Long Hot Summer
The arrival of winter is not something we like to think about, especially when we are still enjoying summer evenings in the garden. Unfortunately it is inevitable that we will soon be donning extra layers as autumn approaches.
To beat the onset of the winter blues, why not travel to one of our highlighted holiday destinations. All the areas featured this month bask in hot and sunny weather between October and March, making this the perfect opportunity to enjoy an extended summer.
Now is also the best time to book a winter warmer, so why not: live the life of a gaucho on an Argentinian estancia, experience the history and splendour of India's Rajput kings, explore the incredible wildlife of Madagascar or discover the remote islands of Papua New Guinea.
Whatever you decide don't forget to speak to one of our experts to design your perfect winter break.
