The Award is to recognise a member of the Club community who has:
🏐stepped up and stepped forward for the first time;
🏐responded to the call for assistance from volunteers; or
🏐willing to help the Club prosper and develop, no longer how long they have been in the Club.

You know that meeting that could’ve been an email?

Yeah… now imagine attending it from here — sandy toes, iced coffee, and a cheeky little ocean breeze.

📍Beach vibes. Wi-Fi strong. Camera on (but only from the waist up).

Because if we’re going to sit through another “quick catch-up” that takes 53 minutes, we might as well do it from a beach lounge.

At Excellence in Travel, we know that not everyone can drop everything and disappear for a month, but we can help you blur the lines between business and bliss.

Whether you're planning a working getaway or dreaming up your next proper escape, we’ll tailor the trip to suit your lifestyle (and your calendar).

Ready to swap the boardroom for the beach?

The answer is...... Saudi Arabia!

Saudi Arabia is the largest country in the world with no permanent rivers.

Instead, this desert kingdom is full of vast sandscapes, mountain valleys, and surreal rock formations, including the famous tombs of Al Ula and the dramatic Red Sea coast.

It is not your typical holiday pick, but that is what makes it unforgettable.

It might look like an art museum, but it is actually a metro station.

Beneath the streets of Tashkent in Uzbekistan lies one of the world’s most beautiful underground train networks. Each station is uniquely decorated with marble columns, mosaics, chandeliers and intricate ceilings.

All designed to celebrate the country’s culture and history.

The best part? You can explore it for less than the price of a coffee.

If you are searching for travel ideas that are a little different, Uzbekistan is filled with surprises like this.

Save this post for later or tag your travel bestie who loves finding places that are truly unique.
