7-Day Flying Wanderlust Safari

25 September 2023

Experience two exclusive-use properties, while covering two very different, but renowned ecosystems. At Olderkesi Conservancy, learn from the renowned guides about the intricacies of the Mara ecosystem and the wildlife and people found therein.

Relax in the exclusivity of your private villa in Diani; discovering the warm waters of the Indian Ocean and what is considered to be the best beach in Kenya

Day 1 to 3 - Cottar’s Bush Villa

The 7,000-acre untouched Olderkesi Conservancy provides tranquillity
and an abundance of wildlife.

With sweeping views over the Masai Mara and Serengeti, the exclusive
Cottar’s Bush Villa offers an abundance of wildlife, a guarantee of privacy, and the highest standards of professional guiding in a luxurious and elegant safari environment.

Built by hand using indigenous and eco-friendly materials, complete with
a private swimming pool, Cottar’s Bush Villa provides a luxury private stay for up to 12 guests. The villa is tastefully, yet minimally decorated with furniture specifically designed for each space.

Day 4 to 6 - Lazy Days

Set steps off the beautiful Diani Beach of Kenya’s South Coast, Lazy
Days is nestled amongst beautiful tropical gardens dotted with ancient
Baobab trees, metres away from the protected forests of the Colobus
Conservation Trust.

The ideal extension to a safari for multi-generational groups or families
travelling together; enjoy days relaxing by the swimming pool or unwinding with a spa treatment in the nearby massage area. Take to the Indian Ocean to discover the diverse marine life on snorkelling or scuba diving excursions and enjoy the warm waters while kitesurfing or stand-up paddleboarding before indulging in freshly prepared, sustainably caught seafood and organically grown vegetables prepared by the private chef; served in the main house, alfresco underneath the giant Baobab tree, or at the poolside BBQ dining area.

Where to stay in the Algarve, from villas to boutique retreats

20 August 2026

Choosing where to stay can completely change the feel of an Algarve holiday. Beyond the region’s larger resorts, there are whitewashed villas overlooking the Atlantic, converted village houses in the countryside, intimate design hotels, and peaceful coastal retreats. From the fishing village of Salema to the quieter landscapes around Vila do Bispo and Lagos, these four stays each offer their own take on southern Portugal, whether you want the freedom of a villa, easy access to the beach, or somewhere small and characterful to come back to after a day exploring.

Trade the beach for the streets of Valletta this autumn

19 August 2026

As summer draws to a close, city breaks come back into focus, and few destinations pack as much into a long weekend as Valletta. Malta's compact capital combines centuries of history with a thriving food scene, waterfront views, and a walkable centre that makes it easy to fit plenty into just a few days. With warm autumn temperatures, open-air cafés still spilling onto the streets, and a calendar of events continuing well beyond peak season, it's an easy choice for anyone looking for somewhere that feels both relaxed and full of character.

Why Aphrodite Hills Resort offers more than just a villa holiday

18 August 2026
