HOLIDAYS CRAFTED WITH HEART

For us, travel will always be about looking beyond a destination to the real-world interactions, the marvellous moments to be had and how we make people feel while experiencing it all. From enhancing your world view and challenging your perspectives, to taking some all-important time out with the sole intention of being utterly pampered, a holiday needs more depth than just simply its landscape.

Whatever your passion or drive for travel, few things have the same capacity to lift us up and make us feel alive, injecting true joy into our lives and returning us safely home a more relaxed, more refreshed, and more fulfilled version of ourselves. Armed with your dream destination, boundless imagination and a goal to make you fall in love with a place as much as we do, we’re here to help you connect with communities, individuals, and perhaps most importantly, with yourselves and each other.

The way we choose to see the world, creates the world we see
Six Senses Bhutan

A little human connection goes a long way

The value of travel isn’t decided by the place, it is decided by the people. Both the people who ephemerally cross borders and the ones who call somewhere their home. It is about both education and indulgence, curiosity and comfort, self-improvement and the downright sensational. We see the world as a cornucopia of possibilities, because after all, everyone’s definition of a holiday is different.

It’s no secret that in these digital-savvy times technology has the power to make everything easy. Brilliantly and effortlessly easy. But we must admit, there’s a distinct lack of personal attention and heart; that’s where we come in. For every request there is a Carrier expert who is solely dedicated to your personalised trip from start to finish. We strive to plan everything to perfection, using our time to save yours and utilising our friends in high places to invite you to experience a country like you never thought possible.

We reach for the immersive, the authentic and the entertaining, but we believe that a journey should be one thing above the rest – thoughtful.

Because here at Carrier, it’s all about how we make people feel.

HOLIDAY, THE CARRIER WAY

To give you an indication of how much your holiday may cost, we have included a guide price for each of the trips featured across the pages. We’re thoughtful about making sure our prices are based on travelling at the very best time of year, include our favourite room types and the most comfortable flight seats. We will customise every trip to you – our quotes are completely bespoke and based on your individual needs, preferences and budget.

AFRICA

It’s as though Mother Nature couldn’t decide which environs she loved most.

Wildlife, winelands and desert – yes – the image conjured with those three words is surely one of Africa. A land of colour and contrasts; from deep red skies, dazzling white sands and lush rainforests to chic cities and thrilling safari encounters – Africa stirs the senses and the soul.

Described by Sir Francis Drake as ‘the fairest cape in all the world’, the vibrant city of Cape Town is the starting point for this South African discovery. A jam-packed five days ensure plenty of moments that will please the whole clan. Children lead seaside explorations by bike and hear stories of the Mother City’s history before setting off penguin spotting. While downtime comes in the form of kid-friendly sundowners and a stop at a local farm village for homemade ice cream.

Then, it’s into the wilderness to Tswalu Kalahari Game Reserve where days are spent searching for iconic wildlife on private game drives and enjoying the scenery from a different vantage point on horseback. In the outdoor classroom, guides and trackers become the teachers and learning about conservation is ‘edutainment’ at its best.

Game drives are a must, while downtime is best spent sipping sundowners at the ocean-facing bar. After soaking up the sights, the trip ends with blissful seclusion on a picture-perfect, palm-fringed golden beach.

Learn first-hand the age-old tea making process from discovering the rules of tea picking to exploring the factory where fresh leaves are converted into black tea.

Whether you’re experienced or a novice, take a one-on-one surf lesson with experienced local surfers in a country known for its breaks.

An early start is made worthwhile as you join a local fisherman to learn the traditional handline method of fishing, before the resort chef prepares it for your dinner.

NEGOMBO | Despite being just a 15-minute hop from Colombo Airport, the boutique Wallawwa Hotel is anything but an average airport hotel. Carved from a historic manorhouse and tucked away in rural hinterland, there’s a serene spa, well-stocked library, pool and lush gardens.

HILL COUNTRY | A product from the days of British rule, the restored plantation of Ceylon Tea Trails became the world’s first tea bungalow resort. Four distinct residencies, decorated with period furnishings open directly onto flower filled gardens and contain wide verandas, freestanding baths and open fires.

