Holidays to The Unique Islands of Cape Verde
The hot new destination! The islands are a real gem located in the Atlantic Ocean just over 500km off the west coast of Africa with tropical beaches fit for a postcard and varied landscapes to explore. We offer direct flights from UK to Sal and this summer sees the first direct flight from the UK to Boa Vista, and with the islands being only 1 hour behind GMT and under 6 hours flying time these tropical islands are closer than you think. With 10 diverse islands there is something for everyone from spectacular unspoilt beaches, fantastic watersports, rugged mountains and even a live volcano!
Boa Vista offers mile upon mile of glistening white sands where you can enjoy uninterrupted walks and escape the hustle of bustle of everyday life and relax and unwind in the peaceful ambience. Pure paradise!
We offer 10 hotels on Sal, 3 on Boa Vista, 3 on Santiago and a further 3 on Sao Vicente, while many of the other islands are featured on day excursions. We can organise a holiday for you visiting a single island, a twin centre or tailor-make an island hopping itinerary.

Holidays to Senegal
As The Gambia Experience we have been providing quality holidays to the Gambia for over 20 years and in that time we have seen a continual growth in interest in similar holidays to Senegal.
We have provided a very limited program to this intriguing country for more than 5 years now but are pleased to announce our forthcoming extended program which will include direct flights into Senegal's capital of Dakar, the beach-lover's paradise of the Saly region and the watery haven of the Sine Saloum Delta. Each of these destinations reveals a different aspect of Senegal - whether through landscape and environment or the melting-pot mix of cultural influences that so sets this country apart from the rest of West Africa. We have a dedicated brochure awaiting release, which will contain some unique properties, and extensive detail on all this little-explored country has to offer. We're sure you'll be captivated...
The Corsican Holiday Specialists
Corsican Places is one of the leading specialists to the Mediterranean island and offers everything from simple apartments and character hotels to luxury villas with pools. The 2008 brochure features the widest range of accommodation and flights and since the brochure was printed even more properties have been added.
Many of us in the office enjoy a winter sun holiday in The Gambia and then some summer sunshine in Corsica, both very different destinations but each relaxing and unspoilt. If you would like to find out what Corsica has to offer and whether it would be your ideal summer holiday destination, speak to one of our reservations team. They have all been to Corsica and will be there again this summer to see even more of the island and keep their memories fresh. They'll be happy to share their experiences to help you decide whether it's right for you. Our Product Manager and Contracts Manager have visited the island over 50 times so are real experts - whatever you need to know, just ask!
The Sardinian Holiday Specialists
Sardinian Places (previously known as Voyages Ilena) unsurprisingly offers holiday acommodation on the beautiful island of Sardinia. The island has a great deal to offer, with dramatic coastal scenery, turquoise seas and glorious beaches giving way to the spectacular forested mountains and macchia of the interior. The island also has a rich cultural and historical heritage blending the influence of the Italian mainland with a heady dose of the nearby North African peninsula.
Whether you are looking to share one of our villas, stay at one of our selected hotels and apartments, or create your very own two-centre holiday staying in Sardinia and neighbouring Corsica, Sardinian Places can help you to plan your perfect Sardinian holiday experience.
