A little extra sparkle for an Ikos favourite ✨

Ikos Oceania is my most-booked Ikos resort for 2027 so far and several of my clients secured their holidays before its latest refurbishment was announced.

Over winter 2026/27, all 290 rooms and suites will be redesigned, with soft coastal colours, pale woods and natural fabrics inspired by the landscapes of Halkidiki.
As the original Ikos resort, Oceania holds a special place in the collection. Its rooms last underwent a major refurbishment ready for the 2017 season, so I’m excited to see this next chapter take shape.
For me, the food and service at Oceania are exemplary, even by Ikos standards. Pair that with refreshed rooms and there’s plenty to look forward to. Oceania was the first Ikos resort I visited back in 2017 (wish I could get the same glow up this winter). Its where my love for the concept began.

It’s also lovely to see Ikos continuing to invest in its established resorts. I can’t wait to see the finished result and hear more about what comes next in phase 2.

Whether you’re planning your first Ikos holiday or returning for another, I regularly book across the collection and can help you choose the resort and room that suit your family.

Send me a message with “IKOS” to start planning.

Not every holiday needs to be two weeks long. ✈️🤍

In recent years, there has been a shift in how people choose to travel. Rather than saving everything for that one big summer holiday, more of us are looking at shorter breaks throughout the year, a few days switching off, a long weekend experiencing a different culture or an adventurous escape to try something completely different.

Perhaps it’s the pace of the world we live in that makes us crave those moments of restoration more often. Or perhaps it’s simply that the world feels more accessible than ever, with so many different places to explore and experiences to discover.

And I love that.

A three or four night break can be just as memorable as a fortnight away. Sometimes, a change of scenery is all you need to reset, reconnect or come home feeling a little more like yourself.

So, if you’re already thinking about your next escape, here are a few destinations that lend themselves beautifully to a shorter break, particularly during the winter months.

Think cosy mountain retreats, crisp walks, beautiful spa hotels, atmospheric city breaks and long weekends filled with adventure, whether that's exploring somewhere new or simply taking a little time out from the everyday.

Because travel doesn't always have to be about going further or staying longer. Sometimes, it's simply about finding the right place for the time you have. 🤍

Which would you choose for your next short escape a cosy winter retreat, a spa reset or a long weekend packed with adventure?👇

🇬🇷 10 MICHELIN Key Hotels in Greece for Families ⭐️

Some hotels just manage to set themselves apart.

Whilst a 5-star rating tells you something about the hotel, a MICHELIN Key adds another layer of recognition highlighting properties that stand out for their service, character and overall experience.

I’ve started with my top 10 MICHELIN Key hotels across mainland Greece and the Greek islands, and as you’ll see, they’re all very different.

Some are incredible family resorts where you could spend a full week soaking up everything the hotel has to offer. Others are better suited to a shorter 3/4 night escape, a special occasion or a family looking for something a little more experiential.

What they all have in common is that extra level of recognition from the MICHELIN Guide that sets them apart within an already crowded luxury hotel market.

So whether you’re looking for exceptional service, incredible dining, beautiful design, family facilities, privacy or a completely different Greek experience, there’s something here to inspire you.

Save this one for your Greek holiday planning 🇬🇷

And if one of these has caught your eye, feel free to get in touch. I’d be very happy to talk through the options and help you work out which one is actually the right fit for your family.

Because ultimately, luxury is finding the hotel that matches your desires and allows you to holiday in the way that brings you joy.

It’s not simply about the star rating, or even the number of MICHELIN Keys a hotel holds. It’s about understanding why that hotel has been recognised for its experience and whether those things are actually what will make your holiday special.

That’s the part I can help with. 🤍

🇨🇭 LOW ON ANNUAL LEAVE BUT STILL WANT TO EXPLORE?

What if you could squeeze in a little Swiss city escape without using the last of your holiday allowance?

This 2-night Zurich break gives you almost three full days in the city, with flight times that make the most of your weekend and just 1 days annual leave!

✈️ London Luton → Zurich
🗓️ Saturday 21st – Monday 23rd November 2026
⏰ Outbound 07:05
⏰ Return 20:10
🏨 Alden Suite Hotel Splügenschloss Zurich
🛏️ 2 nights | Room Only
👫 2 adults sharing
💰 From £465pp
💷 Plus approx. £13 total resort fees

And the hotel itself is rather lovely.

This is a small, boutique all-suite hotel with just 22 oversized suites, so you're getting plenty of space even on a short city break.

✨ Every room is a suite with a separate lounge, bedroom and oversized bathroom
🌊 Just minutes from the shores of Lake Zurich
📍 Around 0.5km from the city centre
🍷 Cosy bistro-style restaurant serving Swiss specialities
🥃 Evening lounge with an extensive w**e, wh**ky and cocktail menu

I particularly like the idea of Zurich at this time of year.

You can spend your days wandering the beautiful old town, exploring the lakeside, enjoying Swiss food and finding cosy little bars and cafés before the full December Christmas rush arrives.

And getting around is easy too Zurich's excellent tram network makes exploring the city really straightforward, so you don't need to spend your precious two nights worrying about transport.

Sometimes you don't need a week away to feel like you've properly escaped.

Two nights. One weekend. A completely different city.

If you're low on annual leave but still want to make the most of 2026, send me a message and we can chat.

🇲🇦 LAST-MINUTE MARRAKECH ESCAPE FROM £280PP ✨

Fancy swapping the October chill for 29°C, rooftop terraces, colourful souks and a couple of nights surrounded by the sights, sounds and flavours of Marrakech?

This is a seriously tempting little 2 night city break if you fancy getting away at short notice.

