MAKE IT A JOURNEY - TWIN CENTRE HOLIDAYS

Why stay at one hotel when you can have two? We love this style of holiday as it gives you twice as many facilities to enjoy, more restaurants to dine at and allows you to explore more of the destinations you visit. It also gives you the opportunity to stay at two completely different styles of hotel and maybe try something a bit different!

We’ve put together some ideas for you on our favourite combinations. Save this page and we’ll keep adding to it each month.

MAURITIUS & REUNION ISLAND

Combining the beautiful white sandy beaches of Mauritius with the adventure and dramatic scenery of Reunion makes for an unforgettable holiday. Pairing these two islands together as a twin centre holiday gives you the opportunity to combine relaxation with exploration. 
 
Mauritius is know for it’s stunning beaches, calm waters and luxury hotels. It’s the perfect island for relaxing and enjoying the great food on offer. 
 
Reunion is only a 45 minute flight from Mauritius, making it really easy to combine the two. The coastline is more wild and rugged than Mauritius and the mountainous landscape provides many opportunities for adventure. Your itinerary here could include hiking, paragliding, canyoning and mountain biking. It’s also home to one of the world’s most accessible active volcanos. 
 

Suggested stay: 5* Sugar Beach Mauritius & 5* LUX* Saint Gilles

MAURITIUS – RAINFOREST & COAST

As we love Mauritius so much we thought we’d give you another suggested combination that works really well. This is one for couples rather than families and it combines a stay in a unique Bubble Lodge on a tea estate at one of the highest points on the island, with a beach resort.
 
Including a stay at Bubble Lodge Bois Chéri adds something really unique and special to your itinerary. The Bubble Lodge’s are semi-transparent eco-domes set up by the lake, surrounded by the endemic trees of Mauritius. You will spend the night under the stars, cocooned in nature. Your stay includes a visit to the Tea Factors, tea tasting, bike rental, 2 hikes to discover the Domaine, fauna and flora and an activity around the crop in the tea fields.
 
Combine this with a stay at one of the many beautiful beach resorts in Mauritius.
 

Suggested stay: Bubble Lodge Bois Chéri & 4*Lagoon Attitude

BOUTIQUE CROATIA CRUISE & SPLIT STAY

Combining a boutique cruise in Croatia with Split gives you the perfect mix of island hopping and city break.
 

Croatia has over a thousand islands and islets, making the Croatian archipelago the largest in the Adriatic Sea. A boutique cruise is the perfect way to explore this region as it allows you to stop off and explore many islands, big and small. We recommend an 8 day cruise from Split to Bol, Hvar Island, Korcula, Dubrovnik, Mljet, Brac Island, Omis and back to Split. 

Split is a vibrant port town and a great coastal city break. We love the balance of modern and history that you find here. Explore ancient Roman monuments, impressive palaces and the Old Town. Within the Old Town you’ll find dozens of bars, restaurants and shops and buzzing with activity. 
 

Suggested stay: M/S Captain Bota Cruise & 4* D Resort Sibenik

MARRAKECH & ESSAOUIRA

Explore the ancient city and vibrant souks of Marrakech before escaping to the more laid-back coastal town of Essaouira. We love the combination of city and beach and there are so many opportunities to stay in completely different styles of accommodation with this combination. 
 
Lose yourself in the labyrinths of Marrakech’s lively medina’s. The colourful souks are an incredible place to explore with so much going on around every corner. Find treasures and have fun bargaining with the sellers, before enjoying the food at one of the many fabulous restaurants. There’s a huge range of accomodation options on offer here from quirky riads in the city centre to opulent 5* luxury hotels. 
 
Essaouira is a much calmer alternative to Marrakech and works really well as a combined twin centre holiday. Here you fill find a medina in the old city walls, as well as wide sandy beach. There are some great larger resort style hotels here, with plenty of watersports on offer.
 

Suggested stay: 5* The Oberoi & 5* Heaure Bleue Palais

DUBAI & OMAN

Combine modern with tradition with a stay in Dubai and Oman. We love this combination as it pairs two very contrasting destinations that work very well together. Logistically they are very east to combine as well since Oman is only a 1 hour flight from Dubai.
 
Dubai is renowned for it’s striking modern architecture, glitzy malls and entertaining leisure experiences. It has both the world’s tallest skyline and the world’s largest man-made island. Holidays in Dubai can be as action packed or as relaxed as you want them to be. Whether your perfect day is skiing followed by a world class show, or relaxing on the beach and fine dining, you can have it all in Dubai. 
 
Oman by contrast is a low-rise, traditional Sultanate with an  emphasis on heritage. The landscape of Oman is stunning and relatively unspoilt by modern architecture. The ancient Omani villages, farms and heritage sites in the mountains are centuries distant from today’s bustling cities. 
 

Suggested stay: 5* One&Only Royal Mirage – Arabian Court & 5* Six Senses Zighy Bay
