Book early to get the best of our European private villa portfolio and find somewhere to be comfortably ‘en famille’ but with staff to do the heavy lifting for you. Enjoy the panoramic views of cypress-strewn hills and vineyards from one of our Tuscan villas complete with generous swimming pools and shaded loggias. Or rent an elegantly-restored Provencal ‘Mas’, deep in lavender-scented countryside and within reach of charming French villages. If the beach and sea views is more your thing then Spain’s Balearic Islands will deliver.
August is a great month to walk the Inca trail (or simply be driven) to Machu Picchu in Peru, where the verdant rain forest gives way to the soaring Andes and the UNESCO world heritage town of Cusco. Historic Lima and the mysterious Nazca Lines also wait to be explored.
Far to the east but well worth the flight, the waters of the Indonesian Archipelago, rich in marine life, beckon for world-class diving off the coasts of Bali and Lombok. Every island offers something different from the temples of Java, to the dragons of Komodo and the deep spiritual life of Bali. Perhaps charter one of our beautiful yachts to discover unspoilt beaches and fertile coral reefs or visit Sumba with its unique cultural heritage, awesome surfing and native horses.
