TRANQUIL COVE

Just below the infinity pool lies a tranquil cove of soft white sand where guests can swim in warm Indian Ocean waters and enjoy snorkelling straight from the beach. Scuba diving, kite surfing and stand-up paddle boarding can be easily arranged, and you can even explore the nearby mangrove swamps aboard the hotel’s own traditional dhow. Otherwise, indulge in a massage, sip on a freshly cut coconut from a nearby palm tree and enjoy the hotel’s warm Swahili hospitality. The cuisine is excellent with an emphasis on fresh seafood.

“A TRIP OF A LIFETIME, PERFECTLY PLANNED”
Dear Claire, our trip was 100% amazing. We fell in love with Chile. I love how we were introduced to all of the different parts of the country. Our family was engaged in all of the fun from beginning to end. The lodges were just perfection. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. I really appreciate all you did to make our trip a trip of a lifetime.

The itinerary was spot on. Claire really listened and understood the kind of holiday I wanted – from the hotels to the pace of the trip. The team on the ground were exceptional: friendly, efficient, and always one step ahead, helping with everything from flight check-ins to tax-free procedures at the end. The guides were knowledgeable and genuinely helpful. I had an amazing time. Thank you!

“WONDERFUL TREK IN NEPAL AND VISIT TO TIGER RESERVE”
From our very first phone call, The Ultimate Travel Company provided excellent service. We shared our ideas and they came back with a proposal that included everything we wanted – then improved it with thoughtful suggestions. We were especially impressed that our tailor-made holiday was competitively priced. Once on the ground, everything ran smoothly. We were met at each airport, stayed in fantastic hotels, and had a brilliant guide for our trek. A truly enjoyable and well-managed trip from start to finish.
