 Adventure

New Zealand; the land of rolling landscapes, momentous views and jaw dropping scenery, you will be sure to leave with a holiday album to put all others shame. Grab a set of wheels and take your own tour of New Zealand’s tumbling scenery along the Bronte Peninsula. Fill your luxury family holiday with the adventure New Zealand is famed for, whether that be kayaking at the Abel Tasman National Park, taking on the Kaituna river and its seven meter waterfall white water rafting, Zorbing down lavish green hills, Snorkelling the Great Island Reserve at Leigh, or horseback riding along the unpopulated fine sand Pakiri beach. New Zealand is sure to leave you in awe of its magnificent lands.

Relax

The Maldives; best known for their pure sands and crystal clear oceans, they create the perfect place to unwind and relax with all the family. Chill at one of the many beautiful resorts including The Niyama and Huvafen Fushi where you can enjoy the luxury of your own studio leaving the family free to come and go as they wish. Both resorts are brimming with activities to keep you occupied day or night. Whether you want to jump in at the reef and immerse yourself amongst the local tropical fish, take a boat ride on a Dhonis (traditional Maldivian boat), spend the day in extreme gaming heaven, eat in a floating restaurant, get a head to toe pampering in their 24 hour spa, throw yourself into a variety of water sports or go clubbing underwater at the world’s first underwater bar Subsix, the Maldives has something for everyone.

Culture

Petra Pilgrimage; take the family to experience something really out of the ordinary. Soak up some real culture spending your days amidst the ancient world in colourful souks, elegant mosques and the famed citadel. Explore the ancient amphitheatres, baths and colonnades that make Amman one of the best preserved Roman cities in the world. If that’s not enough your culture soaked tour doesn’t stop there, get fully involved in Jordanian cuisine with exclusive cooking classes that allow you to bring your holiday home with you. Share all this and more with your nearest and dearest, experiences that are sure to leave you buzzing for months after and telling anyone who will listen.
