Booking Which
do I book first, flights or accommodation?
Once you have sourced your
flights, ask
us to Confirm
Availability - Make Reservation for your accommodation. We will confirm availability
and hold this for you for up to 7 days (pending a formal booking). This allows
you to book flights or make other transport arrangements. Why
book with us?
Our holidays are aimed at those who prefer the flexibility
of independent travel to package holidays. Our clients tell us that they book
with us because of the personal service, which they receive. We make all arrangements
easy and can help you find the best deals on flights, car hire and insurance,
which you are free to book from any provider. Best of all though, our accommodation
is set in a naturist environment. Arrivals What
