✨ Hotel Spotlight: Almyra, Paphos ✨

Fresh, stylish and effortlessly cool… is one of those hotels that immediately makes you feel relaxed the moment you arrive.

Set on the beautiful Paphos seafront, this contemporary 5⭐️ retreat combines sleek design, gorgeous Mediterranean views, multiple pools, fantastic dining and a stunning spa, making it perfect for both couples and families alike.

What I loved most from my visit? The laid-back luxury. No stuffiness, no fuss – just beautiful surroundings, exceptional service and plenty of spaces to unwind and soak up the Cypriot sunshine.

If you’re looking for a hotel that offers both style and substance, Almyra should definitely be on your shortlist for Cyprus. 🇨🇾☀️

Would you choose a sea-view room or spend your days by the adults-only pool? 👇

⛴️✨ Never been on a river cruise? You might be missing one of the best ways to travel!

Forget everything you think you know about cruising. River cruising is relaxed, immersive, effortless and incredible value for money and full of little moments and memories to cherish forever.

Imagine unpacking just once, then waking up in a different beautiful destination almost every day. One week you could be strolling through charming medieval towns, exploring famous cities, visiting vineyards, castles and local markets – all without the hassle of airports, trains, packing and unpacking.

🍽️ Delicious gourmet dining
🥂 Drinks included on many sailings
🛏️ Comfortable, stylish accommodation
🎭 Excursions and experiences
🌍 Multiple destinations for one price
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Perfect for couples, friends, solo travellers and families on selected sailings

One of the things I love most is how easy everything is. Your floating boutique hotel travels with you, while the scenery glides past your window. No rushing, no stress, just incredible views and unforgettable experiences.

And when you compare the cost of hotels, meals, transport and sightseeing in several destinations, river cruising often offers fantastic value for money.

Whether you’ve dreamed of exploring the Danube, the Rhine, the Douro or beyond, there really is a river cruise for almost everyone.

✨ Why book your holiday with me?

With all the recent travel disruption, I wanted to take a moment to remind you why having someone on hand every step of the way can be priceless.

Planning a trip should feel exciting, not stressful. When you book through me, you’re not just choosing a destination, you’re choosing reassurance, support and someone who genuinely has your back.

⭐ Your holiday is protected
Package holidays come with financial protection, meaning your money and your plans are safeguarded if things don’t go as expected.

⭐ Everything is joined up
Flights, hotels and extras are arranged together, so every part of your trip works seamlessly rather than being a patchwork of separate bookings.

⭐ A real person looking after it all
If flights change, plans shift or you simply need advice, you won’t be navigating it alone. I’m here to handle the details and help put things right.

⭐ Travel with confidence
From the moment you start planning to the day you return home, there’s someone keeping an eye on your booking and ready to help if needed.

Because holidays should be about enjoying the journey, not worrying about what might go wrong.

If you’re thinking about your next trip, I’d love to help you plan it. ✈️🌍

🌊 Crete, but make it effortless…

On Crete’s north coast, Grecotel Marine Palace & Aqua Park sits just moments from the traditional fishing village of Panormos, blending beach time, authentic Greek charm and plenty to keep little ones happy.

This is the kind of all-inclusive break where days are easy. Mornings at the aqua park (slides, splash zones, proper fun), afternoons swapping between pool and sandy beach, and evenings wandering into the harbour for a relaxed dinner by the sea.

✨ Why families love it:
• Multiple pools – from lively to laid-back
• On-site aqua park (a real highlight)
• Direct beach access
• Village-style layout that feels spacious but everything’s close
• Walk into Panormos for tavernas and sunset strolls

And if you fancy exploring, Rethymno Old Town is nearby with its Venetian streets and hilltop fortress views.

You’ll stay in a Marin Bay Family Bungalow (Side Sea View) – designed properly for families (not just extra beds squeezed in). Light coastal interiors, space for everyone, and that Cretan Sea backdrop for morning coffees and sunset wind-downs.

What’s included:
✈️ Flights from London Gatwick – 23/08/2026
🚗 Private transfers
🏨 7 nights all-inclusive
🏖 Marin Bay Family Bungalow (Side Sea View)
💫 Exclusive 10% discount

7 nights from £6,675 for a family of 4

Subject to availability. Price correct at time of posting. Local charges and T&Cs apply. Travel insurance available at booking.

✨ Crete, but make it effortlessly elegant ✨

Perched right on the water’s edge, Elounda Bay Palace is the kind of place where your biggest decision of the day is pool or beach… and luckily, you don’t have to choose 💙

With direct access to two Blue Flag sandy beaches, complimentary sunbeds, and the impeccable service you’d expect from a Leading Hotel of the World, this is coastal Crete at its very best.

Spend your days:
🌿 Lounging by the indoor or outdoor pools or under ancient olive trees
🍹 Sipping something cold at the Sail-In Bar with sea views that stop you mid-sentence
🍽️ Dining on exceptional local and international cuisine
🧖‍♀️ Resetting at the penthouse spa with indulgent, results-driven treatments
🚤 Adding adventure with watersports, diving, tennis — or a boat trip to historic Spinalonga

And the cherry on top?
🌍 80% of staff and ingredients are local — so every stay comes with a genuinely warm Cretan welcome and an authentic taste of the island.

What’s included:
✈️ Flights from London Gatwick (09/05/2026)
🏨 7 nights at Elounda Bay Palace
🛏️ Classic Mountain View Room
🍽️ Half-board
