We are getting very excited about next summer’s season in the Med. We have some lovely new villas in Mallorca, all of which come with private staff who offer the wonderful service for which we are renowned. And, due to the increasing popularity of our Scott Dunn Explorers programme, we are opening a new club at Sun Gardens in Croatia, exclusively for our guests. Family-time is so precious, we want to ensure your holiday with us is perfect and completely tailored to you and your family.

?JÊIƦ7BB 78EKJƦOEK We want your holiday to be unlike any other. Which is why at Scott Dunn nothing is too much trouble and nothing is left to chance. Our travel specialists know every property and every resort intimately. They’ve taken in the local atmosphere and absorbed the sea views; visited the beaches and sampled the regional food. Across the Mediterranean we have a portfolio of luxurious villas, six Scott Dunn Explorers children’s clubs, a collection of villa estates and a portfolio of superb family hotels to choose from.
We know how precious your time away as a family is, which is why we’ll craft the right holiday in the right destination for you, complete with all the finer touches you can expect from Scott Dunn. We invite you to leaf through these pages for an idea of how your next summer family holiday could be. But to bring it all to life, we’d love the opportunity to talk to you, to explain how we’re different and why Scott Dunn offers something really special.

J?C;ƦJEƦKDM?D: In the north of the Mediterranean basin, Europe dips its toes into the blue of the sea. Vivid green landscapes dotted with fig trees, pine forests and winding roads roll into dramatic coastlines. Stone built cottages and quaint villages in Mallorca contrast with the Byzantine towns of Croatia, sleepy fishing villages in Greece and the glitzy French Riviera. Together, they make the Mediterranean and it’s the perfect place to truly unwind.

Stumble onto remote beaches and watch fishermen haul in their catch, charter a boat and explore hidden coves, wander through lavender fields and stroll through olive groves. Visit local markets, weavers and potters, soaking up the hustle and bustle of daily life, hear the bells jingling on mountain goats, watch donkeys amble along with their load and breathe in the balmy air. You are stepping into a new pace of life…

We want children to have fun on holiday, to be inspired, to be safe and to enjoy an experience to remember. That’s why we have our Explorers children’s clubs at Pine Cliffs, Daios Cove, Verdura, Sun Gardens, Anassa and Almyra. Each day is designed to be a unique surprise, full of new activities, wonder and creativity. Elements of the local area’s culture and traditions are also introduced in a fun and interactive way for children to learn and discover. Our clubs are not just somewhere to leave your children; they offer an environment to make new friends, learn new skills and explore new things, as your children become inventors, artists, adventurers, sporting heroes and chefs. They are places where children will be begging to go back time and time again. For children aged four months to 13 years, the clubs take care of our younger guests, six days a week from 10am to 6pm. The children are divided into four age groups and our friendly childcare team provide a variety of exciting and fun activities on and off-site for each group, ensuring that your children enjoy every moment of their time in the Mediterranean. All of our children’s clubs house plenty of toys and games for all ages, an outdoor play area and a sleep room for our youngest guests. We also provide lunch, high tea, snacks and refreshments throughout the day.

OUR WINTER CHILDCARE
Not only do we have fantastic childcare during the summer months, it is also available for those keen to ski in the Alps with us. We offer a private nanny service to both our chalet and hotel guests in Courchevel 1850, Val d’Isère, Zermatt and St Anton. Our qualified team look after your children throughout the day and will plan an actionpacked programme of fun
indoor and outdoor activities such as tobogganing, swimming and creative games. Our nannies will also accompany them to and from ski school and encourage the younger ones as they try skiing for the first time. After lessons, nannies can stop for a nutritious lunch (catering for any individual tastes or allergies) or even bring your children to meet
For a closer look, please visit scottdunn/winterchildcare or call our Ski specialists on 020 8682 5050
