Plan the perfect special occasion holiday for yourself, a loved one or close friend with a little help from the well travelled experts at Elegant Resorts.
Whether it is a 50th birthday holiday where you can spend time with all those you hold most dear or a special romantic wedding anniversary holiday for just the two of you, we can recommend the best destinations and accommodation that will perfectly match your tastes and requirements.
Those who are looking for a romantic retreat to celebrate an anniversary may want to consider Huvafen Fushi which is located on a private island in the Maldives. Here you can stay in oceanside detached bungalows with their own plunge pools which offer stunning views of the Indian Ocean. The staff here cater for your every need, with a range of exquisite dining options including in-villa dining if you are looking for a more intimate meal. There is also an on-site spa which has the world’s first and only underwater massage treatment rooms.
There are also a range of excursions and experiences that can be arranged for couples staying at the resort. This includes water sports such as scuba diving, snorkeling and windsurfing, in addition to slightly more relaxed excursions such as breakfast cruises out to see the region's resident dolphins.
Another resort in the Maldives which is better suited to special occasion breaks that the whole family can get involved in is Amilla Maldives which is located in a UNESCO-listed World Biosphere Reserve in the heart of the Indian Ocean's Baa Atoll region. Younger guests here will love the kids club which arranges activities such as beach hunts and fun pool parties. There are also educational activities for old and young with a resident marine biologist who imparts insights into the local marine life. You can then go and explore these in person on a speedboat tour or using a snorkel, with qualified diving instructors on-hand to help guide you through the thrilling process.
If spending time together as a group of friends or family is the goal of the holiday, then you may want to explore our stunning hand-picked collection of castles and private estates. This includes the Camp Estate in New Zealand, an elegant country house located on the grounds of Larnach Castle. With five lavish bedrooms on offer alongside a relaxing guest lounge with a warming fireplace and honesty bar, there’s plenty of space for privacy and opportunities to hang out with the rest of your party.
Camp Estate is a particular treat for foodies, with evening meals to be taken in one of the castle’s majestic dining rooms where you will share a long table with other guests. On offer here is a four course ‘trust the chef’ menu which has a New Zealand theme with ingredients sourced locally. A selection of fine New Zealand wines are also on offer from the castle wine cellar. A children’s menu is also available for the younger guests.
This is just a short selection of the many resorts we have available for special occasion breaks. Our well travelled experts are on hand to work with you to help you build a tailor made package. We use first hand experience to recommend the best accommodation, excursions and activities which are bespoke to the desires and requirements of the entire booking party.
