just spent a week on Hebridean Princess. Wow what an amazing bucket list experience this gorgeous little ship is 😍.

The food and service on board is the one of the best we have ever experienced on our travels.

She doesn’t have a ‘cruise’ feel, she feels more like a wonderful country house that can nestle into little coves and inlets. Her maximum capaticity is around 50 people.

We cruised from Oban around the Outer Hebrides and saw amazing wildlife - hundreds of puffins, birds, seals and a few dolphins! We also visited remote villages and castles.

The benefit of our cruise is that she stayed in uk waters for anyone who struggles to get travel insurance as it’s not needed. She does lots of other itineraries across the UK and Channel Islands. 🛳️⚓️

If Hebridean Princess is on your bucket list we would be delighted to share our experience with you !

Great day catching up with One&Only Resorts
Atlantis The Royal in London.

We had one to one meetings to learn about new properties One&Only Aesthesis Athens and One&Only Kéa Island - wow they look stunning!!

We also took the opportunity to meet with representatives from all their worldwide hotels including long time favourites such The One And Only Royal Mirage - Dubai.

One & only Gorillas nest in Rwanda is still on my bucket list!

The event was held in ‘Swingers’ in London - when we first got the invite we thought it was Spam 🤣 - it turned out to be a fabulous mini golf venue in the centre of London!

If you are interested in any of the One &Only properties or Atlantis the Royal we would love to share our personal experiences with you xx

Happy Bank Holiday!

I have just returned from the gorgeous Zoetry Marigot Bay in St Lucia ❤️.

It is a stunning resort for anyone looking to experience authentic Carribean as it’s unique in that it is All Inclusive but also has a public restaurant and bar in set in a stunning marina so you can eat and drink with the locals but it is covered by the all inclusive 🥂🥗⛵️.

We experienced yoga, kayaking, zip lining, paddleboarding, a sunset cruise and a trip to Castries for some market shopping.

If you are looking for an authentic Carribean experience in a stunning bay setting then this gorgeous hotel is for you!

I would love to share my experience with you! Please get in touch 01564 784550 or email [email protected]

Ponant’s flagship is the amazing Commandant Charcot, the only luxury icebreaker in the world taking you to places in the Antarctic and the Arctic that no other passenger ship can.
