Happy September, and welcome back to the working week!

With the kids settling into a new school year and the bank holiday behind us, there’s no better time to start planning your own escape - September is one of my favourite months to book, with the warmth of summer still lingering but far fewer crowds to contend with!

This week I’m delighted to be working on a bespoke Japan and Hong Kong itinerary for a new client who found me via a lovely referral - there’s no better compliment than being recommended.

Mid-month I’ll be in London meeting with a specialist representation company to get the latest updates on their portfolio, ready to bring fresh inspiration to your travel plans, before a little hop over to Northern Tenerife at the end of September to discover a side of the island many visitors never see!

Meanwhile, my clients are checking-in for the ranch life in Montana, and huge congratulations to our recently returned honeymooners, who enjoyed the most beautiful adventure across Canada and Antigua - wishing you both a lifetime of happiness together!

And with clients soon jetting off to Italy and Greece for their own late summer escapes, it’s clear the season’s magic isn’t over yet. If you fancy joining them, get in touch to start planning your own adventure. Contact link in comments!

SURPRISE ME! Where in the world…? 🗺️

Powder-white sand, water shifting from sapphire to translucent turquoise, and a private island so quiet you’ll forget there’s anywhere else to be.

This is a somewhere that’s ideal to include at the end of a longer trip… a few days to do absolutely nothing after the spice markets, the winding alleyways and the history. Just reef, sky and quiet.

Welcome back to ‘Surprise Me’ - the feature where I share destinations that defy expectations, and you get to guess where in the world it is.

Think you know? Drop your guess below 👇🏼

I’ll pop the answer in the comments later…

🦁 3 nights at Pumba Private Game Reserve, Impala Chalet, Full Board - a malaria-free Big Five reserve with morning and afternoon game drives led by expert rangers

OMAN: one of the Middle East’s most captivating destinations! 🇴🇲

A country of remarkable contrast, where ancient forts, vast golden deserts, dramatic mountain wadis, and a pristine Arabian Sea coastline exist side by side in a landscape of quiet, extraordinary beauty. It’s one of the region’s most underrated discoveries.

At its cultural heart, Muscat is a city that immediately impresses - elegant, unhurried, and immaculately kept, with the stunning Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, a labyrinthine souk, and a corniche that catches the evening light in the most beautiful way.

Beyond the capital, Oman opens up spectacularly…

The vast rust-red dunes of the Wahiba Sands offer an authentic desert experience - nights spent beneath a canopy of stars in a luxury tented camp are simply unforgettable - whilst the dramatic Hajar Mountains and their ancient carved wadis reward those who venture inland with scenery of breathtaking scale.

Oman is a perfect choice of destination for those who wish to combine adventure with relaxation.

The pristine beaches and warm waters of the Musandam Peninsula and the Dhofar coast provide the perfect counterpoint to days spent exploring forts, falaj irrigation systems, and traditional Omani villages that feel largely unchanged by time.

From the UK, Oman is around a seven hour direct flight, making it an accessible yet genuinely exotic escape.

Welcoming, safe, and endlessly fascinating, it is a country that quietly exceeds expectations.

DISNEY’S NEXT ACT… at sea!! 🚢✨

Big Disney news and it’s not about theme parks this time!

Disney Cruise Line has just unveiled plans for a brand-new class of cruise ships, joining its fleet from 2029, 2030 and 2031. They’ll each carry around 3,000 guests, sitting neatly between the intimate scale of the original Disney Magic and Disney Wonder and the grandeur of the 4,000-passenger Wish-class ships. They’ll open the door to fresh itineraries and destinations we haven’t seen from Disney before!

And if you can’t wait that long, Disney Believe arrives late NEXT YEAR as the fourth Wish-class ship… with a Moana-themed Grand Hall and entertainment inspired by Encanto, Frozen, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Moana and The Little Mermaid. Even the exterior tells a story… Woody and Buzz on the stern, Tinker Bell on the bow ✨ 💫

👉🏼 If you’ve done Disney on land, Disney at sea is a wonderfully different way to embrace the magic - full days of theming, characters and storytelling, but with the ease of unpacking once and waking up somewhere new!

I build Disney Cruise Line into bespoke holidays for my clients, whether that’s a stand-alone cruise or paired with an Orlando park stay for the best of both worlds.

If this has piqued your interest, I’d love to chat through options with you.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT 🔦
📍 THE DOLLI at Acropolis 🇬🇷

In the heart of Athens, gazing straight at the Parthenon and just steps from the Acropolis itself, sits one of the city’s most iconic boutique hotels.

Voted #1 Best Hotel in Greece at the Condé Nast Traveller Readers’ Choice Awards (with plenty more accolades to its name), THE DOLLI perfectly captures the glory of the ancient wonders alongside the vibrant energy of the city below.

A truly stunning property, and one everyone should experience at least once 🇬🇷
