Monopoli, a charming seaside town where historic walls, picturesque streets and sea views create an authentic Mediterranean setting.

Wander through its whitewashed old town, discover hidden corners and enjoy the laid-back atmosphere of Puglia, where the sea is never far away. From slow mornings by the harbour to golden-hour strolls along the coast, Monopoli is the perfect place to experience the authentic charm of southern Italy.

Some lessons aren't taught in school, they're discovered on a family trip 🏰

Standing in front of a centuries-old castle, kids don't just see stone walls, they imagine knights, princesses, and stories that come alive right before their eyes. They learn about history and the world beyond just books at school. They're out in the field. And parents get to relive that same sense of wonder, this time through their children's eyes.

Because that's the real gift of family holidays: watching your children's imagination run wild, while you get to slow down, explore, and enjoy every one of these moments together.

That's why we've built a whole collection of family trips, made for every kind of adventure, every kind of family and every kind of need. Head to our website and find the trip your family will talk about for years. 🧡

International Dog Day !

Today, we're celebrating some of the four-legged members of the High Point Holidays family.

Many of our team members share their love for travel, nature and the outdoors with their loyal companions, and we thought this was the perfect opportunity to introduce a few of them.

Whether it's hiking through the countryside, exploring new trails, enjoying a beach walk or simply joining us for a well-deserved break, these dogs are often part of the adventure.

We also regularly receive requests for dog-friendly getaways, and we're always happy to help our clients create tailor-made trips where every member of the family is welcome.

Because at High Point Holidays, experience is everything... and some of the best memories are made with a wagging tail by your side.

Where experience is everything.

Recently, Marine, one of our Operation Girls, took advantage of the summer sunshine to explore a section of the GR93 in the Vercors, hiking from Font d’Urle to Refuge de Tubanet.

Days like these remind us why we love creating walking holidays. It's not just about reaching a destination, it's about slowing down, immersing yourself in nature, discovering hidden corners, and enjoying those unexpected moments that make a journey truly memorable.

For more than 15 years, we've been designing self-guided walking holidays that go beyond the obvious. From peaceful vineyard trails in Beaujolais to challenging mountain routes in the Alps, our itineraries are carefully crafted to help you experience each region at your own pace.

✔️ Walk independently
✔️ Stay in hand-picked local guesthouses
✔️ Enjoy luggage transfers and detailed route notes
✔️ Discover authentic local culture, food, and hospitality

Because the best way to experience a place is one step at a time.

Some places are beautiful. Others become unforgettable because of the way you experience them.

Hidden beneath the dramatic cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, the Fiordo di Furore reveals a different side of Italy, one best discovered from the water, surrounded by towering rock formations and the gentle rhythm of the Mediterranean.

At High Point Holidays, we believe that travel is about more than simply seeing a destination. It is about the moments that make you feel truly connected to it: taking the scenic route, discovering hidden corners and experiencing a place in a way that stays with you long after you return home.

Because where experience is everything, every journey is designed around the moments that make it uniquely yours. ✨

We asked the team for one song that sums up their summer... here's what we got 🎵

The result of this little sharing moment? So many different styles of songs. And that's exactly where we realized what builds a good balance within a company. Turns out, it wasn't really about the music.

It's about sharing parts of who we are within a company, and about the diversity that comes with it: different backgrounds, different tastes, different ways of seeing things. And that diversity is exactly what makes us stronger. Everyone brings their own strengths, their own expertise, their own perspective, and together, that's what allows us to build journeys that truly fit each and every one of our clients.

Wh**ky tasting... in France? 🥃🇫🇷

For us, great travel experiences are about much more than ticking off famous landmarks.

At High Point Holidays, we’re passionate about finding the hidden gems that make a destination truly special. We spend time meeting local experts, visiting our suppliers, and building genuine relationships with the people behind the experiences we recommend.

That’s why our travellers can enjoy moments like this: stepping inside an independent French wh**ky distillery, meeting the makers, hearing their stories, and discovering a side of France that few visitors ever experience.

A huge thank you to the team at **ky for their warm welcome and for sharing their passion, expertise and unique craft with us. Experiences like these are what help us create truly meaningful journeys for our travellers.

Because we believe the best journeys are built around authentic encounters, local expertise, and meaningful connections.

Experience Europe through the people who make it unique.
