Rest-assured, whilst our name has changed we have not. We are still the same small, bespoke and personal Tour Operator, but we can now take you further and on holidays for a lifetime.
In our experience, the best way to beat the January blues is to head abroad. It really does set you up to get through the long dark nights of a UK winter, and leaves you ready for the year ahead. Fly south for some much-needed winter sun; hit the slopes after the schools have all gone back, or immerse yourself in a European city without the hordes.
Costa Rica
Once the Christmas holidays are over, this Central American gem of a country has great availability. And for couples looking for some “us” time, it offers idyllic beaches, rainforests, volcanoes and the most incredible biodiversity you’re likely to encounter anywhere. And also, very essentially, great weather. Head south to the protected Osa Peninsula for humpback whales in the Pacific and tapirs and resplendent quetzals in the forest.

Rome
Miss the queues by visiting in the winter months and enjoy the Eternal City in milder temperatures. Rome in January is quiet and easy to navigate, meaning you’ll get to gaze at the Sistine Chapel with no jostling; wander the Colosseum without distraction and delve deep in the inimitable history and atmosphere in peace and quiet.

Méribel
What can we say, other than, empty slopes? Oh, and often, excellent snow conditions… The Trois Vallées has some of the best off piste skiing around in January, and you can be sure to get your lunch reservations. Wrap up warm though, it’s cold.

Antigua
The Caribbean continues to lure visitors to its palm fringed shores in the early months of the year, thanks to its hot, dry weather and very seductive, laidback vibe. Antigua enjoys temperatures in the high 20s, with little to no humidity – just perfect for flying and flopping, sailing or touring the island. Spend at least one evening at Shirley Heights for a rum punch and the fabulous sounds of steel drums.

Maldives
January promises some of the best water visibility in this tropical archipelago nation – perfect for divers and snorkelers alike. The weather is nigh on perfect, with plenty of sunshine in the late 20s / early 30s – just what you need when you’re lying out on the deck of your overwater villa…

Tenerife
Just a short flight away, and you’re transported to much warmer climes and a very different landscape. Its subtropical oceanic climate makes Tenerife the warmest Canary Island in January, and therefore an ideal month to hike in Tiede National Park, take bracing swims in natural pools, browse crowd-free local markets and feel the sand of Playa de las Teresitas between your toes.

South Africa
Once the festive season is over, the southern tip of Africa is ripe for exploring. Make Cape Town your first stop, for its blue skies and perfect temperatures – the view from Table Mountain could not be clearer – then drive the Garden Route and linger in the Winelands, enjoying the magnificent landscapes and gastronomy of the Cape.

Oman
A little bit of Middle Eastern mystique is the perfect tonic for January. The cool of the mountains is perfect for hiking, the desert is not too hot, whilst the temperatures on the coast make for very pleasant beach time.

Tanzania
January in the Serengeti is one of the very best times to go for game viewing. Wildebeest and zebra are calving, so predators are circling. The climate is warm and dry, making for clear days, and the heavenly beaches of Zanzibar will prepare you for the months ahead.
