Beach Holidays
Are you craving a little Vitamin Sea?
The beach is the perfect setting for a rejuvenating escape. Epic stretches of sand, quaint towns with boats gently bobbing along the shores, and hidden coves dotted with palm trees. Beach holidays are synonymous with tranquillity, adventure, sunshine, and a kind of childhood nostalgia. The beach offers something for the entire family, whether your idea of a coastal escape involves snorkelling with colourful wildlife, unwinding on a daybed with a gripping novel, or an exhilarating jet ski ride.
From the sun-kissed, turtle-dotted white-sand shores of Costa Rica to the crystal-clear Adriatic waters gracing the coasts of Croatia and Italy, these beach destinations showcase a remarkable diversity of coastal landscapes and cultures, making them some of the finest in the world.
On an escorted holiday, you don’t need to spend any time scouring the map for the perfect swimming spot. Our handpicked holidays offer a combination of beach time, city breaks, historical immersion, additional activities and side trips. Perhaps you will find yourself in Malta where you can explore the historic capital and then retreat to the beach, or you might even fancy going further afield, by combining a four-night safari with a beach resort holiday in Kenya. We also offer a trips closer to home, including a coastal cruise in Jersey. Book your well-earned sunny downtime with us.
