Two & multi centres Many of us enjoy numerous short breaks and longer holidays each year and, because all our holidays are personalised, you can take as many holidays as you wish, for whichever duration suits. Additionally, you may like to combine the contrasting scenery between a bustling city and a coastal resort; simply ask our reservations team to help with your choice of two or multi centre trips. We can put together lots of different itineraries until you’re happy with the result, and the price!

Hotel only Before your holiday, you might be flying on a business trip or you might be meeting friends and family who live abroad. Whatever the reason, if any of your party wants to organise their own travel arrangements, we are happy to book the hotel accommodation only. Plus we can easily include private resort transfers if you let us know the arrival and departure times of your flights.

Holiday vouchers For honeymoons or weddings abroad, holiday vouchers make the perfect gift for friends and family; call our customer relations team for details.

Last minute bookings Owing to the individual character and popularity of many of our properties, all the best rooms and suites do tend to get booked well in advance although, if you are looking for a last minute short break or holiday, do give us a call to see what’s available.

Your perfect family holiday Reminiscences of childhood treats are life affirming and there’s nothing quite like a family holiday to create the fondest of life-long memories. We know how important it is to get everything right, especially when travelling with young children, and you can rest assured that we’ve got the knowledge, the experience and the support in resort to promise you a fantastic time.

As we are able to book flights from any airport we can tailor individual travel arrangements to suit every member of your family and we’re often asked to arrange extended family celebrations when grandparents want to treat the whole family to a memorable trip abroad. Simply let us know the various details you’d like to include and leave the rest to us.

Child prices Many hotels offer substantial reductions and sometimes free stays to the first child (normally 2-11 years) when they share a room with two full fare paying passengers. Children enjoying reduced prices can only be accommodated where there is sufficient space and it may be that a child price can only be given in a superior or deluxe room or suite because the standard room can only accommodate two guests. Where there is sufficient space in a room for four occupants, a reduction may be available for a second child. Many child-friendly hotels offer reductions to older children and children staying in separate rooms (i.e. not sharing with an adult), and some hotels are willing to give discounts or even free stays to children sharing a room with one adult (normally under these circumstances the adult will pay the equivalent of a sole use supplement).

Complimentary child seats For youngsters between 2 and 11 years, we offer complimentary inflatable booster seats for you to take on holiday, and keep! Once you’ve booked, we’ll put you in touch with Bubblebum who will send the seat/s to you or your travel agent.

Children's clubs Some hotels run supervised children’s clubs ranging from crèches, mini and maxi clubs to activities for teenagers. Crèches and clubs are payable locally although some hotels offer them on a complimentary basis. Dates of clubs vary from year-round to high season (summer, Christmas and Easter) only, and we can advise regarding prices, dates of operation and if pre-booking is necessary.

Babysitting Some hotels have a babysitting service which is bookable and payable locally.

Great for golf

Many of our guests find that a leisurely round of golf during their holiday helps them relax. For some it is the aspect of friendly competition that is satisfying and for others the pleasure comes from aspiring to master the game. For the majority, though, the sheer enjoyment comes from the diverse and beautiful locations in

which the game is played and many of our destinations have a wealth of challenging and scenic courses. Many of our hotels offer green fee reductions, a few offer complimentary rounds and some, courtesy transport, although if you are planning to play at a variety of locations, it may be advisable to hire a car.

For our full range of holidays to the Canary Islands please see our dedicated brochure or view online

Canary Islands

Just four and a half hours flying time from the UK, the Canary Islands with their jagged cliffs, sweeping beaches and volcanic interiors are famed for their subtropical climate and enjoy more than three hundred days of sunshine a year ensuring that a warm winter holiday is almost guaranteed.

Six hundred miles south of the Iberian Peninsula and approximately 70 miles west of the African Coast, the Canary Islands should typify a desert region, but due to the effects of the mountains, trade winds and warm coastal waters, they enjoy a wonderful year round climate. There is such diversity amongst the islands that, although it is a cliché, there really is an island to suit all tastes. From verdant valleys and dense forests to deserts, lunar moonscapes and snow capped peaks, towering sea cliffs to beaches of golden or black sand, and bustling cities to sleepy old villages to visit, we can book a single, two or multi centre so you can discover as many of the islands as you wish.

Island life

Dining

The combination of climate and unusual geological features on these islands has led to an interesting array of flora and fauna, which surprisingly thrive even though none of the islands has a running river. With more than 650 native species the islands provide an important ecological area, and local laws which protect areas of specific scientific interest create numerous nature reserves and rural parks. Additional laws relating to low luxury tax mean it’s worth shopping for cameras, perfumes, silver jewellery, silks and paintings, whilst open air markets, Mercados, provide colourful shopping opportunities for Sunday mornings.

Temperatures between the seasons vary only slightly with monthly averages ranging between 18 degrees centigrade in winter to 24 degrees centigrade in summer. Due to their volcanic origins, the islands are mountainous and temperatures can vary not only between them, but also at various heights; on Tenerife’s Mount Teide it's occasionally possible to see snow at the top whilst sunbathing on the beaches.

major part of their holiday will delight in the Canary Islands where excellent Spanish restaurants serve both international and local cuisine. From plentiful and popular tapas bars displaying their hot and cold tidbits, where you can simply point out the dishes you fancy, to truly authentic Canarian specialities in establishments bearing the tipico sign, plus Michelin star restaurants where even the most discerning palate is spoilt for choice.

Activities In addition to being a paradise for sun be disappointed with a whole host of activities available throughout the islands with kite and windsurfing, surfing and sailing the most popular. For nature lovers there’s fascinating flora and fauna to discover on hikes through the protected nature reserves and parks, golfers can play a round or two on the island’s numerous courses and there is horse-riding, tennis and cycling for all levels, as well as karting, snorkelling and diving to enjoy.

Sightseeing

Celebrations & events Known as Canarios in Spanish, the Canary Islanders, are renowned for their love of flamboyant celebrations and each island takes great pride in their own annual spring Carnival where local amateur music, dance and comedy groups add to the fantastically colourful parades. During Corpus Christi the streets are carpeted with flowers, petals and volcanic sand in delightfully intricate patterns whilst religious processions in honour of local saints are a regular occurrence. An impressive calendar of world-class music festivals, food and drinks events, harvest festivals, yacht races and numerous sporting competitions lead to the islanders celebrating constantly throughout the year.

Sightseeing Mount Teide

El Teide Caldera de las Canadas is a16 km wide volcanic crater with Mount Teide at its northern edge. The high altitude walking is sensational but not for the feint hearted although a cable car takes you to within 200m of the summit to enjoy stunning views from this volcanically active summit, which at 3,718m is Spain’s highest mountain.

Pyramids de Guimar These Mayan-like and intriguing steppyramids on the east coast have been the subject of much debate regarding their origins and use. In addition to the six pyramids the park is home to a museum, much of which is dedicated to the work of the scientist Thor Heyerdahl.

Santa Cruz Tenerife’s capital, Santa Cruz, boasts many beautiful historic buildings with its hub around the Plaza de Espana, close to the busy harbour. There are two noteworthy churches, a lively bazaar and food market, a state of the art Opera House, and a couple of interesting museums: one housing the cannon which allegedly removed Admiral Nelson’s arm!

Puerto de la Cruz Nestling in the lush Orotava Valley, the oldest resort in the Canary Islands, Puerto de la Cruz, is a firm favourite with discerning travellers. It’s a bustling town boasting fine colonial buildings, botanical gardens and a picturesque Old Town. The fishing port area is a maze of cobbled streets awash with traditional bars and cafés, and there are sophisticated boutiques, delightful squares, a casino and lido, and three small beaches.

The island’s oldest church, dating back to 1502, displays a grand and rich interior with outstanding gold and silver paint, wonderful metalwork, elaborately carved gilded ceiling panels, beautiful wood carvings and an eye-catching sevenstorey tower.

La Gomera Lying to the west of Tenerife, La Gomera is the most relaxing of all the Canary Islands with dense forestry, beautiful cedar groves and breathtaking ravines. Small villages are scattered inland amongst the terraced valleys and the mountains sweep the coastline as dramatic sea cliffs.

La Gomera's verdant interior where the green terraced valleys cut steeply through the mountains is spectacularly beautiful although driving is not for the feint-hearted with a plethora of sometimes scary hairpin bends! In the centre of the island is the protected Parque Nacional de Garajonay with its dense, lush flora and fauna; great for walkers. More than a third of this small island, which is less than 21km from north to south, is protected by UNESCO, and due to the mountainous terrain there are some particularly quaint old customs such as the whistling language, historically used by the locals to communicate between the valleys.

Vallehermoso

Playa de Santiago The small, peaceful fishing village of Playa de Santiago is located at the southernmost point of La Gomera in a sheltered and attractive setting. There is a pebble beach and a port and at the centre of the harbour area, Plaza del Carmen, a favourite meeting place for the locals with restaurants, bars and a seafront promenade.

San Sebastian The capital and main port, San Sebastian with numerous restaurants, bars and shops, is famed for its links with Christopher Columbus and the small town is riddled with memorabilia and plaques denoting the places that he visited or stayed, and a week-long Columbus festival is held annually. The main street, Calle Real, and main square, Plaza de las Americas with its balconied mansions, picturesquely evoke memories of former colonial times.

and for keen walkers the lush dense flora of Parque Nacional de Garajonay is a must. The island boasts a rugged coastline with a few pebbly and black sand beaches; the best are at Playa Santiago and Valle Gran Rey.

