Celebrate!

If you’ve been the same age for the last seven or so years, these trips might not be for you, but for anyone who sees significant birthdays and anniversaries as a barely disguised excuse for a party, then read on….

There are few forays abroad as fun as taking out a beautiful property in its entirety and packing it full of friends (and sometimes even relatives), all of whom are there to pay homage to how wonderful you look for 21 or 30 or 50 or 100, or how well your marriage/civil partnership/cohabitation has stood the test of time.

Our choice of exclusive hire options ranges from romantic riads in the Marrakech medina to Andalucian haciendas and others further afield, and all of which we have visited personally and recommend highly.
