There’s so much more to Italy than its famous cities and coastlines. Head north, and you’ll find the spectacular Dolomites, a UNESCO-listed mountain landscape of dramatic peaks, alpine meadows, forested valleys and charming villages.

And you don’t have to be a serious hiker to enjoy them!

🚠 Take a cable car – Reach incredible high-altitude scenery without having to tackle a huge climb. Seceda and Alpe di Siusi are particularly spectacular.
🏡 Choose the right base – Stay in stylish Cortina d’Ampezzo, explore the traditional villages of Val Gardena, or experience the food and culture of Alta Badia.
🍝 Eat your way around the mountains – Enjoy traditional Ladin dishes, Italian favourites and long lunches in mountain huts, all surrounded by incredible scenery.
🌿 Slow down in the villages – Spend your mornings exploring the mountains before wandering through charming villages, stopping for coffee or enjoying a leisurely afternoon in the sunshine.

From spectacular hiking routes and cable-car adventures to mountain restaurants and peaceful village afternoons, the Dolomites can be as adventurous or as relaxed as you want them to be. 🏔️🍷

Ready to discover this incredible side of Italy? I’d love to create a tailor-made Dolomites escape around you. 👇🏻

Experience the adventurous side of Turks & Caicos 🇹🇨🌴

Think Turks & Caicos is all about lounging on the beach? Think again! While the powder-soft sands and crystal-clear waters of Grace Bay are reason enough to visit, there’s so much more to discover beyond the sunlounger. ☀️🌊

🚤 Go island-hopping – Take the ferry to North and Middle Caicos and discover quiet beaches, limestone caves, coastal viewpoints and a much slower pace of island life.
🛶 Get out on the water – Kayak or paddleboard through the peaceful mangroves, snorkel over colourful coral reefs, or take to the water for a sunset catamaran cruise.
🐎 Try something different – Swap the beach for a horseback ride along the shoreline or an off-road adventure before returning to the coast for a well-earned swim.
🎶 Experience local life – Head to the Thursday Fish Fry for local food, music and crafts, or enjoy beachfront dining and live music at The Conch Shack.

The best part? You don’t have to choose between adventure and relaxation. Spend the morning exploring, the afternoon on the beach and the evening enjoying local food and music. That’s the beauty of a Turks & Caicos holiday, you can make it as adventurous or as laid-back as you like. 🌴✨

Ready to discover a different side of the Caribbean? I’d love to create a tailor-made Turks & Caicos escape around you. 👇🏻
