It's Nice To Meet You
Meet Your Luxury Holiday Designer
I’m delighted to welcome you to the world of tailor-made, luxury travel. My name is Mel, and alongside my best friend of 12 years, Helen, I’ve made it my mission to turn dream holidays into unforgettable realities.
With a love for adventure and an eye for the exceptional, I specialise in creating luxurious escapes for couples and golf enthusiasts, whether you’re dreaming of a romantic retreat or a golfing getaway with friends. My journeys have taken me across the globe, seeking out the world’s most beautiful destinations and hidden gems. I’ve island-hopped across the Caribbean, soaked up the sun in the Maldives, explored Greece’s sparkling coastlines, and sailed the breath-taking south coast of Croatia.
From the vibrant shores of the Canaries to the cultural riches of Houston, Fort Worth, and Salt Lake City, my travels span both work and leisure, giving me first-hand insight into what makes a holiday truly special.
My career has also allowed me to experience the magic of China, India, and South Korea, deepening my understanding of luxury, service, and cultural authenticity. This knowledge, paired with a genuine passion for getting to know my clients, means I can design bespoke journeys that bring your holiday vision to life, down to every last detail.
While I specialise in couples premium and golf holidays, Helen is your go-to for unforgettable family escapes. Together, we bring two complementary perspectives to our travel consultancy, ensuring every itinerary is perfectly tailored, whether you’re travelling as a pair, a group, or with family in tow.
Your holiday is as unique as you are. When you trust us with your precious time away, you can expect expert guidance, honest advice, and the kind of personal service that only comes from people who care. Let’s create the next chapter in your travel story.

As a self-confessed golf enthusiast and regular visitor to Portugal’s stunning Vilamoura region, I’m often asked, "Is it really as good as everyone says?" The answer: it’s even better. There’s something truly special about the way the sun rises over well-manicured fairways, the hum of excitement on the first tee, and (of course) the post-round stories over fantastic food at the marina.

If you’d told me four years ago that my idea of “holiday happiness” would involve an early tee time, a buggy buzzing beneath the sunshine, and an ice-cold drink at the 19th hole… I might have laughed! But here I am: a passionate (if not always perfect!) golfer, ever on the lookout for the world’s best fairways—a woman who also adores great hotels, heavenly spas, and downright delicious dinners. I
