Hand-Picked Resorts

If you're looking for a holiday where the emphasis is on rest and relaxation, with just a little gentle exploration thrown in, our new collection of carefully chosen resort holidays could be just the thing.

Rest and Relax... in some very special places

Spend long sunny days "busy doing nothing" and balmy evenings doing even less in some of Europe's most welcoming resorts. Take the time to indulge your love of walking, golf, sailing or cycling, join one of our optional excursions to discover the history and culture beyond the resort and your hotel, or pick and choose as the mood takes you from day to day.

The choice is yours, but still comes with the reassuring knowledge that your holiday has been organised by one of the UK’s leading tour operators, and that all your flights, transfers and hotel rooms are included in the price.

So join us, in Cyprus or by Lake Como, or in our long-standing favourite Lake Garda, to relax and let your troubles slip away.

It's your holiday... do as little or as much as you like!