Transfers to La Gomera Fly to Tenerife South airport and following a 20 minute transfer to Los Cristianos port, cross by catamaran or ferry to La Gomera (approx 40 minutes). Crossing timetables are limited and you may need to stay overnight in Tenerife at the beginning or end of your holiday especially if your flight arrives in Tenerife after 3pm. During Christmas, New Year, Easter and February carnival, ferry times are restricted and we advise booking a Tenerife hotel if travelling during these periods. Transfers may be in a shared minibus, and ferry timetable changes and delays may result in us making alternative arrangements on Tenerife.

La Palma Known locally as Isla Bonita, La Palma is truly beautiful with remarkable scenery ranging from soaring forest-covered mountains in the north to volcanic lunar landscapes in the south contrasting with wide, fertile valleys, dramatic sea cliffs, and black sandy beaches that fringe the Atlantic shores.

Santa Cruz de La Palma

Santa Cruz de La Palma

The greenest and most rural of the Canary Islands, La Palma boasts picturesque villages, sleepy towns and pleasantly warm temperatures all year round. A World Biosphere Reserve it has 19 naturally protected areas including majestic pine forests and lush laurel woods, deep ravines, salt pans, waterfalls, natural parks, volcanic craters and an unique caldera. Due to the rugged topography the climate is varied. The west is dry and hot whilst the east is lush and the abundance of microclimates fosters a richness of flora and fauna. On the west coast of the island, the historic port and fishing harbour of Tazacorte is located on the fertile coast of the Valle de Aridane and boasts a black sand beach and extensive banana plantations.

Flights to La Palma island Direct flights are available from Manchester and London to the island although, due to the significant number of flights to Tenerife from your local airport, you may like to consider a two centre holiday to Tenerife and La Palma.

Fuerteventura The Canary Island of Fuerteventura is second in size to Tenerife and the closest to the North African continent. Boasting a relaxed and typically Spanish way of life, it is fantastic for watersports enthusiasts, with a year round sunny climate and a fabulous coastline of sandy beaches.

Sotavento beach

Costa Calma, Jandia Peninsula

Fuerteventura is blessed with miles and miles of lovely soft sands and its beautiful coastline attracts visitors seeking glorious beaches and fantastic waters. Inland, the rugged peaks of extinct volcanoes are separated by wide lowland plains dotted with small traditional villages and old-fashioned windmills. The relaxed and typically Spanish way of life combined with more than 150 splendid beaches of soft sand and virtually constant sunshine, entices sun worshippers and watersports fanatics, and beginners, all year round. Geographically, Fuerteventura is the second largest of the Canary Islands. It lies 19km to the south of Lanzarote and is the closest to the African continent with Morocco lying 96km to the east.

Corralejo Formerly a sleepy fishing village, Corralejo is now Fuerteventura’s premier resort. Happily managing to retain a laid back Spanish atmosphere, the resort offers numerous facilities with fine seafood restaurants, chic bars, cafés and shops lining the streets around the bustling harbour. Corralejo boasts some of the island’s best beaches and there are several small sheltered coves located close-by, and, just 4km away, one of the area’s major attractions, Dunes Nature Reserve with its immense 10km stretch of desert-like sand dunes. Thanks to the favourable trade winds there is excellent windsurfing and surfing as well as a whole host of watersports, plus golf courses and a waterpark.

Jandia Peninsula In the south the long narrow Jandia Peninsula is fringed on the eastern side with excellent sandy beaches stretching for over 30km between the resorts of Costa Calma, Morro Jable and down to the landmark lighthouse at Punta de Jandia. About 4km from Costa Calma, on a wonderful sweep of golden sands with a spectacular

mountainous backdrop, is the tranquil resort of Playa Barca where the sheltered beach and clear waters are perfect for windsurfing and diving. There are plenty of restaurants although nightlife tends to centre around the hotels. Further south lies the modern, sleepy resort of Playa de Jandia. Popular with couples and honeymooners, it boasts a cluster of high quality hotels, a quiet stretch of beach and a few restaurants.

Caleta de Fuste Situated on the east coast, the modern resort of Caleta de Fuste (also known as Costa Caleta) boasts a sheltered beach skirting a wide horseshoe shaped bay. Popular with families, this attractive beach resort features a bustling harbour perfect for al fresco dining, tree-lined streets with cafés and restaurants, a shopping complex with stylish boutiques, and numerous music bars for livelier nightlife. Although well placed for exploring the whole island, the airport is only a 20 minute drive away so some aircraft noise may be experienced.

Lanzarote Famed for its year round sunny climate, Lanzarote’s interior is a mix of ochre coloured lunarscape mountains and low lying lava fields whilst the coast boasts fabulous beaches for sun worshippers and is a haven for watersports fanatics with perfect weather and clear waters.

Playa el Pozo

Lanzarote is the most easterly and the fourth largest of the Canary Islands. Despite its volcanic moonscape nature it, somewhat surprisingly, boasts many white sandy beaches such as those found at Playa Blanca and Punta del Papagayo although numerous beaches are covered with black volcanic sand like the beach at Playa Quemada. Lanzarote is famed for its watersports and the ideal weather conditions, coasts of clear waters, and the fine sands, ensure its popularity with windsurfers, surfers and sailors, and the plethora of underwater caves, reefs, shipwrecks and fish are fantastic for diving, snorkelling and big game fishing.

Puerto Calero

Puerto del Carmen

The quiet resort of Puerto Calero is a 3km walk along the coast from Puerto del Carmen and features a promenade and attractive waterfront with a stylish marina. There are a few designer and surf wear shops, plus numerous charming restaurants in the harbour area and the safe, sandy beach is perfect for families and sun worshippers.

This former fishing village is now a busy, popular resort boasting a long beach of golden sand and two additional beaches, all providing excellent facilities. For a quieter time there is a small cove in the old part of Puerto del Carmen, popular with the locals and ideal for a spot of snorkelling. The resort boasts an abundance of cafés and restaurants, an array of shops and boutiques, and a lively nightlife with bars and clubs lining the beachfront strip, plus the quieter delightful Old Town with its narrow streets leading down to the charming harbour. Within walking distance and towards the Matagorda area, the quieter relaxed resort of Playa de Pocillos is one of the newest on the island. It is popular with families as the emphasis is on the long, wide, blue flag sandy beach, excellent watersports facilities, and good selection of restaurants, bars, shops and supermarkets.

Playa Blanca The pretty beach resort of Playa Blanca, once a small fishing village, is a great choice for a peaceful holiday. Sympathetically developed with low-rise buildings, traffic-free avenues, attractive public areas, and a small commercial centre with a handful of shops, the main attraction is the glorious blue flag awarded golden sandy beach. Ferries to the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura run from the harbour which also features a good selection of seafood restaurants, cafés and bars, plus there’s a further choice of eateries in the old village.

Sightseeing Timanfaya National Park

Timanfaya National Park Timanfaya National Park is a must see for any visitor to Lanzarote where the Fire Mountains, the now-dormant volcanoes which devastated the island, feature a legacy of amazing lunar type terrain harbouring numerous rare plant species.

Jeeps, treks & fishing Explore the island's volcanic landscapes by jeep or with a guide in an organised trekking group, or sail from Puerto del Carmen or Puerto Calero for a deep-sea, or shark-fishing experience.

Fuerteventura Take a short ferry ride to Fuerteventura and visit charming villages, the church in Betancuria, and the Dunes National Park.

Caves & tunnels Explore the surreal caves and underground lava tunnel known as Cueva de los Verdes and Jameos del Agua, where a natural lake is home to a species of blind albino crabs only found on Lanzarote and where concerts are occasionally staged in one of the caves.

Costa Blanca & La Manga Part of the Alicante province, Costa Blanca showcases more than 200km of south eastern Spain’s attractive Mediterranean coastline, whilst La Manga, boasting a plethora of sporting and leisure facilities and ease of access via Murcia airport, is perfect for a sports-filled, or relaxing, short break or holiday.

Costa Blanca was originally settled centuries ago by the Moors who made the region bloom; the fertile plains and citrus groves of the coastal plains are still considered to be one of Spain’s most fertile market garden regions. Populations are concentrated on the coast and inland, where tourism has hardly had any impact, the landscape rises into mountains which stand between the coast and the plateau of central Spain. Murcia’s Costa Cálida, the part of the eastern Spanish Mediterranean coast which envelopes La Manga, enjoys welcoming holidaymakers all year round, not least due to its boast that temperatures rarely drop below eighteen degrees centigrade.

Costa Blanca The Mediterranean resorts enjoy a warm climate, ideal for exploration and land and watersports almost all year round. Named after the province of which it is capital, thriving Alicante, with its charming old quarter, boasts a long waterfront, great shopping, exciting dining, a great café culture and legendary nightlife plus, it’s easy to get to the beach as, immediately north of the port, there’s the attractively coloured sandy beach of Playa del Postiguet, whilst the beach at Playa de San Juan, which is larger and usually less crowded, is an easy tram journey away. Slightly further north east along the coast, Benidorm is a classic holiday destination with a plethora of hotels, theme parks, and bars and cafés. Restaurants range between top class international a la carte cuisine and authentic Spanish tapas, watersports are easily available and there are two great golf courses. There are peaceful parks, a fabulous promenade for energising walks and two major beaches; the Levante and the Poniente are long stretches of soft, golden sand and both consistently enjoy European blue flag award status.

