Our guide to booking
Christmas 2025

The best festive holidays are going fast – here’s our step by step guide to getting Christmas all wrapped up

While it may seem a little early to start thinking about Christmas, you’d be surprised to learn how quickly availability for the festive season gets snapped up. As one of the most popular times of year for luxury travel, it pays to book early to get the best choice of flight seats and hotel rooms.

Just like the Christmas period itself, it doesn't need to be stressful; our expert team will handle all of the elements, meaning you can just sit back, relax and look forward to an unforgettable escape.

Here’s how
it works

    • Share your travel preferences now

      Business class flights for the festive period are already in exceptionally high demand, particularly inbound flights to the UK in early January as many return to work in the New Year. Likewise, the most sought-after destinations, premium suites, and private villas are booking up quickly. The sooner we know your preferences, the better our chances of securing your ideal festive escape.

    • Carrier will provide you with a guaranteed final price and confirm your booking

      We now have confirmed festive rates from almost all of our hotel partners, meaning there’s no guestimating involved and the price we give you will be the final price you pay. Once availability is confirmed, we will finalise everything and let you know once it’s booked.

    • Deposits & cancellation terms made clear upfront

      Our bespoke, personal approach means the terms of each booking is different. They vary greatly and in some cases (most notably for ski holidays) you can expect to pay up to 50% of the holiday price as a deposit. You can be confident that we will always provide complete transparency and communicate clearly the specific terms of your booking before you go ahead.

Where to?

Our pick of the best festive holiday spots to spend Christmas and New Year

  • A hammock on the beach attached to a palm tree
    Caribbean & Mexico

    It's all idyllic landscapes and take-it-easy vibes in the Caribbean... at least, that's what the newbies think. But those in the know, they're the ones who see that not all of these islands can fit into the same mould.

    Explore
  • Dubai skyline during sunset
    Dubai

    A strip of shallow ocean in the United Arab Emirates, the Persian Gulf coastline is home to a surreal mirage of bright lights and space invading towers – Dubai.

    Explore
  • Sunrise over a river in winter near Levi, Finnish Lapland
    Finnish Lapland

    During the deep winter, when the sun barely rises and the frozen landscape emits a mystical blue light, Finnish Lapland is a breath of fresh air fantasy.

    Explore
  • Maldives

    Not even those living under a rock can resist the lure of the Maldives’ siren call; especially when this one’s ending is called unrivalled bliss.

    Explore
  • A panoramic view of cape town at sunset
    South Africa

    The ‘Rainbow Nation’ that earnt her stripes in a cacophony of languages, three buzzing cities, and everything from safaris to Winelands in-between; it’s not just a colourful diversity, but the sheer joy for surprises that keeps familiar feet coming back for more.

    Explore
  • Two boats from the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market with one having fruit and another with hats
    Thailand

    Its popularity has risen like the tallest temple tower and images of its Buddha-flanked streets, corrugated rice paddies and otherworldly beaches are bountiful. So it could be argued that, nowadays, Thailand is in no need of an introduction… perhaps.
