❤️💛❤️ Teranka, Formentera ❤️💛❤️

Find this contemporary Mediterranean hideaway tucked between the fragrant pine forests, and the lucid blue waters of Formentera. I am reliably informed it has some of the most aquamarine waters of the Mediterranean.

Just 30 minutes from the famous party island of Ibiza, Teranka is a laidback retreat, more natural luxury, and barefoot, counterculture. The jagged coastline of Formentera is defined by towering cliffs, tottering lighthouses and endless bone-blonde sands, where silvery boardwalks connect barely-there beach bars.

The hotel’s 35 rooms and suites capture the essence of the island, pared back, light-flooded rooms, where every detail is thoughtfully curated.

With provenance and sustainability at their core, Teranka’s chefs prepare dishes with simplicity and respect for both the produce and the island heritage.

Teranka’s entire estate has an immersive approach to wellbeing encouraging guests to disconnect from distractions and allow themselves to benefit from soothing sunrise yoga and guided meditation hikes to stargazing, sound baths and intuitive bodywork.

Call me to plan your immersive escape now 🙌🏼 I’ll be busy feeling zen just quoting this gem 💎

🙋🏻‍♀️ How can I help you? 🙋🏻‍♀️

I pride myself on my personal service, my product knowledge and years of experience. Here are some of the ways I can help you:

🗺️ Multi-centre trip itinerary planning … for instance … I know where the most interesting stopping points are along the Vietnam coast; or which way to travel around Australia to max the good weather … or how to book 15 hotels along your self-drive, once-in-a-lifetime adventure in New Zealand, all at once. If I haven’t been to a place, I have experts I can call upon.

✈️ First hand destination knowledge … The internet is an amazing resource but doesn't decipher which of the advertised "luxury hotels" in your preferred beach location is actually 5*. Again, if I haven’t been personally, chances are I have booked that place before and had client feedback.

🔎 Want to plan a trip but not 100% sure where? … I can use my 25+ years of experience booking holidays and give inspiration. I had people recently looking for a multi-centre trip to include a city with some historical sights, some touring a bit off the beaten track, ending with a nice beach to relax and I could give them some options that hadn’t crossed their mind.

🎊 Concierging .. celebrating a special occasion? .. want to prebook some tours or a spa treatment? .. I can help and I always check passports and entry requirements - you cannot believe how many people I’ve helped by checking this BEFORE you pack 😬

📱 and there is ZERO call centres or telephone menus. I work for myself, at home so I am easily contactable through mobile/WhatsApp/email/social media and ready to be your official hand holder for your 2025/26 holiday bookings.

☎️ 07368 4308217

🎊 New Year, New set of holiday plans?? … then let me introduce myself.

🙋🏻‍♀️ I am Abigail and I am a travel agent with 25 years' experience of booking luxury tailor-made holidays, and over 6 years running my own venture.

🗺️ I am lucky enough to have travelled to over 40 countries and lived in Hong Kong and Australia. I use my extensive product knowledge to help plan and advise my clients to maximize their valuable time away - And do everything I can to make your trip all about the memories.

🌎 Over my career, I have booked clients to every corner of the globe and forged relationships with clients who book over and over again. I see my main role as official hand-holder and to make travel planning as easy as I possibly can.

👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏼 Last year, I joined the Travel Sisterhood, a community of female travel business owners. I gain the benefit of a mutual sharing of a vast treasure chest of experience, expertise, product knowledge and contacts. For myself, working solo at home - I also gain an empowering community and network of some really inspirational women.

🐨 I remain a Tourism Premier Aussie specialist - recognising my expertise in the destination that I can utilise for complex tailor-made enquiries. Let’s face it, if you are flying that far, it is unlikely you are staying in one place - but I can advise on logistics, weather patterns, places to visit etc

👧🏻 I am also a mother of a 6 year old who is already an experienced traveller herself! It gives me an insight to family holiday planning … sleeping, dining and entertaining logistics required ... I will smooth the way to ensuring the biggest stress you have is what flavour ice-cream to order.

☎️ So, I look forward to speaking to you soon to assist in your own travel plans soon.

🇹🇭 ☀️ Recently booked ☀️ 🇹🇭

Some repeat clients have recently booked a fabulous tailor-made trip around Thailand, taking in thrills of Bangkok, the history of the River Kwai, the culture of north in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, before finally chilling at the beach in Khao Lak.

They knew they wanted to go to the country but didn’t know which sights to see, what time of year, where to stay. I can use my destination knowledge, extensive experience in the industry and contacts to put together something that suited them to a tee and they have something perfect for them for the New Year.

Contact me for all your own tailor-made holiday requirements and let me take the stress out of how to fit all the jigsaw puzzle pieces together.

Call me on 07368 430817 or email me at [email protected]

As promised picture of us attached, with a koala of course!

Kind Regards,

Sal Salis
Ningaloo, Western Australia

Part of the

The last one in the collection and the epitome of what the Luxury Lodges collective is all about. The focus is about the unique destination and feeling that sense of place ..

The destination being : where the outback meets the reef... With 15 wilderness tents and one honeymoon tent hidden amongst the dunes overlooking Ningaloo Reef, Sal Salis provides a unique place from which to explore WA’s coral coast and one of Australia’s best kept natural secrets.

