A fantastic day of polo in support of the British Forces Foundation...
The British Forces Foundation motto is 'in the business of morale' - what a great philosophy. We're into building morale too, but not in such as benevolent a way - we were delighted to support their good cause last Saturday by providing four Original holidays as prizes for the winning polo team of a charity match.
The Commonwealth team won
With the lure of a holiday spurring the players on, naturally the quality of play shot up! The Commonwealth team beat the Hurlingham GB team, and the lucky players are now heading off, respectively, to the boutique Brody House in beautiful Budapest (beat that for alliteration); the grand old Telegraaf Hotel in Tallinn; Son Net, an exquisite Mallorcan finca (farmhouse) hotel in the stunning Tramuntana mountains; and finally an Andalucian retreat - the Hacienda San Rafael near Seville.
Prize giving
Here's a picture of Nick (our CEO and co-founder) handing out the prizes. The polo day was hosted by Berenberg private banking, and raised thousands for the British Forces Foundation - a great support to our service men and women, no matter what your views on each individual campaign our Armed Forces are involved in.

Be sure to pack a raincoat and a warm jumper (just in case…) and then hop aboard a ferry and set sail for the island of your choosing. If you’re struggling to decide,

Pin drop travel is our portfolio of destinations where silence is golden. With screens, schedules and the general chaos of the world competing for our attention, there’s never been a better time to escape to quiet holiday destinations so still you can (as the name suggests) hear a pin drop. Sometimes, all we need is the chance to slow down, breathe deeply and rediscover the simple joy of hearing… almost nothing at all.

Sitting pretty just off the coast of Spain lie Menorca and Mallorca – two Balearic beauties that share azure waters and Mediterranean charm (and fairly similar names), but each offer a different slice of island life, making the decision between Menorca or Mallorca a tough one. Mallorca, the life-and-soul sibling, dazzles with culture-packed cities, chic beach clubs and energy that lingers long after golden hour.