TANGALLE | A collection of villas curved around one of the best beaches on the island, Amanwella is resplendent in inimitable Aman style. Overlooking the sea is a 47-metre pool, which is in turn overlooked by the panoramic restaurant that serves local seafood.

CARIBBEAN & MEXICO

The irresistible lure of colourful variety.

It’s all idyllic landscapes, take-it-easy vibes and tales of pirate treasure… at least, that’s what the newbies think. But those in the know, they see that not all these islands are cut from the same cloth. From Mexico’s spiritual vibrations and Barbados’ sporty side to Grenada’s spice and chocolate plantations, there’s much more than meets the eye.

Grenada & St Lucia

Curated twosome

Low-key refinement comes in the form of spice capital, Grenada where the air is scented with an intoxicating blend of fresh spices and the coastline fringed by dreamy beaches. Spend time exploring the charming capital, St George’s, while inland the forests and waterfalls of the Grand Etang National Park invite discovery and cooling dips. Next, it’s on to what is said to be one of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean. From soaring above the majestic Pitons to sampling jazz and cocoa-infused fare, St Lucia is all about experiencing the island’s laid-back lifestyle and exuberant culture.

SILVERSANDS GRENADA

This significant game changer is unlike anything else in the region – the perfect spot to experience unspoiled Grenada. Set on the world famous Grand Anse Beach, this boutique resort entices guests into a contemporary refuge where time itself seems to slow down. Unwind in the serene spa with transformative treatments inspired by the spices of the island.

SUGAR BEACH, A VICEROY RESORT ST LUCIA

Built around the atmospheric ruins of an 18th century sugar mill, all accommodation comes with a plunge or infinity-edge pool, and treetop treatment rooms nourish body and soul with ingredients from volcanic spring and cocoa plantations. Non-motorised water sports are all complimentary, while the simplest of pleasures can be found on a nature walk under the rainforest canopy.

GUIDE PRICE | 10 NIGHTS FROM £12,685 PER PERSON

Including international flights, internal flights, transfers, 5 nights at Silversands Grenada and 5 nights at Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort. Based on 2 adults sharing.

LOCALLY INSPIRED REMEDIES

Silversands Grenada | With traditional treatments infused with Grenadian spice and locally sourced ingredients that are nourishing and rich in minerals, the spa is a must. Opt for a bamboo massage; used for generations throughout the Caribbean, this method eases muscles and tension using a specially heated bamboo cane.

TREETOP ADVENTURE

Barbados & The Grenadines

Curated twosome

Outwardly, Barbados is a fusion of Bajan fare fragrances and Oliver Messel-designed houses, plus a UNESCO listed historic capital for good measure. Yet venture further in and you’ll discover an island in possession of a carefree surf scene, a child-friendly carnival spirit and even a slice of the Scottish Highlands. True to form, Barbados dances to its own unique calypso rhythm. The get-away-from-it-all travellers seek out paradise away from the tourist traps, and that’s exactly what awaits on Canouan. There’s an overwhelming sense of sophisticated separation on this small Grenadines island.

SANDY LANE BARBADOS

Sandy Lane exists in its own Palladian-style microcosm made up of chauffeured Rolls-Royces and celebrity patrons who treat it as a home-awayfrom-home. And yet, despite all this grandeur the homely atmosphere ensures its enduring popularity is ever tangible. Life here is so intrinsically easy and unhurried, it’s no surprise it’s consistently ranked as the best place to stay on Barbados.

MANDARIN ORIENTAL CANOUAN

An exclusive hideout whose appeal lies in its anonymity, this castaway haven for an elite few is fast putting this lesser known Caribbean island on the map. With only 26 suites and 14 villas it’s easy to see how the resort has maintained its under-the-radar status. This is a place where everything comes together in true M.O. fashion.

GUIDE PRICE | 10 NIGHTS FROM £13,885 PER PERSON

Including international flights, internal flights, transfers, 5 nights at Mandarin Oriental, Canouan and 5 nights at Sandy Lane. Based on 2 adults sharing.

