Dreaming of a holiday but not sure where to go? Look no further than our monthly travel guide. Our travel experts know a thing or two about their destinations and they've put together their favourite destinations by month and explained what makes them so special.

Our Festival Guide

Festivals reveal the character of a country. Spending a few days soaking up the atmosphere of one of the world’s most weird and wonderful festivals is an unrivalled way to get under the skin of any destination. Whether it’s cheering exuberantly at a renowned sporting occasion, revelling in the euphoria of a music festival or tucking into an unusual delicacy, joining the locals in their festivities is bound to be a holiday highlight. From carnival parades to natural phenomena, we’ve compiled our very favourite festivals to include in your itinerary and open your mind (and taste buds) to the fervour and flavours of a country.

Big Trips for 2022

There are some destinations which draw lots of tourists; from hiking to Machu Picchu to going in search of gorillas in Rwanda, these sites are nothing short of iconic and everyone wants to see them. As a result, travellers need to book much further in advance to secure that perfect itinerary. We want you to see and do everything you want on your holiday so our specialists have picked out some of the main destinations that need the most advance planning and identified how far ahead you need to start thinking about each one.

All of these destinations are already incredibly booked we recommend planning now for 2022 if you've got them on your bucket list.

What's hot for 2021

While quarantine and travel restrictions dictated that we put 2020’s big trips on hold, our team of travel experts are looking forward to 2021 and helping travellers to dream big, once again. Whether you are looking to head away solo, on a postponed honeymoon or on a family trip with grandparents, our experts are on hand to put the magic back into travel for you.

Clever Combos

One destination isn’t enough for you? Our travel experts have put together some quirky twin centres, some are more beachy while others are more wild. And yet, each of these holidays are a clever twist on classic twin centre holidays, ensuring that your holiday is simply unforgettable.

Secret Seasons

We love experiencing places in a new light and with fewer people around, lower rates and landscapes changed by the seasons, the off-peak months are often an underrated time to travel. In the low season there are certain destinations that come alive with migrating wildlife, autumn colours or a dusting of snow, which each make for a wonderful and unique adventure.

We've picked our favourite secret seasons that we think are just as spectacular in the low season, from winter in Bhutan to autumn in Tuscany and spring in Slovenia to summer in Cambodia.

Seriously Special

There are times in life which call for a huge celebration or a real blow-out holiday: be it a birthday, an anniversary or simply wanting to tick off that dream trip you've always wanted to do. With this in mind, our Travel Consultants have searched the globe and hand-picked a selection of properties and itineraries that offer the ultimate indulgence in luxury travel.

Bucket list holidays

Once the definitive scorecard of things you wanted to jump off or swim with before you die, the bucket list has expanded to embrace romance and adventure on an epic scale. Whether it's watching the sun rise over Angkor Wat, whirring above a bubbling Icelandic volcano in a helicopter, taking your family on a Galapagos expedition, or soaking up the golden age glamour of a luxury train ride through South Africa, there are no limits for the modern day explorer.

Curious Minds

For those who are itching to discover cultures around the world, or those who start to fidget just thinking about spending all day on a sun lounger, our handpicked collection of educational experiences could be just the solution. Don’t worry, you won’t be taken back to your school days and stuck indoors – with Scott Dunn the world becomes your classroom. These immersive experiences will have you meeting locals, learning from real experts and engaging in authentic customs.

Experiential travel

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. That could mean thrifting with a fashion designer in Milan or dining with a food blogger in Cape Town. In a work hard, play hard world, we design trips that challenge your perspective to encourage you to rethink your relationship with people and places. In a nutshell, it's personal.