Close to Benidorm, the charming and popular village of Finestrat nestles on the side of Puig Campana affording terrific mountain and Mediterranean views. It’s distinctly Moorish with colourful painted houses along narrow cobbled streets, whilst down by the sea, Cala Finestrat enjoys a delightful coastal location. Slightly further north, and at the heart of the Costa Blanca, lies the once ancient fishing village of Calpe which now effectively combines traditional Valencian culture and modern tourism and boasts easy access to a plethora of beautiful sandy beaches.

La Manga The fascinating natural phenomenon of La Manga became a popular tourist resort in the 1960’s and now features one of Europe’s premier resorts boasting top class sports and leisure facilities. Our featured property, Hotel Principe Felipe, is part of the well-renowned and prestigious year-round resort of La Manga Club. Popular with families, couples and groups, and covering an area of more than 18km, this whole resort is a sporting paradise and also boasts a superb spa, a private beach, beautifully landscaped grounds plus great dining venues.

Costa del Sol Where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean, the Spanish region of Andalucia is an area of stark contrasts, from the white peaks of the Sierra Nevada to the low lying green plains and from the bright lights of the coastal resorts to the volcanic landscapes of the Tabernas Desert.

Often referred to as ‘the bridge between two continents’, Andalucia, with a population of more than seven million, covers more than seventeen percent of Spanish territory, making it the largest single region in the whole country. The Andalucian coast is almost 900km long and with the quality and warmth of the water plus the eternal sun, this coast has become a favourite spot for holidaymakers from all over the world. Costa del Sol enjoys an average of 325 days of sunshine a year with hot summers, mild spring and autumn months and with average temperatures rarely dropping below double figures in the winter.

Andalucia

Golf

The region of Andalucia is divided into eight provinces and we feature a selection of the very best hotels in the coastal province of Malaga on the Costa del Sol. Golden beaches, beautiful mountain ranges with a wealth of flora and fauna, white washed villages plus a host of cities to rival any in Europe, and with recently improved developments to the infrastructure, all are now easily accessible from the coast. As Andalucia is a popular tourist destination, you may encounter some traffic disturbance in the busier resorts and some congestion along the main roadways. Stylish Marbella with its world-famous marina at Puerto Banus and seafront Golden Mile lined with bars and restaurants boasts a myriad of beaches over a 25km stretch, whilst further south, Estepona has a blue flag beach at sheltered El Cristo cove and an old town retaining much of its Andalucian character. Flanked by a dramatic mountain range Nerja features no less than ten beaches, some enjoying blue flag status, plus a vibrant nightlife and the spectacular Balcon de Europa; a promenade along the edge of a towering cliff with sweeping views.

Boasting the highest density of golf courses in Europe, with many designed by celebrities such as Severiano Ballesteros and Gary Player, there is without doubt a course to suit all levels of play. Golf however is not the only sporting activity on offer with an abundance of tennis clubs, equestrian centres and various watersports available up and down the coast.

Cuisine The Arab presence throughout the course of history has made a profound impression on the Andalucian gastronomy. Tapas and gazpacho are traditional fare and an abundance of good restaurants lays testimony to the wealth of choice of delicious recipes. And, of course, one must not forget to mention the grapes! Numerous wines are produced throughout the region; the most internationally celebrated being the sherry wines from Jerez, although, due to the mild climate and long hours of sunshine, other areas also produce excellent quality wines.

Mallorca

Wander through Palma’s gothic quarter, laze on golden sandy beaches or delight in the Tramuntana Mountains, luxuriate in charming manor houses or relax in a sophisticated boutique hotel; for romance or fun, actionpacked or lazy days, there’s something to suit everyone in Mallorca.

From the thriving coast with fantastic beaches to rural villages and mountain retreats, Mallorca suits families with youngsters, romantic couples, avid cyclists, walkers and ramblers, bird watchers, and those simply wanting to relax, and it’s hardly surprising that with its diversity of culture, history and natural terrain, the island captivates everyone who visits. From the northern high peaks of Tramuntana across a vast central plain towards the eastern Levante mountains, Mallorca’s contrasts include rugged mountains, gentle hills, woods and forests, and beautiful coves and sandy bays forming a coastline of over 500km.

When to visit

Activities & sights

Mallorca enjoys a temperate Mediterranean climate in high summer with maximum temperatures cooled by the influence of the sea, and whilst it is warm and sunny from March to November, it is only slightly cooler from December to February.

Boasting stunning scenery with fertile plains, almost alpine peaks and gentle hills, fragrant pines and ancient oak groves, and home to beautiful sandy beaches, secluded bays and coves Mallorca offers a delightful landscape to explore and the Tramuntana Mountains which dominate the northern coast provide excellent walking for ramblers and hikers. On the east coast there are the stunning limestone caves of Caves del Drac and the fascinating network of caverns at Arta Caves to explore, a fabulously scenic journey through Mallorca’s beautiful countryside can be enjoyed on the vintage train the Red Arrow, and the weekly market in Inca is a great way to get a feel for the real Mallorca. There are nineteen golf courses on the island, watersports are widely available and cycling has become increasingly popular.

Cuisine Traditional-style cellar restaurants for Mallorcan classics, tapas bars in Palma’s La Llotja area, fantastic Michelin star restaurants and excellent fresh fish island-wide; even the most discerning palate is spoilt for culinary choice. Traditional Balearic food has much in common with Catalan cuisine and Cuina Mallorquina derives from simple country fare, cooked in olive oil with whatever ingredients happen to be in season. Fish, seafood and pork are main staples, Pa amb oli, delicious toasted garlicky bread, is served everywhere, and sweet honey pastries are a reminder of the island’s Moorish past.

Gibraltar Holding a unique strategic location on the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar and linked to the Spanish mainland by a narrow isthmus, Gibraltar is steeped in history and has attracted visitors for centuries.

A variety of cultures have left their stamp on Gibraltar throughout its rich and tumultuous history and today these influences are evident in the architecture, cuisine and customs of Gibraltar where you’ll be met by an eclectic mix of cultures that has developed from the many settlers who have made it their home. It is a living history reflected not just in the Gibraltarians themselves, but also in the many legacies that remain to this day, including a number of prehistoric caves, a medieval castle and 11th century baths, Georgian and Victorian buildings as well as architecture which reflects Portuguese, Genoese and Moorish influences. Despite the imposing

appearance of the Rock, Gibraltar is small and in total measures less than six square kilometres and thanks to the newly opened Dudly Ward tunnel one can now drive all the way around 'The Rock'. It is the southern most point of Europe and the only place in Europe where monkeys range free in a semi-wild state.

Cuisine You can find most ethnic and international cuisine in Gibraltar including Indian, Chinese, Thai, Argentinean, Japanese, Moroccan, Kosher, English, Danish, French, Spanish and Italian. Fish lovers are particularly well catered for with Catalan Bay on the east side and the marinas featuring a number of restaurants specialising in seafood and for lighter bites there is no shortage of English and Irish pubs.

Shopping Gold jewellery, watches, perfumes, porcelain figurines and designer wear are perhaps the best buys, although cigars and spirits tend to be the most popular duty free purchases.

Two centre holidays To make the most of your holiday you may wish to combine a stay in Gibraltar with time on the Costa del Sol and we can tailor-make any combination of our featured hotels.

Sights Located more than 300 metres above sea level, with magnificent stalactites and stalagmites, is St Michael’s Cave where the main chamber has been transformed into a large subterranean auditorium providing a unique venue for concerts, ballet and drama. The spectacular Alameda Botanical Gardens feature a cable car up to the Apes’ Den. The views from the summit of the Rock are quite simply breathtaking. Gibraltar is also the perfect base from which to explore the surrounding countries and continents; enjoy a day trip to the ancient town of Seville or discover Jerez, whilst a short ferry ride across the Strait lies Morocco and the exotic charms of Tangier.

Explore the island’s magnificent gardens, admire the views from the cable car to Monte and enjoy an exhilarating toboggan ride in a wicker carriage down again. In Funchal, join an open top bus tour taking in the historical sights, or enjoy a stroll along the palm lined coastal Lido promenade bordered by gardens and restaurants. Discover the untouched interior of hidden valleys and mountains on an off-road jeep safari, visit museums, churches and pretty villages, and for a family day out there is the aqua park in Santa Cruz. In addition a multitude of land and sea based activities are on offer; from a gentle swim and laze around the hotel pool to more active pursuits such as cycling, canyoning, horse riding, trail running, hiking and mountain climbing, and with its mild year round water temperatures, crystal clear seas and great surf, Madeira is ideal for a whole host of watersports.

Generally warm and sunny throughout the year, however with lush green landscapes rain can be expected on occasion. The south is warm and pleasant all year with the north somewhat cooler, and in the mountains warm clothing is recommended for walkers.

