One for the bucket list, the hidden paradise of Su

One for the bucket list, the hidden paradise of Sumba is a ‘largely forgotten’ island, located an hour’s flight from Bali. Nihi Sumba’s 2.5km beach has become a playground for 17 Sandalwood horses who are said to be the soul of the island. Every morning, they plunge into the Indian Ocean with their team of Sumbani ‘guardian angels’. Guests are welcome to join the herd and swim with the horses before they return to their stables for the rest of the day. It’s a truly unique and magical island (and probably top of our travel-to-do experience wish list!). We would also recommend their ‘Spa Safari’ which is the ultimate spa experience! It involves a 90-minute trek to the peak for a day at their incredible spa. Couples’ can have unlimited spa treatments overlooking the ocean. You can also visit the Sumba Foundation to see how they provide local support and have enabled access to clean water and educational programmes for the local community

A rather belated Happy New Year from me to you!! T

A rather belated Happy New Year from me to you!! Thank you to all my wonderful clients for continuing to entrust your precious holidays with me. I am so lucky to do what I do and help you travel to such beautiful places. This year, we helped plan spectacular trips to Uruguay, Australia, Japan, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and Vietnam to name but a few. This year, has got off to an exciting (and busy!) start, planning itineraries for Oman, South Africa, Rome, Dubai, Thailand, the Caribbean and US road trips with a focus on experience-rich, sustainable travel in 2020 🌎

My personal 2019 highlights: EPIC SWISS SKIING (staying at The Chedi Andermatt which has one of the best spas I’ve ever seen), the HEAVENLY COTSWOLDS at my favourite new UK hotel Thyme, a PUGLIAN ROAD TRIP (where I quickly realised what all the fuss was about - Masseria Trapana and Masseria Torre Coccaro are simply GLORIOUS), a refreshing recap of the gorgeous properties in MALLORCA including a stay at the newly built Finca Serena (an adult-only retreat close to Palma), a perfect jaunt to AMALFI staying at the ‘Pink Palace’ 💗Palazzo Avino💗, a weekend in MONTE CARLO and a week discovering CROATIA and MONTENEGRO (yup, you guessed it = beautiful!). I have some exciting adventures planned for 2020 and it’s off to AMSTERDAM for me again (which captured my heart when I visited a few months ago)
Thanks to all the hoteliers and wonderful reps who are generous enough to arrange our stays for these invaluable insights into their properties. Thanks to my lovely friends in the travel industry for being great. But the biggest thanks to my endlessly supportive, glorious clients. I couldn’t do it without you! 🥰

“Room for one more?” Breakfast time is always

“Room for one more?” Breakfast time is always a treat at Giraffe Manor. Its herd of Rothschild giraffes visit morning or evening, sometimes poking their long necks into the windows in the hope of a treat, before retreating to their forest sanctuary 🦒🦒🦒 Finding availability is usually impossible but we know how to get you into this magical estate for a night before you head out onto safari. Get in touch today to start planning your African adventure!

Our new favourite European getaway - the Dutch cap

Our new favourite European getaway - the Dutch capital of Amsterdam - exceeds all expectations. It has everything you might need for the perfect ‘weekend minibreak’. Rich in history, hop on a bike and explore the canals and cobbled streets to your hearts content
🚲
The buildings are extraordinary; some lean like the Tower of Pisa (being balanced on stilts over water after all) and are only still standing due to clever engineers with nerves of steel who swim underneath the city to reinforce them
🍺
From the excellent Van Gogh and Banksy exhibitions in ‘Museum Park’, a visit to Anne Frank’s House and the plethora of exceptional bars and restaurants here, we discovered that the options are endless. Even a tour of the Red Light District is worthwhile. The maritime history of Amsterdam is fascinating and the women are incredibly well protected by the city (although having the right tour guide and visiting at the right time of day is important)
🇳🇱 We stayed @sohohouseamsterdam which was 👌🏼but we have plenty of other hotels to recommend dependant on your budget and requirements. Contact us today to start planning your Dutch adventure! .