TEE OFF IN STYLE

Sandy Lane | The golf courses here – that’s right plural, there’s three of them – are some of the finest in the world. Teeing off at the Old Nine and The Country Club involves gazing at sweeping views of the island’s west coast, but real golf aficionados are found waiting their turn to play the renowned Green Monkey.

TOBAGO CAYS

Mandarin Oriental, Canouan | A bio-diverse marine park and backdrop to parts of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, this cluster of five uninhabited islets is the best way to experience the natural beauty of St Vincent and the Grenadines.

Bahamas & Turks & Caicos

Curated twosome

With hundreds of miniature islands surrounded by warm, crystalline seas, the Bahamas is both evocative and idyllic. Days are filled strolling along the sugar soft sands, diving into an astonishingly colourful underwater world, or exploring the clapboard houses that dot picturesque Dunmore Town. A short hop takes you to Turks & Caicos where the bluest of seas lap gently against beaches of near-impossible beauty. Powdery sands stretch for miles flanked by welcoming beach bars and cool cafes. When a spell of activity beckons, hire a kayak and explore limestone caves and a labyrinth of mangroves.

THE OCEAN CLUB, A FOUR SEASONS RESORT BAHAMAS

Opened in the 1960s, this island institution continues to meld a laid-back Bahamian vibe with Versaillesinspired gardens, buttoned-up personal butlers and a spa with Balinese treatment rooms. A martini bar and lounge sets the scene at this distinctive resort that featured in not one but two James Bond movies.

Unabashedly contemporary in feel, this Asianinflected resort on the shores of a nature reserve has an away-from-it-all feel. With access to some of the finest scuba diving and snorkelling in this archipelago as well as one of the most heavenly sunset views from its vast infinity pool, you’ll be released from your worldly cares for the duration of your stay.

Nevis & Anguilla

Curated twosome

Nevis, a tropical paradise where a timeless charm provides the backdrop to a tranquil island escape. The pace of life here is deliciously slow and sleepy, the verdant landscape undeveloped and delightfully unspoiled. It’s then on to Anguilla, where if it could speak, it would insist everyone cast aside their concept of schedules and worries upon setting foot on its rustic flat soil. This is a place where big names fly under-the-radar and all the usual life admin is abandoned in favour of unwinding on the best beaches in the Caribbean.

FOUR SEASONS RESORT NEVIS

Harmony with nature is the watchword at this stylish property with its surprising and utterly unforgettable experiences both on land and at sea. Stargazing from the spa during a private candlelit evening, taking to the golf course alongside green vervet monkeys and even lassoing your entrée for a beachfront lobster feast – you couldn’t get further away from the nine-to-five.

CAP JULUCA, A BELMOND HOTEL ANGUILLA

The Moorish-style architecture at this undeniably glamorous resort might have been inspired by the souks of Morocco, but the azure sea and pure-white sands are unmistakably Anguillan. Surrounded by colourful botanicals and exotic indigenous plants, contemporary touches blend with old-world design to make this a truly stunning sanctuary of Caribbean calm.

GUIDE PRICE | 12 NIGHTS FROM £16,330

A cosmopolitan crowd bestows an atmosphere of casual sophistication, beautifully drenched in a profusion of French flavour. St Barths oozes style, glamour and an inspiring, friendly vibe; it’s the place to be and be seen. While the relatively unspoiled and relaxing island of Antigua – this is every inch your typical Caribbean Island – supposedly has a beach for everyday of the year. However, delve beyond its palm-fringed exterior and you’ll discover a unique maritime heritage, still living through its love of sailing and water sports.

EDEN ROCK ST BARTHS

With a past steeped in Hollywood’s golden age and a clever continuation of what went before, this island icon’s reputation is strong enough to endure any storm. A two year closure following hurricane Irma gave its owners the opportunity to refurbish and expand on the foundations. Now, this family-owned retreat has reclaimed its place atop St Barth’s must-stay list.