Cuisine In addition to Portuguese specialities Madeira has its own typical dishes and as a rule food is simple, cooked using fresh ingredients and served up in hearty portions. With a ready supply of superb fish, locally grown vegetables and no end of tasty fresh fruit you can eat healthily, heartily and relatively inexpensively in Madeira. Try the locally caught espada, scabbard fish, grilled with lemon, or, in a traditional style, battered and served with deep fried locally grown bananas and for dessert, the local bolo de mel, Madeira honeycake; made from molasses it’s squidgy, dark and absolutely delicious! From rustic style tipico eateries where a traditional Madeiran menu await, to classic restaurants with a more international flavour and hotel restaurants offering fine dining, even the most discerning palate will be spoilt for culinary choice.

Sightseeing

Gardens of Madeira Madeira’s subtropical climate and wonderful combination of indigenous and imported plants combine to produce gardens that are the envy of horticulturists from all over the world. Don't miss the Botanical Gardens in Funchal, the public gardens and the Tropical Gardens at Monte, and the Palheiro Gardens, arguably the most magnificent on the island.

Parks & forests Aside from botanical gardens, there’s the Ecological Park where the significant variation in altitude allows Madeira’s varied indigenous flora to flourish and for those keen on walking, there is Ribeiro Frio Forest Park with its beautiful views, or the Queimadas Forest Reserve. The Laurissilva Forest, thought to be more than 20 million years old, occupies a coastal strip from 300m to 1300m above sea level and almost all of it has been classified as part of the Madeira Nature Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Levada & hill walking The island’s amazing levada irrigation system spans 2,500km and easy to navigate paths run beside the gently sloping levada water channels giving walkers an opportunity to explore the island’s splendid countryside, either independently or with an organised group; the mountainous interior is more suited to serious hikers.

Island tours An eastern island tour includes Pico de Arieiro, the third highest peak, the village of Santana famous for its traditional thatched roofed houses, the vineyards at Quinta do Furao, and the small fishing village of Machico. A western island tour takes in Câmara de Lobos, a picturesque village once captured on canvas by Sir Winston Churchill, Cabo Girao, reportedly the highest sea cliff in Europe, Paul da Serra, a magnificent plateau at 1,600 metres and Porto Moniz, famed for its natural rock pools.

Funchal Madeira’s capital, Funchal, is a bustling cosmopolitan city with a distinct British feel set against a backdrop of dramatic mountains, beautiful parks and gardens, elegant tree-lined avenues and narrow cobbled streets lined with delightful little shops, pavement cafés and traditional restaurants. There is a covered market full of colour, the Botanical Gardens play host to profusion of plants and flowers, whilst a visit to the Wine Lodges to sample the worldfamous Madeira wines is a must.

Return to Funchal can be by traditional toboggan, cable-car or on foot. Most of the wicker products sold in Funchal are made in and around the sleepy village of Camacha where you can watch weavers at work before purchasing picture frames, baskets and peacockthrones!

Algarve

Stretching for 100 miles along the southern coast of Portugal, the Algarve offers glorious year-round sunshine, countless sandy beaches, hidden coves, fresh Atlantic waters and a sultry Mediterranean feel, not to mention an abundance of internationally renowned championship golf courses.

Today as a meeting point between Europe and Africa, the Algarve is a fascinating mixture of Moorish, Portuguese and European cultures with a landscape more North African than European. Fig trees, orange and almond groves and meticulous vineyards dominate the gently undulating hills a few miles inland from the sea, bringing welcome bright colours to the landscape. As well as beaches, gentle countryside and charming, unspoiled old-fashioned villages a major attraction of the Algarve is its towns. Faro, Lagos and Tavira have evident Moorish influences, whilst Silves, Salir and Alte are quiet mountain towns and a throwback to a time when life moved at a gentler pace.

When to visit

Activities

With more than 250 days a year filled with sunshine the Algarve has a consistently good climate and thanks to the Gulf Stream a fresh, springtime breeze permeates the winter months.

The Algarve is a top destination for sports and activity based holidays. With great weather and superbly designed golf courses, the region has developed a well-earned reputation for offering world class golfing opportunities. Tennis also has a loyal following with many hotels offering excellent facilities. Given the large number of glorious southfacing beaches watersports enthusiasts will never be disappointed. Jet-skiing, sailing, windsurfing, big-game fishing and scuba diving are all readily available, although options might be more limited in the winter months. Adrenaline junkies might prefer to move inland to try abseiling, caving, paintballing, archery, mountain biking, trekking, horse-riding, white water rafting, or take to the wheel and go karting at the outdoor track in Almancil. Tailor-made four-wheel drive safari trips can meet almost any request.

Cuisine An expansive range of fresh fish and seafood heavily influences the area’s cuisine with freshly caught sole, tuna, sardines, lobster, crab, squid and crayfish the mainstay of most menus in hotels and restaurants of the area. The traditional dish of the region, cataplana, comprises a succulent mix of ham, sausage, cockles, clams, onion, garlic, white wine and spices and with a ready supply of almonds and figs, Portugal excels at sweet desserts. Restaurants range from rustic taverns to elegant restaurants offering modern twists on national cuisine, and at lunch there’s often a prato do dia, dish of the day, or a set three course meal, ementa turistica; menus often list two sizes, meia dose, a half portion, or uma dose, a full portion.

Egypt In just over five hours flying time from the UK, Egypt provides an exhilarating holiday destination with its luxurious hotels and exclusive cruise ships. It’s a land of huge contrasts from the teeming life of Cairo to vast deserts; from ancient lifestyles of the Bedouin to palm fringed beach resorts.

Whenever you choose to visit this fascinating country you can rest assured that the warmth of the welcome and generous hospitality accorded to visitors is indicative of the easy-going and friendly nature of the Egyptian people. Please note that as Egypt is a religious country, modest dress is essential. We include the price of your Egyptian visa in the cost of your holiday, please see page 192 for details.

When to visit

Cairo is a bustling and fascinating city boasting the awe-inspiring Pyramids, the bewitching Sphinx, and the Egyptian Museum, home to the treasures from Tutankhamun’s tomb. Luxor, set against spectacular desert landscapes, is considered to be the greatest outdoor museum in the world with its magnificent temples, tombs and monuments, whilst Aswan boasts a slow and relaxed way of life combined with unparalleled access to superb Nubian sites and splendid temples including Abu Simbel and the Temple of Philae. Located 20km south of Hurghada, Sahl Hasheesh is a purpose built luxury resort with a long stretch of soft golden sand and pristine azure waters, and with coral reefs just offshore the resort offers excellent snorkelling and diving opportunities.

Much of Egypt is desert and the whole country is hot and dry with very little rain. Away from the coast, summers can be scorchingly hot and winters more moderate with comfortable temperatures.

Nile cruises The Nile is the world’s longest river and a luxury cruise on an elegant ship is surely the most relaxing way to discover the cultural landmarks and archaeological sites of Egypt. We offer a choice of cruises and are delighted to feature some of the most intimate and elegant vessels.

www.classic-collection.co.uk I freephone 0800 008 7288 or 0800 820 3113

Cuisine Local dishes are simple and wholesome and essentially Egyptian cuisine is based around tomatoes, garlic, olives, eggs, onions, lamb, fish, chicken and pigeon, and a wealth of spices, fruits and nuts and pastries both savoury and sweet. Thick dark coffee, sweet tea and fruit juices are the most prolific drinks and as a Muslim country, alcoholic drinks, although readily available in hotels and restaurants, are not in evidence elsewhere.

Coral reefs Due to the coral reefs present in the shallow waters close to many Red Sea beaches, sea swimming is often accessed by jetties from the beach and for environmental reasons paddling in the shallow coral filled waters is prohibited. Where coral is protected, sea swimming is available from the end of each hotel’s jetty.

For our full range of holidays to Morocco please see our dedicated brochure or view online

Morocco

Just a four hour flight from the UK, Morocco encapsulates the exoticism of far distant lands. The towering Rif and Atlas Mountains proved historically to be an impenetrable barrier to successive invaders, thereby preserving a rich cultural heritage of lifestyle and language in this southern Mediterranean country.

Morocco is a mountainous and surprisingly green country of outstanding natural beauty where the dazzling peaks of the Atlas Mountains give way to silent shifting sands of the Sahara, whilst gently undulating hills of eucalyptus and argana trees succumb to long ribbons of golden sand on the Atlantic coast. Spring starts from as early as January, and sustained sunshine and blue skies of autumn often extend through November and although you’ll need to be cool in the heat of the day, you’ll need to show respect for the Muslim religion covering up from the shoulder to just below the knee and swimwear is only acceptable when you’re in close proximity to a pool or beach.

Cuisine

Activities

The food of Morocco reflects the country's diverse cultural heritage. The Berber influence remains strong with many of the traditional Moroccan dishes such as couscous, tajine (tasty stews) and harira (hearty soups) being Berber in origin. The Bedouin Arabs introduced dates, milk, grain, bread and dried pasta, the Moors brought Andalucian foods to the feast - nuts, fruits, herbs and oil, and invading Arabs brought a wealth of spices from the East. Essentially Moroccan cuisine is based around the staples of peppers, tomatoes, garlic, olives, eggs, onions, couscous, chicken, lamb, pigeon, fish and a wealth of spices, fruits, nuts and pastries both savoury and sweet.

