Picture a barefoot hideaway on a powder-white tropical beach, island hopping in Greece, or enjoying your morning coffee with a view across azure Caribbean waters that look as though they’ve been photoshopped. If you’re dreaming of a luxury beach holiday, simply let us know what beachside bliss means to you, and we’ll conjure up the perfect getaway.
There’s nothing quite like the exhilarating, liberating feeling of going skiing; the powder-fresh, buttery-soft snow beneath your skis and endless clear blue skies ahead. Or perhaps it’s adrenaline-inducing adventures like heli-skiing, ice climbing, or tobogganing that takes your fancy, or perusing the traditional chocolate-box ski resorts nestled below the mountains.
We have a whole smorgasbord of holidays based on culinary delights. From long, lazy lunches in the Tuscan sun to visiting a bustling fish market in Tokyo, wine tasting in New Zealand to cooking lessons in Kerala - these fantastic holidays bring food and wine to the forefront and really showcase the destination through local cuisine.
If you're anything like us, getting soaked to the skin on a white water rafting trip down the Zambezi or thundering across the Argentine Pampas on horseback will be your idea of heaven. How about running the Safaricom Marathon alongside rhino and giraffe through one of the world's most beautiful wildlife havens, crewing your own yacht on an island hopping jaunt in the Agean, or exploring a glacial cave in Iceland? If that sounds like heart-thumping good fun, do we have some ideas for you...
What do we mean by 'experiential' travel? We mean immersive, adventurous and authentic. A journey that gets you beneath the skin of a culture to experience life as a local.
For a Different Kind of Travel Experience…
Ditch planes for a new kind of travel experience. Take to the seas on an intrepid cruise of the Galapagos, revel in the nostalgia of a railway journey, or embrace slow travel and road trip through some of your favourite countries.
Sometimes the best way to see a country’s true colours is to travel along its rivers or coastline by boat. Watch the destination reveal itself through the windows, stopping off to get up close to the cultures, history and wildlife.
Surrender to the cathartic rhythm of rail and the romance of slow travel; now the true definition of luxury in a world that doffs it cap to speed. Watch iconic landscapes like the Scottish Highlands or the Alps roll by before you pull into some of the world’s most famous cities.
It is hard to beat the romance of the open road. For both couples and families, a road trip offers the ultimate in flexibility and adventure. The heady sense of freedom and the luxury of your own space can make hitting the road one of the most relaxing ways to travel, enjoy the scenery and meet the locals. Here’s a selection of our favourite self-drives.
