YOUR JOURNEY, IN THREE CHAPTERS

🌴 FIRST, FIND YOUR HOLIDAY PACE
3 nights | Ocean Paradise Resort & Spa
Pwani Mchangani, Zanzibar | Half Board
Wander through tropical gardens, feel the sand beneath your feet and settle into life beside the Indian Ocean. There’s time to read another chapter, linger over breakfast and let the working week feel a little further away.

🐘 THEN, FOLLOW YOUR WILD SIDE
2 nights | Selous Kulinda Camp
Rufiji River, near Nyerere National Park | Full Board
Fly from Zanzibar to Tanzania’s mainland and trade the beach for the bush. Head out on shared game drives in Nyerere, looking for elephants, lions and African wild dogs, then return to your riverside camp. Every sighting is a possibility. That anticipation is part of the magic.

🐚 FINISH SOMEWHERE INTIMATE
4 nights | The Island Pongwe Lodge
Pongwe Bay, Zanzibar | Half Board | Adults only
A boutique retreat on a coral-rock islet, shaped by the ocean and its changing tides. Four final nights to slow down, enjoy each other’s company and savour the island setting.

A stunning, brand new geothermal lagoon and wellness retreat, Reykjaböð Hot Springs, is due to open in Iceland on 1st September 🇮🇸

Nestled at the entrance to the Reykjadalur Valley in Hveragerði, it features a mineral-rich, 900-square-metre lagoon (heated to 37-40°C), alongside a Nordic bathhouse offering an invigorating wellness ritual designed to soothe both mind and body with a blend of warm and cold therapies.

Step inside and you'll find the likes of a snow room, a herbal pool, a steam bath, a dry sauna, a cold plunge pool and a fire pit. Massages, facials, skin treatments and floating therapies can also be arranged for an even more relaxing and personalised experience.

As well as a swim-up bar, Reykjaböð also has its own bistro restaurant, Réttir, serving authentic, seasonal Icelandic dishes with high quality ingredients sourced from the surrounding landscape.

Reykjaböð can be reached by car from Reykjavik in around 40 minutes, making it easily accessible as a day trip from the capital. It's also an excellent addition to a road trip exploring the Golden Circle or the South Coast.

A really fab add on excursion when booking your next Iceland trip.