This is an exhilarating country where the miasma of cultural opportunities includes multitudes of historic monuments and buildings plus a plethora of mesmerising medinas and souks. Additionally, Morocco offers everything from a bit of gentle swimming in the hotel pool or lazing in the spa, to the more active pursuits of mountain biking, trekking, horse riding and tennis, plus there are some impressive golf courses, watersports available along the coast, and cookery schools are growing in popularity for those wishing to learn more about the art of preparing Moroccan cuisine. Although one of the best ways to fully appreciate the country’s spectacular scenery must be to engage the services of a local guide and mule for a day’s trekking through the mountains and valleys of the High Atlas.

Traditional riads Riads are historic, beautifully atmospheric retreats set within the walls of ancient Marrakech and, in direct contrast to the bustling city outside, these converted merchants’ houses provide calm, almost magical, interior spaces and to stay in a riad is to appreciate Moroccan hospitality at its very best.

Cyprus

With a rich and diverse history and a delightful Mediterranean island climate, Cyprus maintains its popular year round holiday appeal boasting a natural beauty ranging between miles of beaches and rugged Mediterranean coastlines to rolling hills and forest clad mountains.

Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean and boasts stunning beaches and rocky coves, beautiful scenery and traditional villages, friendly people and a rich cultural heritage. Greek is the official language although English is widely spoken and you will definitely feel at home if you hire a car as the Cypriots drive on the left hand side of the road! Limassol, a large cosmopolitan resort on the coast, is the second city of the island.

When to visit Cyprus has a typical Mediterranean climate but its proximity to the land-mass of southwest Asia makes it one of the hottest parts of the Mediterranean.

Cuisine Cypriot cuisine is closely related to that of the Greek and fresh local ingredients are widely used, as is one of the island’s own products, olive oil, and regional herbs and spices add up to what is quintessentially Mediterranean cuisine with an interesting twist! Local specialities are numerous but the most famous has to be meze, numerous small plates of various delicacies, followed by a main course often of kebabs, souvlaka, stifada or moussaka and for dessert fresh fruit or glyko, traditionally preserved fruit.

Activities There are many opportunities for hiking in the Troodos Mountains either independently or with organised groups, and a ramble along the Aphrodite and Adonis trails on the Akamis Peninsula is a must.

Sights Delight in the stunning views and scenery of the pine-clad Troodos Mountains and Mount Olympus, whilst Paphos has plenty to discover with the Byzantine Castle of Paphos, the Tombs of the Kings, St Paul’s Pillar and the Temple of Aphrodite.

Malta & Gozo There can be few places in the world which offer as much variety per square mile as Malta. Boasting 7,000 years of history, it is a sunny island just fifteen miles by nine in the heart of the Mediterranean and nearby, on quiet, rural Gozo, you’re never more than a stone’s throw from the sparkling sea.

Malta Malta’s earliest archaeological sites and beautifully preserved megalithic temples are the oldest free-standing buildings in the world - pre-dating the Egyptian pyramids - whilst imposing medieval fortress towns have dominated the landscape since the times of The Knights of St John. Elegantly poised above its own grand harbour Malta’s gloriously aristocratic capital, Valletta, enjoys UNESCO World Heritage status and offers fabulous palaces, churches and museums to explore. Honoured to be European Capital of Culture 2018, Valletta’s honey-coloured, Baroque architecture certainly creates a

stunning first impression and will provide a perfect backdrop to the year-long festivals and celebrations of the visual arts associated with this accolade. Vibrant St Julian’s is known for its waterfront restaurants, thriving nightlife and luxury hotels, Sliema for its designer shopping, whilst inland the island’s old capital, Mdina, is an interesting fortified medieval town. Sandy beaches may be few and far between but the surrounding waters are renowned for their sparkling clarity and stunning shades of blue.

Gozo Delightfully translated as ‘joy’ in Castilian, Gozo, is easily reached by a 25 minute ferry ride from Malta. This tiny island boasts a stunning seascape and delightful rural interior although the real beauty lies in the timeless villages where the locals are known for their friendliness and helpfulness to visitors. Victoria, also known as Rabat, is the geographic and economic capital and across the island there are delightful local traditions and customs and numerous restaurants serving local and international cuisine.

Cuisine Traditional Maltese cooking started out as rustic, peasant dishes dependent on seasonal local produce and the freshest offerings of the fisherman’s catch, and is today an interesting blend of Sicilian and Middle Eastern flavours. Hobza is a delicious sourdough bread, aljotta, a nourishing fish broth made with rice, tomato and garlic, and pastizza, flaky pastry stuffed with ricotta or mushy peas. Timpana, a baked macaroni pie goes head to head with fenek, rabbit cooked in a variety of ways, in the vote for the islanders’ favourite dish. Typical sweets include dates, almonds, hazelnuts, honey, treacle and light pastry and a wide selection of beers, spirits and liqueurs are available including wines from the local wine-houses of Marsovin and Delicata.

Caribbean

Laid back and easy going with a captivating, vibrant culture and fantastic year-round climate, plus world-class hotels, gloriously pristine sandy beaches, tantalising cuisine and renowned rum punches, these Caribbean islands are sure to delight those in search of a tropical paradise.

Crane Beach, Barbados

We offer the finest choice of accommodation, from family-run, small and intimate boutique style retreats and cosy bijou inns to leading luxury hotels and all inclusive resorts with a myriad of facilities and over the following pages we feature a small choice of our full selection. The majority offer complimentary non-motorised watersports, and additionally, in all inclusive resorts, all meals and selected drinks.

When to visit All islands enjoy a fantastic year-round climate with tropical, hot summers tempered by trade winds and warm and pleasant winters popular times to visit. The hurricane season spans June to November although the islands are rarely affected.

Barbados

Antigua

The easternmost island in the Lesser Antilles chain, Barbados (21 miles by 14 miles wide), is just eight and a half hour’s direct flight from the UK. Boasting glorious stretches of white and pink sandy beaches and secluded bays backed by swaying palm trees, it enjoys a fantastic year round tropical climate with warm sunny days pleasantly cooled by prevailing trade winds. Elegantly luxurious hotels and villas provide exceptionally high levels of personal service and all around there’s a fantastically vibrant, laid-back, and friendly atmosphere not least due to the infectious rhythms of calypso music. Everyone loves the colourful festivals, historic sights, colonial architecture, immaculately lush tropical gardens, and great value duty free designer shopping, and Bajan cuisine is as tantalising as the rum cocktails are abundant. There’s a plethora of championship golf courses, polo to enjoy, cricket matches aplenty, and a fabulous choice of sightseeing excursions.

Situated in the north-eastern Caribbean Sea, the twin nation of Antigua and Barbuda additionally includes the uninhabited island of Redonda. Just a nine hour direct flight from the UK, Antigua measures 14 miles long by 11 miles and is the largest English-speaking of the Leeward Islands. The island is surrounded by an almost unbroken offshore reef and blessed with an impressive 365 beautiful, pristine white and pink-hued beaches backed by swaying palm trees, sea grape trees, and lapped by serene turquoise waters and, together with a wonderfully verdant interior and an emerald green rainforest, Antigua is a true paradise. Luxurious award-winning hotels and resorts provide first class service and there’s a prevailing atmosphere of warmth and good humour; Antiguans are renowned for their ‘it’s no problem’ attitude. There’s a vibrant calypso music scene, great examples of colonial architecture and historic sights, duty free shopping, tantalisingly spicy Creole cuisine and world-renowned rum punches.

Sightseeing

Barbados Don’t miss the opportunity to experience life at the bottom of the sea onboard a submarine, whizz through the treetop canopy by wire and zipline, join an offroad guided tour in 4x4 jeeps, or travel through tunnels and underground caverns at Harrison’s Cave. Visit one of the beautifully restored plantation houses and enchanting botanical gardens, join a rum tour, enjoy the famous Friday night Fish Fry at Oistins Bay Gardens or discover the delights of historic Bridgetown. In addition there are vibrant music festivals, sporting events, epicurean affairs, heritage tours and performing arts to entertain, whatever time of year you visit.

St Lucia There are rainforest hiking trails for all levels, the Gros Piton mountain to scramble for the more experienced, or alternatively catch a gondola up the mountainside or whizz through the rainforest on a zipline. Go turtle-watching at Grand Anse beach, visit Pigeon Island and colonial plantation houses for history, soak in a mud bath at the world’s only ‘drive-in volcano’ at Sulphur Springs Park, sign up for a Segway tour, visit botanical gardens and impressive waterfalls, or discover the island’s rich birdlife at wetlands and sanctuaries.

Antigua Antigua

St Lucia Romantic, seductive and part of the Windward Islands, St Lucia is just an 8 hour direct flight from the UK and boasts all the required elements to qualify as a true tropical paradise. In addition to being blessed with the most beautiful palm-fringed beaches and secluded coves, coral reefs, an emerald green rainforest blanketing the interior and dramatic mountains rising majestically from the sea, there is tasty Creole food, vibrant nightlife, adventures aplenty and the warmest of welcomes afforded to visitors.

Barbados

Grenada Grenada, the Spice Isle, offers a more tranquil and certainly off-the-beaten-track alternative to many of the larger Caribbean islands and visitors are drawn by the uncrowded landscapes, secluded beaches with great snorkelling and diving, the fantastic year-round climate and the laid back friendly warmth of the Grenadians. The most southerly of the Windward Islands and a 10.5 hours flight from the UK (often with a touchdown in Saint Lucia), Grenada is of volcanic origin and boasts 45 powdery white and black sand beaches lapped by the most azure of cerulean waters.

