Here’s our selection of luxury twin-centre beach escapes which will be sure to take your breath away and create sensational memories for years to come.

Hideaway in heavenly Barbados and the Grenadines

For the ultimate Caribbean retreat, we recommend visiting charming Barbados and tranquil Palm Island on a twin-centre trip. You’ll start your trip at The Sandpiper Hotel, an exclusive small hotel that provides an intimate and secluded atmosphere. With water sports and shopping in Holetown nearby, there’ll be lots to keep you occupied when you fancy a break from sunbathing.

Next, you’ll then transfer to the Palm Island Resort where pure relaxation kicks in. This island is known for its laid-back atmosphere, and the resort fits right in with its on-site spa offering indulgent treatments and therapies. The setting is phenomenal, and the restaurants serve many local and international delicacies – we recommend arranging a private beach dinner for a perfect end to a special day.

Island-hopping in the stunning Seychelles

With 115 islands making up the Seychelles, it would be a shame to only stay at one. We recommend this sensational island hopping tour where you’ll be able to explore three diverse islands: Cerf, Bird Island and Praslin.

The trip begins in Praslin with a stay at the tropical Le Domaine de la Reserve; relaxing in the pool with a luscious backdrop of soaring mountains shrouded by tropical forests. You’ll then transfer to Bird Island which is remote and unspoilt. You’ll stay at the Bird Island Lodge – the only hotel on the island. The final island of the trip will see you at the Cerf Island Resort (a small island just off of Mahe), which is situated on the Sainte Anne Marine National Park. This trip is an island-hopping dream.
