MAY HALF TERM FAMILY ALL INCLUSIVE MAURITIUS FROM £6,999

Next spring, give the whole family something to look forward to – an All Inclusive beach escape to The Ravenala Attitude in Mauritius!

Imagine this: sun that shines brighter, seas that sparkle clearer, and food so good it’s practically a reason to travel on its own. Set on the shores of Turtle Bay, this laid-back resort has thought of everything – especially when it comes to dining.

From Mauritian specialties to international favourites, there’s something to tempt every taste bud (yes, even the picky ones!).

While the kids dive into their own adventures, you can explore Otentik Attitude experiences – think cooking classes, market visits, and even dinner in a local home. Or simply grab a cocktail and unwind in one of the adults-only spaces.

Watersports? Absolutely. Kayaking, windsurfing, stand-up paddleboarding, and glass-bottom boat rides are all included.

And with a 25% hotel saving including, why wait? Mauritius is calling – book now and make next year’s family holiday the ultimate escape!

👋 Meet the Team! 👋

I've had lots of new followers lately so thought it time to re introduce ourselves!

Meet Tina & Alan, my Business Partners (and me, of course! 🙂)

Like me, Tina & Alan, are proud to own our travel agency where we put you first every time.

Being independent means we can offer the very best holiday options to suit you. Whether you’re looking for a Jet2 holidays package to the Mediterranean, a completely tailor-made itinerary, or something a little different, we’re here to help.

Tina is our Florida specialist and knows Disney and Universal inside out. She has even been invited by them twice in the past two years, giving her first-hand knowledge of the latest attractions, resorts and insider tips to help you get the very best from your holiday.

Alan has a real passion for the Far East and loves creating bespoke holidays to Thailand, Vietnam and Bali, carefully designing itineraries that combine culture, beaches, adventure and unforgettable experiences.

And little old me ...well! 😊

What can I say ...I love doing group bookings; school groups, sporting groups, any kind of group you care to mention, along with doing 100s of bespoke itineraries to Japan, Australia, New Zealand (and everywhere else in between), as well as Corporate travel too.

From cosy UK lodge breaks and unforgettable African safaris to scenic rail journeys across Canada or authentic adventures in Vietnam, we’ll create the perfect trip to match your budget, interests and travel style.

Wherever you’re dreaming of next, we’d love to help make it happen.

📍 Feel free to get in touch to start planning your next adventure – and remember, when you book with us, you’re supporting a local business. ❤️✈️