There are guided hikes through rainforests, a zip line adventure for the adventurous, 4x4 road trips through rugged terrain, an island trip to neighbouring Barbuda’s Codrington Bird Sanctuary, and garden enthusiasts will delight in colourful Fitches Creek, tropical Ffryes Estate, and Rosmac’s Herb Garden. There’s an open air museum at Betty’s Hope, and duty free shopping and a weekly farmer’s market every Saturday morning in St John’s. Annually, towards the end of July, beginning of August, Carnival comprises ten days of jubilant celebrations.

Grenada Visit the mangrove estuary and coral reef at La Sagresse for bird watching, the Westerhall Estate to learn about distilling rum and join a tour of Gouyave Nutmeg Processing Cooperative. Inland, there’s the Mount Saint Catherine peak, Tufton Hall, the tallest waterfall, and great hiking in and above Grand Etang National Park. To the north, Levera National Park covers 450 stunning acres whilst Lake Antoine, a shallow crater lake, hosts a variety of birdlife. There are guided tours at River Antoine Rum Distillery and at organic, fair-trade chocolate producer, Belmont Estate.

Holiday information MAKING A BOOKING If you book through a travel agent, they will check details and availability with us and if you accept these as satisfactory, a formal contract will exist between you and Classic Collection Holidays. If you make a booking directly with us, we will discuss and confirm the details of the holiday with you and, if you accept these as satisfactory, a formal contract will exist between you and Classic Collection Holidays and your credit card details will be taken at that time. In either event, you must pay the appropriate initial payment or, if within 8 weeks of departure, the full holiday price. The booking form (downloadable from our website) and payment must reach us within 4 working days of the booking being confirmed and we reserve the right to cancel the booking and apply full cancellation charges if they are not received within this time. Late bookings made within 8 weeks of departure require that the total balance is paid immediately. Normal cancellation charges apply to late bookings should you subsequently cancel. Recommendations can be made by our team although the final decision as to hotel and resort suitability is ultimately your choice and we cannot be held liable for our suggestions. To help maintain our high levels of service, calls may be recorded. Special requests such as adjoining rooms, dietary requirements etc, should be detailed under Special requests on the booking form. We will inform the property management and/or carrier of your requirements but we cannot guarantee that these will be met. Where additional local costs are involved, payment should be made directly to the supplier. If you have a disability or suffer mobility difficulties, please complete our Mobility Questionnaire before we confirm your booking. You may wish to research the suitability of your chosen property with Tourism for All 0845 124 9971/73 www.tourismforall.org.uk

BEFORE YOU TRAVEL Passports, visas & travel advice Your passport, visa and immigration requirements are your responsibility and you should confirm these with relevant Embassies and/ or Consulates. We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel because you have not complied with any passport, visa or immigration requirements. For British Citizens, a full ten-year passport is required for travel and it is recommended that your passport is valid for six months from your return date to the UK. Children under 16 must hold their own five-year passport. Contact the UK Passport Agency 0870 521 0410 or www.gov.uk/browse/abroad/ passports for details. Please note that your name and initials on your flight tickets/ documentation must match those on your passport. For up-to-date advice from the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office about travel to, and within, your chosen destination, please visit www.gov.uk/ foreign-travel-advice noting that, as advice can change, it is important to check regularly for the latest information.

Egypt entry visa Classic Collection Holidays normally includes the price of your Egyptian visa in the cost of your holiday and on arrival, you will be met by our local representative who will deal with all necessary visa administration on your behalf. We can only include visas for British Citizen passport holders, and non British Citizen passport holders should check their visa requirements with the Egyptian Consulate in London (0207 2359 777 ext 29) prior to travelling. Vaccinations & health requirements In some countries it is wise, and sometimes obligatory, to have certain vaccinations. As regulations frequently change you should check with your GP’s surgery or www. nathnac.org/travel for up to date information regarding health risks or vaccination requirements. Travel documentation Your flight tickets including e-ticket information and holiday itinerary will normally be dispatched approx 10 days prior to departure although very late booking confirmations and e-ticket details may be forwarded by email only. UK airport charges To cover the cost of development or improvement works, some UK airports charge an airport improvement fee which is payable within the relevant check-in area. For example, at Norwich International Airport a development fee of £10 per adult (16 years+) is payable.

OUR BROCHURE & HOLIDAY DETAILS Brochure accuracy This brochure was printed on 8 June 2018. Details are valid for departures from 1 November 2018 to 30 April 2019 or until publication of any revised edition, or you are notified otherwise by your travel agent or our reservations staff. All the facts in this brochure are re-checked for accuracy by our staff and, where possible, our hoteliers, although of course it is always feasible, especially in low season, that facilities may be unavailable as hotels, especially those which are open all year round, will require maintenance (eg pools), redecoration and refurbishment. Service within hotels may change from time to time eg dining changes from traditional waiter service to buffet style. Such events are regrettably

www.classic-collection.co.uk I freephone 0800 008 7288 or 0800 820 3113

beyond our control although we will alert you to significant changes at time of booking, or if you have already booked, we will contact you as soon as is reasonably possible if there is time before your departure. Room types and upgrades Single rooms normally carry a supplement which is for the convenience of having a room to yourself and location/facilities may be inferior to that of a twin room. In family rooms and twin or double rooms that take additional beds, do note that the extra bed/s could be of a folding or convertible sofa type and beds for children may not be full adult-sized singles. When additional beds are put in a room, floor space will be reduced and cupboard access may be limited. Junior suites normally have a sitting area, and suites have a sitting area or separate sitting room. Ocean or sea view rooms enjoy views of the ocean/sea although foliage, buildings etc may sometimes interupt a full view. Ocean facing or sea facing rooms will face the ocean/sea but will normally be on lower floors where the view of the ocean/sea may be obscured through gardens/trees etc. Side ocean view or side sea view rooms tend to offer a restricted view of the ocean or sea. Please note that the main additional feature of any room category attracting a supplement may often be its view and that this will not necessarily include additional internal room facilities or amenities. Room upgrade supplements are normally detailed on the hotel pages, but occasionally you may see the phrase on request which means that we will have to contact the hotel for up-to-date prices. Hotel facilities normally incur a charge eg sun loungers, tennis, squash, mini-golf, pool table, watersports, entry to disco/nightclub, use of fitness/leisure and spa facilities, children’s clubs, cots, safety deposit boxes and car parking.

Check in/out & duration of holiday On arrival at hotels, check in time is normally 4pm and check out 12 noon. Most hotels can provide luggage storage and changing room facilities if you arrive earlier or stay later, and you may be able to pay locally for a late check out from your room. The number of nights on your confirmation invoice refers to the number of nights reserved for you in your hotel. If you arrive very late at night or in the early hours of the morning, your accommodation is immediately available as it will have been reserved for the whole night and this will count as one of your holiday nights. Meal arrangements Full board normally consists of breakfast, lunch and dinner; half board is breakfast and dinner. Breakfasts are normally served buffet style. Full board or half board arrangements are generally served in the main dining room and are based on a standard table d’hote menu although this normally includes a choice of dishes. Many hotels offer buffet style meals and some a combination of waiter and buffet service. A full a la carte menu is available for an extra cost in most of our hotels and customers should note that when half or full board is offered as a la carte dining, exclusions such as lobster, prawns etc may be available for a local supplement. Most hotels offer the option of booking any number of nights on half or full board so that you can pay in the UK and decide which nights you wish to eat at the hotel when you arrive: simply ask our reservations staff for details. All inclusive arrangements vary widely between hotels and where this concept is offered, it is wise to check specific details at booking stage as many hotels only include local spirits and wines and may limit your choice of restaurant or dining room. As with meal arrangements (above), if a full a la carte menu or restaurant is not included within the all inclusive concept, it may be available for an additional cost and exclusions such as lobster, prawns etc may be available for a local supplement. Dress code Due to the sophisticated nature of many of our hotel restaurants, shorts and t-shirts are unacceptable for evening dining and slightly more formal attire is recommended. Formal dress is normally required for gala dinners and if you’d like to find out further details of dress codes at a particular hotel, simply contact our reservations team. Children & infants To take advantage of children’s prices, a child must normally be aged 2-11 years at the date of return and must share a room with two adults or full fare paying passengers, although some hotels offer special reductions for a second child sharing the room, or for older children, or for a child travelling with one adult, or where children share an interconnecting room. Children paying child prices can normally benefit from reduced half board supplements (when booking same board basis as adults) and will not normally be charged room supplements although if these are payable, relevant prices will be

192

advised at time of booking. Normally children staying in their own room will be charged as full fare paying passengers including relevant room and half board supplements. Please note that infants and children’s dates of birth (on the date of return from holiday) must be advised on the booking form. Infants (under two years of age at date of return) pay a charge to cover our administration costs and additional charges may be levied for certain flights, inter-island connections or business class cabins. Hotels will charge locally for food and cots. Please note that the regulations applied to the manufacture of cots in other countries are not as high as those in the UK and may not conform to British safety standards. Child seats Although we can request child seats for private transfers in resort, they cannot always be guaranteed and in such cases we suggest that you bring your own (see complimentary BubbleBum page 5). Babysitting arrangements are available at many properties although the service will vary and the sitter may not remain in the room with the child. If you wish to use a babysitting service, you must arrange and pay for it locally with the sitter who is frequently a member of the hotel staff not qualified in child care. Health & safety All our properties are checked regularly for compliance in respect of local regulations. However, guests must exercise caution particularly with regard to fire safety, swimming pools, balconies, lifts etc, where compliance may not be equal to British standards. Resort development may be in progress and occasionally the work involved will result in building work being in evidence. We cannot forewarn of all developments, however, if the works taking place, either through noise or other inconvenience, is felt by us to affect your overall holiday enjoyment, we will supply all such information to you directly or via your travel agent. Many of our resorts are in popular holiday destinations which invariably have busy road networks so you may encounter some traffic disturbance especially during peak season.

