Celebrating 6 years of Luxeco Holidays ✨

I wanted to pause for a moment to celebrate 6 incredible years in business and to say a heartfelt thank you to every single client who has trusted me with their holidays, and to everyone who has referred me to their friends and family. Your support truly means the world 🌍 (without you we would not exist!)

I’m so proud to have become an award-winning business, planning countless bespoke escapes; from dream honeymoons and special anniversaries to unforgettable family adventures and once‑in‑a‑lifetime trips. It’s a privilege to play a part in your memories.
�I’ve also grown from a one‑woman business into a carefully selected, dedicated team, who are focused on elevating your experience.

We will continue learning, growing and perfecting our processes so we can continue to offer you the very best service you truly deserve.

I must also mention my wonderful supplier partners who are invaluable to my business and the support and technology available at Travel Counsellors which I joined two years ago.

Here’s to the memories we’ve already created together, and to many more extraordinary journeys to come. 🥂 🍾

Wishing you a relaxing Sunday starting with great coffee! (Or drink of choice)

I’m starting Sunday slowly, with a great coffee in hand and time to reset.

It has been a wonderfully busy week crafting tailor‑made escapes for my clients, and I am taking today to recharge so I can bring even more fresh ideas to your holidays next week.

On my clients’ wishlists right now:
➡️ Sri Lanka sunsets
➡️ Turkish coastlines
➡️ Bali retreats
➡️ Australian adventures
➡️ Spanish sunshine
➡️ Japanese culture trips
➡️ Croatian coast hopping
➡️ Norwegian scenery

If you are dreaming of a bespoke escape, send me your enquiry and I will approach it with renewed energy and inspiration next week.

I said “yes” to a supplier event this week when my instinct was to say “I can’t, I’m too busy”… and I’m so glad I did!

A deep-dive into Queensland, Australia gave me loads of fresh ideas and hidden regions to weave into client itineraries, and a Race Across the World experience in Bristol helped me see a familiar city in a completely new way: puzzles, tiny details, fascinating facts and tucked-away pubs and cafés.

Stepping away from the desk isn’t time “lost”, it is where the inspiration comes from.

Thinking about a future Australia adventure? I’d love to help you turn it into something really special. Message me for a chat.

New hotel alert 🔊
Usually, I recommend boutique, family-run accommodation, but this one is worth consideration:
Kimpton Suntaya Bali Ubud redefines soulful wellness along the Wos River. This 101-room sanctuary blends indigenous craftsmanship with design-led luxury, inviting guests to rediscover vitality through the sacred Balinese elements. Experience a sanctuary where heritage and modern luxury converge in the heart of Ubud.
They are about to launch their opening rates, so if you are planning a trip to Bali mid-December onward, it is worth checking out.
Message me today for your tailor-made itinerary.

Teammate Ellie came to visit! We had an immersive day out without leaving the UK. It began with a delicious taste of Vietnam at NoyasKitchen, one of my favourite restaurants in Bath, followed by a med themed paint and sip, French bubbles and Italian pizza making 🍕

Wow 🤩 what an incredible couple of days at the CLIA Luxury Cruise Summit:

⭐️Welcome dinner at Shanghai1814 Restaurant with a stunning tasting menu created by the head chef at Hakkasan in London’s Mayfair

⭐️ A day on board Oceania Marina with insights into the latest in luxury cruising

⭐️Ship tour plus a beautiful 5-course lunch featuring dishes from their speciality restaurants

A real highlight was hearing from the incredibly inspiring Clodagh McKenna Herbert – I can’t wait to watch her new ITV show next month, Clodagh: Cooking at Home, in partnership with Oceania.

Taking part meant valuable time spent away from my desk but taking time to expand my knowledge means I’m even better equipped to match you with your perfect luxury cruise, tailored to your tastes, interests and style of travel.

Thank you to all the suppliers for hosting this wonderful event!

First-timers always ask us if India is too much. Our honest answer: only without a plan.

Done right, India is the most rewarding country we send people to. Palace hotels where royalty actually lived. Some of the most iconic monuments on Earth. Wild tigers, slow river mornings, food that ruins you for the version back home, and colour everywhere you point a camera.

The difference between overwhelming and unforgettable comes down to the details. The right guides, the right routing, the right rhythm between the intensity and the calm. That's what we do.

India with a plan is a completely different country. Reach out, and we'll build yours.

Always dreamed of visiting, but can't make it there as yet? Join us for our wonderful supper club that will transport you there via food and stories. Message me for details.

Vietnam is not a one-stop trip. Basket boats, river valleys, limestone bays, temples, rice terraces, and a very good bowl of noodles all belong to the same country.

I have two sets of clients here this week embarking on a wonderful adventure aboard a Mekong River Cruise!

The range is the appeal, but it is also the planning challenge. A coast-and-culture trip moves differently from one built around the north, and adding every famous stop can create more transit than experience.

We start by deciding which version of Vietnam matters most to you. Then we connect landscapes, cities, food, and time on the water at a pace that leaves room to enjoy them. Good routing matters as much here as the hotel list.

Vietnam keeps climbing client wish lists for a reason. Reach out to start planning.