Good morning Dubrovnik! 🇭🇷☀️ Another mag

Good morning Dubrovnik! 🇭🇷☀️ Another magical place to explore for a few days ~ one of the world’s most spectacular walled cities, the UNESCO-protected Old Town boasts endless Baroque churches, glitzy seafood restaurants (we had one of the best prawn dishes we’ve ever tasted) and Game of Thrones photo ops. You can also head further afield for a day trip to the nearby island of #Lokrum. Its surviving monastery and botanical gardens are worth a visit but it also serves as a welcome escape from the crowds on the mainland. Pack a picnic and sunbathe in peace for a few hours. You just need to bat away the bunny rabbits and peacocks that roam the island as it’s a protected nature preserve. It is best to visit Dubrovnik ‘out of season’ though (the cruise ships really are something else in the height of summer). We are here in mid-late October and relishing 31 degree temperatures and minimal crowds. We can wholeheartedly recommend it!

“The part of the Adriatic Coast belonging to Mon

“The part of the Adriatic Coast belonging to Montenegro is the purest part of the Mediterranean” - Jacques Cousteau || We were lucky enough to finally discover Montenegro for ourselves this past week. What an incredibly special place. With easy direct flights to Tivat, Podgorica or Montenegro from the UK, travelling here has never been so easy. Crystal clear waters, beach clubs, UNESCO protected medieval villages, five National Parks, a super yacht marina, sailing regattas and oyster farms means there are endless corners of the country to discover. With a huge investment of wealth to the area in recent years, the hope is to turn it into the new riviera. AMAN and The Chedi already have hotels here and there is the much anticipated opening of the first European One&Only here in 2020. We stayed at the Regent Porto Montenegro and it was fabulous. Huge thanks to @privateforums for hosting us 🌴🇲🇪💛

I am a little reluctant to share this secret but share it I must. Sometimes I come across hotels that exceed the word ‘special’. Masseria Trapana is one of these hidden gems that steals a piece of your heart. Exceptional service (call the phone by the pool for an endless supply of Aperol Spritz), extraordinary attention to detail (Aesop toiletries anyone?) and larger-than-life owner Rob all help to create this Puglian oasis, just outside of Lecce
💛
This masseria has been lovingly restored, transforming former olive presses into dramatic firepits and bringing 15th century frescoes found behind the chapel walls back to life. The 9 bedrooms boast vaulted ceilings and endless views over the local countryside. Head down into the old olive store where you’ll find a magnesium jacuzzi that has been built into the cave walls. Perfect for soothing away any aches and pains
💙
Magical, magical, magical

Where’s your favourite holiday spot? This year,

Where’s your favourite holiday spot? This year, we are completely head-over-heels for the luxurious Mezzatorre Hotel, on the beautiful island of Ischia. Re-launched this summer by the team behind the (much celebrated) Il Pellicano, Pellicano Hotels have added their eponymous sparkle to this undiscovered gem of a destination. With only 57 rooms, thermal spa, decked pool, sea views and private bay, all they need for a full house is a good restaurant (do not fear, the food is phenomenal). It works perfectly for an Italian road trip and makes a nice change from Capri. Combine with a trip to the Amalfi coast via a quick ferry from Naples

Wishing everyone a day as refreshing as this one on today’s heatwave. We would rather be in Italy, diving off the boat off the shores of glorious, sun-soaked Lampedusa. Situated between Malta and Tunisia in the Pelagie Islands (southern Italy), it’s known for its its beaches, including the Spiaggia dei Conigli, with shallow waters and colourful marine life. It’s even an egg-laying site for marine turtles. Combine with a trip to Pantelleria, one of our other hottest destinations this year, which lies off the coast of Sicily 💙

So heaven IS a place on earth. This is the view from the infinitely charming Palazzo Avino in Ravello. The Amalfi Coast has to be seen to be believed but nowhere captured my heart quite as much as the ‘Pink Palace’
.
Set 365 metres above the Tyrrhenian Sea, Ravello is the hidden treasure of this coastline. Its former wealth is apparent in its villas and gardens and earned its listing as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1997 (the views from Villa Cimbrone are simply jaw-dropping)

Opened April 2019, Finca Serena can be found in the Pla de Mallorca, in the centre of Mallorca. A mere 20 minutes’ to Es Trenc and 30 minutes from Palma, the hotel is set amidst 40 hectares of cypresses, olive trees and vineyards
♾
Hop on one of the hotel’s bikes and take the scenic route to nearby Montuïri. Or relax in the hotel’s spa; 250sqm of relaxation space that includes a heated indoor pool, treatment room, gym, sauna and Hammam. They also offer complimentary yoga sessions to guests
♾
We loved its spacious modern rooms, fantastic food, secret garden spaces and breathtaking views
♾
This will be *THE* place to stay in next to no time and we were honoured to be one of the first to stay 💛
