Beach Holidays

The shore thing

The sun is shining in a bright blue sky, it’s lovely and warm, you have a refreshing cocktail in one hand, your towel in the other, now you just need an idyllic beach on which to simply kick back and relax.

Whatever type of beach you seek, I always like to recommend based on personal experience - but if I can’t, I will find someone who can.

Here are some of mine and my client's favourites, all work for families and couples alike:

Mauritius
Australia
Greece
Hawaii
Thailand
Bali
Seychelles
Maldives
Sardinia
Cuba