100% FINANCIAL PROTECTION All the ex-UK flight inclusive holidays within this brochure are financially protected by the ATOL scheme under ATOL number 5837. When you pay you will be supplied with an ATOL certificate (for further information about financial protection please see our booking conditions and www.atol.org.uk). For holidays and travel arrangements which do not include travel by air, your financial protection is administered by the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) under membership number W5429. In the unlikely event of our

www.classic-collection.co.uk I freephone 0800 008 7288 or 0800 820 3113

Representation Due to the specialist nature of our programme it is not always practical to visit our guests in their hotel especially during multi-centres, island hopping or fly drive holidays. All customers will be given emergency contact numbers and departure details will be confirmed on arrival in resort. Our resort representative or local agent will normally make contact within 24 hours of your arrival to ensure that everything is in order, although should you encounter any difficulties during your stay, please contact your hotel manager in the first instance, and if further assistance is required, simply contact our resort manager or local agent who will endeavour to resolve the problem.

Booking conditions Our commitment to you 1. Provision of your holiday We will arrange for the provision to you of the services which make up the inclusive holiday as confirmed to you. These services will be provided either directly by us or by independently contracted suppliers. When you, or your travel agent, ask for your holiday booking to be confirmed, we allocate your chosen holiday to you and give confirmation of the booking at that moment. It is then that a firm contract exists between you and Classic Collection Holidays Limited (Registered in England no. 1512421) on the basis of these booking conditions. This also acts as your acceptance of our booking conditions and your holiday is secured from that moment. If your holiday includes flight arrangements, you will be issued with an ATOL certificate immediately and, in any event, you will receive a holiday confirmation invoice verifying the details. All holidays and offers, including but not limited to Classic Value offers, advertised in the brochure are subject to availability and are as confirmed to you by telephone or on your Holiday Confirmation Invoice. 2. Your holiday price A. When you book All prices, supplements and offers shown in this brochure are based on costs at time of printing (8 June 2018) although we reserve the right to amend all prices, supplements and offers (up or down) when we receive notification of new costs. Hotels practice fluid pricing which means that costs may significantly increase during periods of high demand. Classic Value may not be available where we have exceeded our contractually pre-allocated rooms at certain hotels. Prices in this brochure include airline rates applicable at the time of printing and are subject to change. The government charges a levy to cover financial protection in the event of an airline failure and we automatically add this to your invoice total at the booking stage. Once you have confirmed your holiday booking, the price is protected subject to clause 2D of these booking conditions. Please note that not all hotel features detailed are complimentary, and some are subject to seasonal demand. B. VAT and Exchange rates Our VAT Registration number is 503 944 749 and all prices quoted in this brochure include VAT where relevant (at 20% at time of going to press). The brochure prices of holidays were calculated using exchange rates quoted in the Financial Times Guide to World Currencies on 31 May 2018 in relation to the following currencies: Euro 1.1405, US Dollar 1.3326, Moroccan Dirham 12.5817. Please note a) these rates are not comparable with note or tourist rates which are quoted in national newspapers b) hotel costs, transfers, resort representation, excursions, local taxes and part of the flight cost are typically paid in the currency of your holiday destination country. Aviation fuel is paid in US Dollars. All of these costs are affected by changes in the cost of buying foreign currency, as per exchange rates listed above. We reserve the right to increase our prices in accordance with these booking conditions. C. Price Promise If you can find the same flight inclusive holiday at a cheaper price at the time that you book, we undertake to match the price and will give an additional £10 per adult saving off any competitor’s price. In order to take advantage of our Price Promise, the component parts of the relevant holiday must be identical and we reserve the right to request confirmation in writing of the relevant competitor’s holiday price. Our Price Promise cannot be actioned retrospectively after a booking has been made, and it is only available on new bookings made during the validity of this brochure. Unfortunately we cannot always match prices where we believe our competitors have made a pricing error or where they are offering the holiday arrangements at a price below their operating costs. If a competitor’s price is greater than

£150 per adult and/or £50 per child below our price, we deem one of these two scenarios to be true and will not honour our Price Promise. D. Surcharges (after booking) Once you have booked, the price of your holiday travel arrangements may be varied due to changes in transportation costs such as fuel, scheduled airfares and any other airline cost changes which are part of the contract between airlines (and their agents) and the tour operator or organiser, and also in respect of government action such as changes in VAT or any other government imposed changes. In the case of any small variation, an amount equivalent to 2% of the price of your travel arrangements, and any amendment charges, will be absorbed or retained. For larger variations, this 2% will still be absorbed for increases but not retained from refunds. In either case there will be an administration charge of £1 per person together with an amount to cover agent’s commission. In the unlikely event that this means that you have to pay an increase of more than 10% of the price of your holiday travel arrangements, you may cancel your booking and receive a full refund of all monies paid, except for any amendment charges. Should you decide to cancel for this reason, you must exercise your right to do so within 14 days from the issue date printed on your final invoice. E. Tourist tax Some regions and cities impose a tourist tax. Amounts often vary between region and hotel star rating and often are payable by customers locally on departure from their hotel. Tourist taxes may be introduced or changed without prior notice and our reservations team are happy to advise current rates where applicable. 3. If your booking is changed It is unlikely that your booking will have to be changed, but we do plan the arrangements many months in advance, therefore we reserve the right to do so at any time. Most of these changes are very minor, but where they are major, we will inform you or your travel agent as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before your departure. A major change is one that is made to a major part of your holiday arrangements before departure, such as a change of your departure airport (except between London airports), resort area or time of departure or return by more than twelve hours, or offering accommodation with a lower category rating. If we have to make a major change you have the choice of the following: A accepting the changed arrangements as notified to you, B purchasing another available holiday from us, or C cancelling your holiday and receiving a full refund of all monies paid. Additionally, if we make a major change after you have paid the full balance of your holiday and you accept A, B or C you will be entitled to compensation on the scale shown below. Period before scheduled departure within which a major change is notified to you or your travel agent:

Compensation per adult

More than 56 days 43-56 days 29-42 days 15-28 days 0-14 days

Nil £20 £30 £40 £50

Important note Compensation payments do not apply to changes caused by reason of war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial disputes, natural and nuclear disasters, fire, or other circumstances that may amount to force majeure. 4. If your holiday is cancelled We reserve the right in any circumstance to cancel your holiday and, in this event, we will return to you all money you have paid us or will offer you an alternative holiday of comparable standard to purchase. In no case, except for those beyond our control, will your holiday be cancelled after the balance is paid and in such cases compensation will be paid per clause 3.

5. What happens to complaints Disputes arising out of, or in connection with, this contract which cannot be settled amicably may be referred to arbitration if the customer so wishes, under a special scheme arranged by the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) which is approved by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute. The ABTA scheme provides for a relatively simple and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone with restricted liability on the customer with regards to cost. Under the scheme, customers must pursue their claim within 12 months of the date of return from their holiday. (Outside this time limit, arbitration under the scheme may still be available if the Company agrees, although the ABTA scheme does not require such agreement). The scheme does not apply to claims for amounts greater than £5,000 per person or £25,000 per booking, neither does it apply to claims which are solely in respect of physical injury or illness or their consequences. However, the scheme can deal with compensation claims which include an element of minor injury or illness subject to a per person limit of £1,500 on the personal injury or illness element of the claim. Full details can be provided by us or www.abta.com 6. Our responsibility for your holiday We accept responsibility for ensuring that all component parts of the inclusive holiday, limited to items included on confirmation invoice, and subject to the paragraph entitled Air Passenger Rights below, are supplied to you as described in this brochure and to a reasonable standard. If any such part is not provided to your satisfaction due to the fault of our employees, agents, or suppliers, we will pay you appropriate compensation if this has affected the enjoyment of your holiday (see Important note in paragraph 3 above). Our liability in this respect is limited to a maximum of three times the value of the holiday. We must ask you however, to be patient and understanding in the event of unforeseen alterations to your holiday made by our suppliers over whom we have no direct control. Air Passenger Rights Under EU law you have rights in some circumstances to refunds and/or compensation from your airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation or delay to flights. Full details of these rights will be publicised at EU airports and will also be available from airlines. However reimbursement in such cases is the responsibility of the airline and will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your holiday cost from us. Your right to a refund and/or compensation from us is set out in paragraph 3. If your airline does not comply with these rules you can make a complaint via the Civil Aviation Authority www.CAA.co.uk 7. Excursions (whilst participating in arrangements made by us) Excursions or other tours that you may choose to book or pay for whilst you are on holiday are not part of the holiday provided by us. For any excursion or other tour that you book, your contract is with the operator of the excursion or tour and not with us and we are not responsible for the provision of the excursion or tour or for anything that happens during the course of its provision. 8. Personal Injury (whilst participating in arrangements made by us) We have taken all reasonable and proper steps to ensure that proper arrangements have been made for all the holidays which are advertised in this brochure and that the suppliers of the various services which will be provided to you as part of the inclusive holiday are efficient, safe and reputable businesses, and that they comply with the local and national laws and regulations of the country in which they provide those services. We have no direct control over the provision of services to customers by suppliers. However, subject to the Notes below, we will pay to our customers the equivalent of such damages as they would be entitled to receive under English law in an English Court for