The attraction lies in the coral reef, just a few metres off-shore, and its colourful corals and marine residents. Stretching for 280 kms along Australia’s west coast Ningaloo Reef is one of the world’s longest fringing coastal reefs. It is also acknowledged as the best place in the world to swim with the world’s largest fish, the Whale Shark, as these gentle giants migrate through every year. From the month of August, swimming with humpback whales is also a highlight for guests. The coastal dunes and gorges in the Cape Range National Park also provide a prolific wildlife experience with red kangaroo, euros, echidnas, emus and more seen in and around the camp.

Safari guides are on hand to provide an immersive wilderness experience. And the resident chef ensures this is supported by the very best of Australian bush cuisine and a selection of fine Western Australian wines.

The camp’s environmental credentials ensure a minimal footprint in this pristine environment. For instance, composting loos and limited shower water per day ensure water usage is sparingly managed; an important consideration in this semi-arid habitat. Sal Salis does not offer traditional luxury, rather the luxury is in the experience. There is no air-conditioning, mini bar, or TV in the tents – the focus is on the surrounding wilderness and the opportunity to reconnect with nature. However, the camp team ensure you are very well looked after and key creature comforts are provided. This is after all, camping in style.

True North Adventure Cruises
Kimberley, Western Australia

Part of the

A journey with True North Adventure Cruises is one of Australia’s outstanding adventure tourism experiences. All itineraries are activity based and designed for the discerning traveller who truly wants to 'experience the destination' in some of Australia’s most remote and hard to access coastal regions.

The “Kimberley Wilderness Cruise” is a 7 or 13 night panorama of spectacular gorges, majestic waterfalls, islands and rugged coastline. Other cruise options include features the Abrolhos Islands, Ningaloo Reef and the Monte Bello Islands; “Sydney Rocks”, an opportunity to discover wilderness on the doorstep of Australia’s largest city and the a safari at sea along the stunning South Australian coast including must-see Kangaroo Island.

Daily activities can include scenic walks, helicopter flights, fishing, snorkelling, cultural visits, picnics, wildflowers, bird and wildlife watching, diving, exploring and much more…

Bullo River Station
East Kimberley, Northern Territory

Part of the

Set on 400,000 acres of privately owned countryside at the convergence of the Bullo and Victoria rivers, Bullo River Station is a working cattle station in the East Kimberley region, in the Northern Territory near the Western Australian border.

Twelve generous and comfortable rooms, opening out onto the shady lawns, are cool and comfortable, with a king or twin-beds, air-conditioning and modern ensuite.

Delicious, wholesome meals and cooling beverages, reinvigorate guests after a day exploring the outback and enjoying Bullo’s many activities.

The Station’s pristine landscape is carved with gorges and waterfalls, making it one of Australia’s most breathtakingly beautiful stations. Encircled by the coffee-coloured waters of the Victoria River and rugged hills inscribed with Aboriginal rock art, this vast property is not only home to around 2,000 Brahman-cross cattle, but also a stunning variety of local fauna species including wallabies, dingoes, myriad native and migratory birds, fish and the omnipresent crocodiles.

Guests explore Bullo with their own guide: visiting secret waterfalls, natural swimming pools and historic boabs, spending the day cruising the Bullo River and dropping a line in for barramundi fishing, bird and wildlife watching, and exploring the Aboriginal rock art on the vast property. And then there is the station life which has its own rhythms, full of dust and excitement. It all makes for an exhilarating stay.

Bamurru Plains
Kakadu, Northern Territory

Part of the

Bamurru Plains is an extraordinary bush experience on the edge of Kakadu National Park in Australia’s Northern Territory (NT). The Top End of NT experiences some of the greatest climatic extremes (wet and dry particularly) of any region of Australia. The coastal floodplains of northern Australia are home to prolific bird and wildlife (Australia's answer to the Okavango Delta) whilst Kakadu and Arnhem Land are significant strongholds for Aboriginal cultures.
This ecologically sensitive luxury camp focuses on environmental sustainability and key luxury standards offering the highest levels of comfort.

The twelve room camp safari lodge exudes ‘Wild Bush Luxury’ ensuring that guests are introduced to the sights and sounds of this spectacular environment in style and exclusivity.

Each suite blends seamlessly with the surrounding bush, with a focus on the key luxury comforts, a supremely comfortable bed, innovative Australian cuisine and premium wines (no TVs, minibars or telephones to distract from the wildlife outside). Floor to ceiling screening allows guests to look out across the floodplains at sunrise from the comfort of their bed.

Bamurru’s team of passionate field guides offer a variety of activities from the lodge, including cruises on the Sampan River to spot crocodiles, four-wheel drive safaris, scenic helicopter flights over the floodplains and coastline, and tours to the rock art galleries of Arnhem Land.

The floodplains and savannah woodland offer one of Australia’s richest wildlife experiences: tens of thousands of Magpie Geese mingle with whistling kites, egrets, herons and buffalo on the floodplain, while Blue-winged kookaburras, parrots, cockatoos and agile wallabies inhabit the fringing woodlands.

In the evening, you'll sit back with a sundowner drink and canapés and enjoy the soft ‘Wild Bush Luxury’ touches that are the Bamurru trademark. There is also an open bar, a small swimming pool and nature reference library.
