Kauai
First up, we take you off to Kauai in dreamy Hawaii. Even the name sounds exotic, doesn’t it?

Bali
Bali has been popular as a honeymoon destination for years but it’s also becoming a holiday hotspot for families, singles and groups of friends who are looking for long haul adventure and when only exotic and distant shores will do, Bali is the place.
June is a lovely time to go, in fact anytime between April and October is good for the best of weather -there is less rainfall and humidity is lower. The hot Indonesian sunshine is just perfect for embracing the relaxing, laid back vibe of this atmospheric island. Bali remains largely unspoilt and exudes serenity, colour and spirituality, yet it offers first class hotels and amenities for tourists.

Lake Garda
This Italian gem seems to get more popular with every passing year. Our love affair with the beauty and serenity of Lake Garda continues in 2018 and without doubt, June is a beautiful time to visit. This stunning pocket of northern Italy is packed with medieval villages, quaint towns and jaw dropping scenery. It’s hard to imagine a more beautiful or perfect setting for your trip. Lake Garda attracts a more sedate and upmarket crowd. There are no rowdy groups of revellers to worry about and you’ll be mixing with elegant European and middle -class British holidaymakers. It’s also very family friendly and the clientele consists of couples, families, singles, and seniors. The resorts are lively enough but if you want rocking nightlife, don’t come here. April – June is a nice time to visit as the weather is warm but the towns are less crowded. July and August can get very hot and as this is when Italians take their holiday it can be very busy.