🏨 5* Angsana Riads Collection Marrakech
📍 UNESCO-listed Medina
🛏️ Riad Blanc Studio Room
✈️ London Luton flights included (early flight to maximise your day)
📅 19th–21st October 2026
☀️ Temperatures around 29°C
💰 £280pp

Tucked away within the historic Marrakech Medina, Angsana is perfectly located.

The property is made up of six traditional riad-style guest houses, each built around beautiful open courtyards, with intricate Moroccan architecture, tadelakt walls, colourful zellige tiles and carved details throughout.

And the location is brilliant for a couple of days exploring.

🕌 Jemaa el-Fnaa – around a 10–15 minute walk
🏛️ Bahia Palace – just around the corner
🛍️ Souks, mosques, palaces & hidden courtyards right on your doorstep

Then when you've had enough of the medina…

✨ Relax in the hotel spa with a traditional hammam

🌇 Head up to the rooftop terrace
🍽️ Enjoy authentic Moroccan cuisine in the intimate courtyard restaurant

Think fragrant tagines, couscous, colourful spices and the kind of food that becomes part of the memory of the trip.

And because it's only two nights, this is one of those trips that doesn't need weeks of planning or a huge holiday budget.

Just a few days of sunshine, culture, incredible food and a completely different pace of life. ✨

from £280pp based on two sharing.

🧳 Transfers and baggage can be added for an extra cost.

🎄 EXPERIENCE SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT THIS CHRISTMAS

Ever fancied doing something a little different for Christmas, but never quite known where to start looking?

Perhaps Scotland has been on your wishlist for years, but the thought of organising excursions, transport and everything in between has put you off…

Well, it’s not too late to get a Christmas escape locked in. ✨

Picture this…

A couple of days exploring some of Scotland’s most beautiful scenery, before waking up on Christmas morning surrounded by crisp winter landscapes, cosy surroundings and the Cairngorms.

And then Christmas Day itself…

🥃 Traditional sherry in the lounge
🎄 A full Christmas lunch with all the trimmings
☕ A relaxed afternoon to properly unwind
🍽️ A buffet dinner in the evening
🎶 And a traditional Highland Cèilidh band to finish the day

That feels like a rather lovely way to spend Christmas, doesn't it?

And the best part? You don't have to organise the logistics yourself.

This fully escorted Christmas break includes:

🏨 4 nights’ dinner, bed & Scottish breakfast at the Carrbridge Hotel
🚌 Coach travel & transfers throughout
⛴️ Cruise across Loch Ness
🦌 Visit to the Cairngorm Reindeer Centre
🏔️ Visits to Spean Bridge, Neptune’s Staircase, Fort William & Glenfinnan
✈️ Return flights to Scotland
🧳 One piece of hold luggage per person
👋 Fully escorted by a friendly, experienced tour manager
💷 All mandatory local taxes & charges included

From £1,177pp
📍 Birmingham departure 23/12 - 27/12 (other airports available)
👫 Based on two people sharing

It’s a lovely option if you fancy swapping the usual Christmas routine for something a little more memorable, beautiful scenery, proper Scottish hospitality and a Christmas Day where someone else takes care of the cooking and the logistics. 🎄

And yes… you really can still book it for this Christmas. Get in touch for more details.

FEBRUARY HALF TERM, BUT SOMEWHERE A LITTLE WARMER

If the thought of another February half term wrapped up in coats, waterproofs and wondering what to do with the kids is already filling you with dread… how about swapping the UK winter for somewhere a little warmer? ☀️

But rather than choosing a resort where the only plan is pool… lunch… pool… repeat, this one gives the whole family plenty to enjoy.

📍 Bahía del Duque, Tenerife
📅 15th–22nd February 2027
🌙 7 nights | Bed & Breakfast
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 2 adults + 2 children under 12
🛏️ Interconnecting rooms for extra space & privacy
✈️ Gatwick flights included
🚘 Private transfers
🧳 26kg luggage allowance
💰 From £5,650 total

One of Tenerife’s true grande dame hotels, Bahía del Duque has built a long-standing reputation for thoughtful service and beautiful surroundings and there’s an impressive amount here to keep the whole family entertained.

🏊 Multiple pools (3 heated)
👧 Kids’ club from age 3–12
🎾 Tennis, padel, squash & table tennis
🧘 Yoga, Pilates & fitness
🌿 Botanical gardens & nature walks
🔭 On-site astronomical observatory
🎭 A packed programme of family activities
🏖️ Direct access to Playa del Duque

And then there’s the food…

With 9 restaurants and multiple bars/lounges, you’ve got plenty of choice throughout your stay from Italian and Japanese to Basque, French, Mediterranean and seafood. There’s even Nub, the resort’s Michelin-starred restaurant, for a very special grown-up dinner.

This is one of the things I particularly like about Bahía del Duque for families. You aren't tied to one restaurant, one pool or one routine. There’s plenty happening for the children, whilst the adults still get the feeling that they're staying somewhere genuinely luxurious.

And the interconnecting room setup is another big plus. You get the space and flexibility of two rooms, whilst still keeping everyone close together particularly useful when bedtime arrives but the adults aren't quite ready to call it a night!

So if you're already dreaming of February half term somewhere warmer, with plenty to do but without sacrificing the things that make a holiday feel luxurious, this is definitely one I'd have on the radar.

7 nights from £5,650 total for a family of four.

*Package holiday supplied by easyJet holidays Limited, ATOL 11694. ATOL protection applies to the package and an ATOL Certificate will be issued at booking. Price based on 2 adults + 2 children under 12, departing Gatwick on 15th February 2027 and returning 22nd February 2027, including interconnecting rooms, private transfers and 26kg luggage. Subject to availability and change.*

If February half term is already on your mind, drop me a message and I can look at this or other options that might suit your family. 🤍
