Portugal Think of the Algarve in Southern Portugal and most people think of its endless beaches and fabulous climate, which is mild in winter and yet cooled by sea breezes in the heat of summer. However there is much more to the Algarve than just sun and sea. It has a unique charm which derives from the warmth of its people, its Moorish influence and the rich diversity of its majestic landscapes. Portugal’s beautiful coastlines are characterised by miles of superb sandy beaches, pretty fishing villages with winding narrow streets and some of Europe’s best golf courses. Further inland you will find idyllic white-washed Moorish towns that shimmer in the sunlight over olive and orange groves and brightly coloured, verdant hillsides. The area is home to some of Europe’s most established luxury resorts which have excellent facilities and settings. A haven for sports enthusiasts, you can enjoy all manner of activities from golfing on the championship golf courses to sailing, surfing and water-skiing to a day at the world class tennis clubs.

Flight Time: Approximately 3 hours to Faro Airport (direct from London, Manchester, Birmingham and most other regional UK airports). Weather: A hot Mediterranean climate which is tempered by the cooling breezes of the Atlantic Ocean. During spring and summer months you can expect sunny and dry conditions. Winter months are mild but subject to rain. Currency: Euro Language: Portuguese Time Difference: GMT to + 1 hour

Mauritius The tropical island of Mauritius is best known for its luxury hotels on white sand beaches with volcanic mountain backdrops. It is an island for exploring, with Indian temples, colonial houses, botanical gardens, and opportunities to spot rare birds or fauna, horse ride or swim with dolphins. Mauritians are renowned for their hospitality and visitors to the islands generally wax lyrical about the service. Plentiful water sports, world-class spas, top-class golf courses and gourmet cuisine make it hard to leave the gorgeous resorts, but Mauritius has plenty to see and do; from French colonial houses and imaginative animal parks to nature walks, quad biking, sightseeing and horse riding. The northern regions offer the best combination of beaches, cuisine and nightlife. Further west, the capital, Port Louis, is famed for its waterfront complex of restaurants, shops and casinos, as well as the colonial-era central market. The east coast hosts some of Mauritius’ most famous hotels and arguably the most beautiful white sand beaches, while the flat, calm beaches of the west side are favoured by families.

Flight Time: Approximately 12 hours to Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (direct from London Hearthrow) Weather: The island's peak season extends from November to April, which is hot, humid and rainy, with a slight risk of cyclones January to March.

LUX* Grand Baie Resort & Residences Mauritius Spanning a crescent bay on the northern edge of Mauritius, the brand-new LUX* Grand Baie Resort & Residences is an exquisite beach hotel with striking design and architecture by the renowned interior designer Kelly Hoppen and leading Mauritian architect, Jean Francois Adam. Located on one of the island’s most iconic beaches, it faces a sheltered turquoise lagoon in the heart of Grand Baie, an area known for its lively beachside cafes, bars and artisanal crafts. Boasting chic and spacious suites, villas and residences, first-class dining outlets, an utterly gorgeous spa and fitness centre and a collection of four swimming pools (with one rooftop infinity pool), it certainly won’t disappoint those looking for a special getaway. We highly recommend the LUX* Villas or Residences for large discerning families, with the LUX* Grand Beach Pool Villa accommodating up to eight. The Grand Beach Pool Villa, with its three en-suite bedrooms, is the ultimate tropical hideaway, with direct access to the beach, a wide sun deck and a chef de maison on hand. The residences, penthouses and pool villas all feature their own private pools.

All the flights and flightinclusive holidays in this brochure are financially protected by the ATOL scheme. When you pay you will be supplied with an ATOL Certificate.

Please see our booking conditions for further information or for more information about financial protection and the ATOL Certificate go to: www.atol.org.uk/ATOLcertificate

Safety standards are set by each country and therefore may not be equivalent to those of the UK and, in some cases, could be lower. We recommend that particular care and caution should be taken with regard to fire safety, balconies, lifts, stairways and swimming pools where local compliance may not be to the British Standard. Many hotels do not have lifeguards on duty and some may have signs indicating that swimming is at your own risk. Please always act responsibly, particularly with children, as the depth and design of swimming pools vary. We recommend that you familiarise yourself with the accommodation safety regulations as soon as you check in.

Many of the hotels we feature in this brochure offer crèche facilities, children’s clubs and baby-sitting services. The standard of these facilities varies from hotel to hotel and we cannot offer any guarantees that recognised qualifications are held or that staff used are English speaking. Crèches and children’s

Passports, Visas & Vaccinations Your specific passport and visa requirements, and other immigration requirements are your responsibility. We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel because you have not complied with any passport, visa or immigration requirements. Generally, a full ten year passport is required for travel to all destinations for British Citizens (valid for six months from your return date to the UK). Generally all children now require their own passport. If in doubt we recommend that you check with UK Passport Agency www.passport.gov.uk. Holders of non-British Citizen passports are strongly advised to check with the relevant authorities to clarify what documents are required. In certain countries it is recommended or on occasion obligatory to have vaccinations prior to entry (particularly if travelling from an infected area). As regulations change frequently you should check with the Department of Health for the most up-to-date information. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office provides information covering all aspects of travel overseas www.fco.gov.uk/knowbeforeyougo. N.B. For air tickets the name on the passport must match the name on the ticket exactly otherwise you may not be permitted to travel.

Room Categories Room category terminology, detailed in this brochure, have not been created by Travelbeam, but are set by each individual hotel or hotel management company. It is therefore inevitable that one hotel’s ‘Deluxe Room’ will differ to another and likewise the term ‘Ocean View’ is often used but this can mean that a room has a partial or side sea-view or full sea-view, depending upon the particular hotel.

Check-In & Check-Out The standard international practice is to let rooms from midday to midday. However times do vary. Check-in times are usually between 2pm and 3pm, check-out times between 11am and 12 noon on the day of departure. Therefore, if you check-in immediately after a night flight this would count as one night’s accommodation. Similarly if your return flight is at night you will normally be required to vacate your room at 12 noon prior to leaving for the airport. Day rooms are subject to availability / cost and should be arranged locally with the hotel management. Where an early check-in or late check-out is required we highly recommend that an extra night’s accommodation is reserved at the time of booking.
