August

For families going away in the summer holidays, our luxury villas in the Mediterranean offer the escape for all, complete with private staff and a nanny to look after your children. And because you’ll have your own private pool, you don’t even need to villa, allowing you to stay far from the peak season crowds if you wish. Elsewhere in Europe, you could head to Cyprus or Spain, or to Rome which comes alive for 6 weeks of the summer, with memorable live music from opera to rock, open air film screens, hundreds of galleries and Cabaret festivals.

Further a-field, Australia has plenty to offer both families and couples, and Fiji and Tahiti in the South Pacific are just some of the places you can find desert island paradise at this time of year. Africa is in its game-viewing prime, and in Chile you can ski!
