South Africa - Cape Town

01 August 2023

Staying in Cape Town provides you with a great base to explore the many sights it has to offer. For a first-time visitor, you will want to see the Cape Peninsula visit the penguins, which is an all-time favourite. No trip to Cape Town is complete without also visiting the Cape Winelands which offer a spoilt-for-choice range of estates and restaurants to enjoy. Another trip we would recommend is a boat ride to Robben Island to visit the cell where Mandela was incarcerated.

We would also recommend an itinerary which is designed to allow you to have plenty of free time to explore all of the above and many more, you could even visit Kruger National Park to add on a safari.

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

Set among the rolling hills of Cyprus’ south-west coast, Aphrodite Hills Resort offers much more than a standalone villa or apartment stay. Guests have their own private space, with options ranging from serviced apartments to large villas with private pools, while still having championship golf, tennis and padel courts, restaurants, wellness facilities, and family activities close by. Just 15 minutes from Paphos International Airport, it is a practical choice for couples, families, groups, and longer stays, with added services such as housekeeping, arrival food baskets, breakfast at the Golf Clubhouse, and private chefs available to make the holiday even easier.
