Mentally on the beach...

Are you a surfer or a calm-sea swimmer? Do you want to be able to stroll to a few shops & restaurants in the evening or do you like complete seclusion & isolation? Do you prefer a house reef or are you happy to venture further for your snorkelling? Is the sea safe enough for your toddlers to paddle in? At that time of year, which coastline will be sheltered from the trade winds? These are all questions that we're used to answering and which, when taken care of by someone who appreciates that these details matter, can elevate a simple beach holiday from satisfactory to sublime.

The first stop for us is Huvafen Fushi in the Maldives...complete with underwater spa and lagoon-size infinity pool. Best months to be there? November-April.

Next stop is Bali. Do you prefer the bustling beaches of Seminyak or the sheltered seclusion of Jimbaran Bay? And will you venture to the neighbouring island of Lombok? The Legian Sire is looking very smart ahead of its’ re-opening in May this year. Best months to be here? June-October

Vietnam is very popular this year and for good reason. We love the island of Phu Quoc and the beaches around Nha Trang - still relatively unspoilt. Best months to be here? November-March.

Closer to home? Some of our favourite European beaches can be found in Ibiza, Puglia, Sardinia, and the Greek islands. Ask us about the selection of villas we have within an easy drive of these beaches. Best time to be here? May and September are our favourite months. June-August are lovely too but hot, hot, hot.