any airport I any airline I any day & duration

193


any personal injury to the customer, including illness or death, caused by the negligence, as understood in English Law, of the servants or agents of ourselves or of any of our suppliers contracted or sub-contracted by us to provide any part of the arrangements for your holiday as described in this brochure. With regard to any relevant international convention for example, the Montreal Convention in respect of travel by air, the Athens Convention in respect of travel by sea, the Berne Convention in respect of travel by rail, and the Paris Convention in respect of the provision of accommodation, which limit the amount of compensation that you can claim for death, injury, delay to passengers and loss, damage and delay to luggage, we are to be regarded as having all benefit of any limitation of compensation contained in these or any conventions. Copies of these can be made available on request. 9. Personal Injury (unconnected with travel arrangements made by us) If you, or any member of your party, suffer death, illness or injury whilst overseas arising out of an activity which does not form part of your holiday arrangements or an excursion arranged through us, we shall at our discretion, offer advice, guidance and assistance. Where legal action is contemplated and you want our assistance, you must obtain our written consent prior to commencement of proceedings. Our consent will be given subject to you undertaking to assign any costs or benefits received, under any relevant insurance policy to ourselves. We limit the cost of our assistance to you or any member of your party to £5,000. Under your travel insurance cover, you must make an insurance claim under the legal expenses section in respect of any legal fees incurred abroad for that purpose. Notes in respect of paragraphs 8 & 9 We would request that you (a) notify us of any claim for personal injury within 2 months of your return from holiday; (b) assign to Classic Collection Holidays any rights against a supplier or any other person or party you may have relating to the claim; and (c) agree to co-operate fully with us should our insurers wish to enforce those rights. This assignment is necessary to enable us to try to recover from suppliers any compensation paid to customers and associated costs as a result of personal injury to customers caused by the negligence of those suppliers. It is not our wish to profit from such assignment, and in the unlikely event of our recovering more than such compensation and costs, any excess will be paid to the injured customers.

Your commitment to Classic Collection Holidays 1. Your holiday contract As soon as your holiday booking is confirmed, you must sign a booking form accepting our booking conditions. Your contract is made on the terms of these booking conditions which are governed by English law and the jurisdiction of the English Courts. You may however choose the law and jurisdiction of Scotland or Northern Ireland if you wish to do so. Any disputes arising will be heard in the English Courts unless you prefer the courts of Scotland or Northern Ireland. 2. Payment for the holiday You pay a deposit of £150 per person (or an agreed sum to cover non-refundable flight seats and/or hotel or other costs) when you book. This is your commitment until 8 weeks before departure when your final balance is due. You must pay the balance at least 8 weeks before departure. For bookings within 8 weeks of departure, full payment is required at time of booking. If payment is not received as above, we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled and your deposit/s would be forfeited. If you pay a travel agent for your holiday they will

194

hold that money as our agent from the time they receive it until they pay it to us. Deposits and balances paid to us can be made by bank transfer, cheque or card. 3. If you change your booking If you want to change any details of your booking (eg transfer to a different holiday, departure date or airport), we will do our best to help as soon as we receive your request in writing. We charge an amendment fee of £25 per person named on the booking form for each detail of the booking to be changed and, in addition to the amendment fee, we will charge for any additional costs we incur in making the amendment/s. Please note that it is highly likely that amendment costs will increase the closer the change is made to your departure date. If amendments to a booking are made, and the booking is subsequently cancelled, we reserve the right to charge the original cancellation charges that would have been payable prior to the amendment.

IMPORTANT

Some arrangements (eg flights purchased from certain airlines and certain hotel bookings or other costs) may not be refundable or transferable after a reservation has been made and any alteration request may incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that particular part of the holiday arrangements. Where the price varies depending on the number of persons travelling and the numbers are amended, the price will be recharged on the basis of the new party size. Any increase in price per person payable as a result of a part cancellation is not a cancellation charge and will not normally be covered by your chosen insurance. A separate cancellation charge will be levied in respect of bookings cancelled in accordance with paragraph 4 below. A new confirmation invoice will be issued as appropriate on which the cancellation charges will be shown. 4. If you cancel your booking You or any member of your party may cancel your booking, or part of it, once it has been confirmed, but the instructions will only be valid if in writing and signed by the person who confirmed the booking. Your written instructions should go either to the travel agent you booked with, asking them to notify us immediately, or if you booked direct, to our address. To compensate us for the expense of processing your booking, payment of cancellation fees are on the scale shown. The amount payable depends on when we receive your written instructions. Period before scheduled departure within which written holiday instructions are received by us

More than 56 days 43-56 days 29-42 days 15-28 days 8-14 days 7 days or fewer

Deposit/initial payment 30% or deposit if greater 50% or deposit if greater 70% or deposit if greater 90% or deposit if greater 100%

5. If you have a complaint If you have a complaint about your holiday please refer the matter to the supplier immediately (airline, hotel, car hire company etc). If further assistance is required our agent/representative in resort should be contacted. Matters can most easily be resolved for you on the spot when the supplier can see and understand the exact nature of any problems you have. It is unreasonable to take no action whilst on holiday, then complain afterwards. In the unlikely event that matters cannot be resolved to your satisfaction our agent/representative will ask you to record details on a holiday report form of which you will be given a copy, and you must then follow up your report by writing to our Customer Relations team within 28 days of returning from resort.

6. Holiday illness If you, or any member of your party, become unwell whilst on holiday you must consult a local doctor in order to receive appropriate treatment and to obtain a full medical report. You must also report your illness as soon as reasonably practicable to our local or telephone agent/representative, the contact details of whom can be found on your travel documents. Notes in respect of paragraphs 5 & 6 Failure to follow the procedures set out in paragraphs 5 and 6 above may reduce or extinguish any rights you have to claim compensation from us or any of our suppliers either in accordance with these booking conditions or otherwise. 7. Holiday participation We reserve the right to decline to accept or retain any person as a customer if their conduct is disruptive and affects the enjoyment of other holidaymakers, and we shall be under no liability for any extra costs incurred by such a person as a result of our doing so. Aircraft captains are legally entitled to deny boarding to any passenger presenting themselves at the aircraft who, at the captain’s absolute discretion, are unacceptably under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Any passenger who is denied boarding on the outbound flight for that reason, shall be deemed to have given notice of cancellation of his/her booking at that moment, and cancellation charges will apply in accordance with paragraph 4. 8. Your accommodation The accommodation provided is only for the use of passengers shown on the confirmation invoice as confirmed by us; subletting, sharing or assignment is prohibited. 9. Your travel ticket conditions When you travel with an air or sea or rail carrier, their conditions of carriage apply, some of which limit liability. These conditions are often the subject of international agreements between countries, and copies of the conditions which apply are available for inspection at the travel agent where you book your holiday. 10. Travel Insurance It is a condition of booking with us that you and all members of your booking are adequately insured on holiday and that the insurance is suitable for your needs and the type of activities you will be undertaking as part of your holiday. We reserve the right to request written details of such policy. You are responsible for indemnifying us in full in the event that we incur any losses or expenses arising out of your failure to take out adequate insurance cover. 11. Data Protection & GDPR Classic Collection Holidays is registered under the Data Protection Act 1988 and deals with all personal data in accordance therewith. It is, of course, necessary for us to pass personal data to airlines, hotels, transportation companies, insurers and other agents in order that we can arrange your holiday. By confirming a booking with us, you have consented to allow the passing on of such data as we determine necessary for that purpose. Under the Data Protection Act, you have the right to inspect relevant personal information held by us. From 25 May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force and relevant information including our role as data controller, is detailed in the privacy policy statement on our website.

Charter flights Through a range of charter airline partners, we are delighted to offer a choice of direct flights from many UK airports. These flights may restrict your holiday duration to 7 or 14 nights, but we know that to fly direct to your holiday destination from your local airport is normally preferable.

Upgrades British Airways’ flights offer a choice of cabin options dependent upon the route. Club Europe benefits include generous legroom and increased seat pitch, meals and snacks relevant to the time of day and flight duration, complimentary drinks (wine, beer and spirits), dedicated check-in desks and complimentary use of airport lounge facilities where you can relax before boarding. Club Europe passengers also enjoy an increased luggage allowance and two bags (each weighing a maximum of 23kg) per person are included in our prices.

British Airways Many of our destinations are served by British Airways and we are proud of our Preferred Partner status with this airline. Two cabin options are available: Euro Traveller and Club Europe. British Airways’ Euro Traveller passengers in the main cabin enjoy the highest standards expected of British Airways including generous legroom and increased seat pitch. Enjoying a partnership with Marks and Spencer, British Airways offers customers in the Euro Traveller cabin the opportunity to purchase a range of delicious savoury snacks and sweet treats, plus alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks are available to buy. On board payment must be by credit or debit card or you can use your Avios points (cash is not accepted).
